Current Direction

Leadership changed direction. Manager explained: AI experience is preferred, AI experience is not required, Strong PMO talent is more important. Enterprise AI leadership is willing to train candidates on AI concepts if necessary. Key takeaway: If Candidate A is a stronger consultant and PM leader but lacks AI experience, while Candidate B has more AI exposure but weaker delivery capability, Client would likely hire Candidate A.

Technical Expectations

Although AI expertise is not mandatory, candidates cannot be purely business PMs. Manager specifically noted that successful candidates must demonstrate: Technical aptitude, Ability to engage technical teams Comfort working in technology organizations and Ability to support AI product delivery environments.
