Data & AI – Technical Project Manager

We help clients tackle complex challenges across accounting, financial reporting, transactions, regulatory compliance, digital transformation, data analytics, and artificial intelligence. We blend deep technical expertise with a hands-on, entrepreneurial approach to help the world’s leading companies move forward with confidence.
CFGI is expanding its Data & AI practice across Asia-Pacific and is seeking a Technical Project Manager to lead client delivery. You run data-engineering, artificial-intelligence-engineering and strategy engagements from contractsignature to client acceptance, and engineering work through to production handover. You lead a team ofengineers, run delivery on agile principles and act as the client's day-to-day point of contact.
You will deliver client data and artificial-intelligence engagements on time, on budget and to the agreed scope. Ourengagements run end to end and across the full stack. They span data strategy and architecture, dataplatforms and pipelines, agentic and generative-artificial-intelligence solutions, and the operation of thosesolutions in production. You turn the signed statement of work into a plan and a backlog, and you lead theteam that delivers it.
This is a technical role, not just a coordination role, so deep engineering experience is required to challenge an estimate, read an architecture and judge a technical trade-off with the architect. Artificial-intelligence work can adduncertainty from data, evaluation and model behaviour. You plan for that with time-boxed experiments,acceptance criteria based on evaluation results, and early checks on whether the client's data is ready.
What you might expect:
Mobilise each engagement. You convert the proposal and statement of work into a release plan, a prioritised backlog, milestones, acceptance criteria, a responsibility matrix and a governance cadence agreed with the client.
Run agile delivery. You facilitate Scrum events where Scrum is used, and you manage workflow, work-in-progress limits and flow measures where Kanban is used. Where a client needs fixed-fee milestones or formal stage gates, you adapt governance to those contractual and regulatory requirements.
Lead the delivery team. You agree capacity and commitments with the engineers, remove blockers and set working norms for teams of typically three to ten engineers. The team often spans CFGI engineers and partner engineers in several Asia-Pacific time zones. You coach junior team members, while the engineers' line management stays with the partner.Own the client relationship day to day. You prepare and chair steering committees, write clear status reports and manage expectations. You raise risks and decisions early, in business terms, so that sponsors can act before an issue affects the timeline.
