Why we're hiring:

Run WPP's high-volume portfolio of team- and workflow-level AI solutions (known internally as the "Silver" tier) - agents that augment how teams work - at pace and at low cost, closing the gap that stalled the first wave of adoption, where most users never progressed beyond basic personal-productivity use. This tier decides whether the all-staff rollout is remembered as a genuine platform launch or just a licence add-on

What you'll be doing:

Deliver 50+ high-value team- and workflow-level AI solutions end-to-end - initiation, planning, sprints, deployment and closure - running external delivery partners and progressively building citizen-developer and local-developer capability across the business clusters.

Run agile delivery - roadmap and backlog, sprints and milestones, and a live RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies).

Source the pipeline from the champion network and the persona workshops; facilitate discovery, formalise requirements and align scope and value; run the AI CoE's scored intake review and prioritise the use-cases most at risk of being skipped - too complex for users to self-serve, but not large enough for the enterprise-scale track.

Build on Copilot Studio and the M365 Agent Toolkit, with the appropriate governance (AI CoE review, solution packaging, a Dev / UAT / Production pipeline, evaluations, and human review at key steps).

Own delivery quality - testing and user-acceptance coordination, agent validation (accuracy, bias and hallucination checks) and documentation.

Support change and adoption - user onboarding, training, feedback loops and embedding agents into existing workflows.

Track delivery throughput and value, and the path that promotes simpler personal-productivity use-cases up to team-scale solutions; prevent use-cases becoming stuck in backlog or built-then-abandoned.

Coordinate with the AI CoE's junior AI engineer (Copilot build coordinator) and local development teams to scale delivery offshore.

What you'll need:

5+ years as a delivery PM (project, consulting, IT or data projects) with agile / workflow-automation delivery; ideally at least one AI/ML or analytics initiative taken to production.

Good understanding of AI and generative-AI concepts and lifecycle - enough to talk meaningfully with engineers and data scientists.

Working familiarity with the Microsoft Copilot product family - pre-built and shared agents, Cowork, Agent Builder and especially Copilot Studio and the M365 Agent Toolkit (the main build tools for this tier); aware of where governance and application lifecycle management apply.

Comfortable running external delivery partners and a high volume of small-to-mid builds; strong engagement with business champions.

Agile / Kanban delivery with Jira or Azure DevOps; basic grasp of AI-specific risk and compliance (bias, privacy, security, model monitoring).

India-based for cost-efficiency and volume throughput.

Certifications (valued, not required): Scrum / Kanban or PMP / PRINCE2; Microsoft Copilot Studio / agent training.

Who you are:

You're open: We are inclusive and collaborative; we encourage the free exchange of ideas; we respect and celebrate diverse views. We are open-minded: to new ideas, new partnerships, new ways of working.

You're optimistic: We believe in the power of creativity, technology and talent to create brighter futures or our people, our clients and our communities. We approach all that we do with conviction: to try the new and to seek the unexpected.

You're extraordinary: we are stronger together: through collaboration we achieve the amazing. We are creative leaders and pioneers of our industry; we provide extraordinary every day.

What we'll give you:

Passionate, inspired people – We aim to create a culture in which people can do extraordinary work.

Scale and opportunity – We offer the opportunity to create, influence and complete projects at a scale that is unparalleled in the industry.

Challenging and stimulating work – Unique work and the opportunity to join a group of creative problem solvers. Are you up for the challenge?
