We're committed to fostering a culture of creativity, belonging and continuous learning, attracting and developing the brightest talent, and providing exciting career opportunities that help our people grow.    For more information, visit WPP.com.   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.
