Full-time : Hybrid Experience : 6-10 years
About the Role
Lyzr.ai is on a mission to put enterprise-grade agentic AI in the hands of every organization. Our Professional Services team partners with marquee clients — from global consulting firms to Fortune 500 enterprises — to design, deploy, and scale Lyzr-powered AI agents in production.
As Senior Project Manager, you will own end-to-end delivery of these high-stakes engagements, acting as the connective tissue between client stakeholders, Lyzr's engineering pods, and Lyzr's product and commercial teams.
What You'll Own
Delivery & Client Success during deployment and managed services
- Lead delivery of complex, multi-phase AI agent deployments (SOW through hypercare) for enterprise customers.
- Define project scope, WBS, risk register, and governance cadence from kick-off; maintain a single source of truth for plan, budget, and status throughout.
- Run executive steering committees and weekly client status calls; produce concise written updates that build trust and surface decisions early.
- Manage client-side change requests and scope creep with a structured CR process, protecting both Lyzr's margins and client satisfaction.
- Oversee UAT, go-live readiness, and hypercare handover to ensure every deployment enters production on a stable footing.
Team & Cross-functional Leadership
- Coordinate across solution architects, AI/ML engineers, data engineers, and QA — typically 4–10 person cross-functional pods per engagement.
- Partner with the Pre-Sales and Sales teams during deal closure to validate technical feasibility and shape realistic delivery timelines.
- Act as an escalation point and unblock delivery impediments in real time; know when to escalate to Lyzr leadership vs. resolve independently.
- Contribute to professionalizing the PS practice by refining delivery frameworks, project templates, RAID logs, and lessons-learned libraries.
Commercial Accountability
- Identify and qualify expansion opportunities within active accounts, looping in the account team as appropriate.
- Support SOW drafting and SLA definition for new and renewal engagements.
What You Bring
- We're looking for a seasoned PM with genuine enterprise delivery chops and the commercial instinct to protect both client outcomes and Lyzr's business.

- Excellent written and verbal communication; able to simplify technical nuance for business audiences and translate requirements for engineers.
