Location: Hybrid.  Candidates located within 25 miles of a DXC office are required to work onsite two days per week and may travel up to 50% to client locations.  

What you get to do in this role: 

Own and Drive Specific Initiatives:  

  • Take ownership of 1-3 major initiatives within the Delivery Acceleration portfolio (e.g., AI product launches, methodology rollouts, tool integrations, platform builds) 
  • Build comprehensive project plans with clear milestones, dependencies, resource requirements, and success criteria 
  • Drive day-to-day execution—running working sessions, tracking progress, managing risks, and ensuring teams have what they need to deliver 
  • Make real-time decisions on scope, timeline, and resource trade-offs in collaboration with technical leaders and stakeholders 
  • Hold teams accountable to commitments while maintaining strong collaborative relationships built on mutual respect 

Manage Technical Complexity: 

  • Understand the technical architecture, integration points, and dependencies across AI products, internal systems, third-party tools, and the ServiceNow platform 
  • Anticipate technical risks and work with engineering teams to develop mitigation strategies before problems escalate 
  • Facilitate technical design discussions and decision-making without needing to be the deepest technical expert in the room 
  • Translate technical complexity into clear status updates and implications for non-technical stakeholders 
  • Ask the right questions to surface hidden dependencies, resource constraints, or architectural concerns early 

Collaborate Across Delivery Acceleration: 

  • Partner with Portfolio and Program Management to ensure your initiatives align with overall portfolio strategy, timelines, and resource plans 
  • Work peer-to-peer with other Technical Project Managers to identify cross-initiative dependencies and coordinate sequencing 
  • Build strong working relationships with technical leaders 
  • Coordinate with Global Acceleration and Modernization PMO, OCM, and Metrics teams to ensure your initiatives integrate with broader A&M transformation efforts 
  • Contribute project status, risks, and learnings to portfolio-level reporting and decision-making forums 

Drive Stakeholder Alignment:  

  • Facilitate alignment across diverse stakeholders—technical teams, business leaders, end users, and external vendors 
  • Run effective working sessions that drive decisions, not just status updates—coming prepared with options, recommendations, and clear asks 
  • Communicate project status transparently—celebrating wins, surfacing risks early, and proposing solutions rather than just reporting problems 
  • Manage stakeholder expectations proactively, especially when scope, timeline, or resources need adjustment 
  • Build trust through follow-through, technical credibility, and honest communication 

Navigate Ambiguity and Change:  

  • Operate effectively in environments where requirements evolve, priorities shift, and the "right answer" isn't always clear 
  • Adapt project plans quickly as new information emerges, technologies change, or business priorities shift 
  • Make pragmatic decisions with incomplete information, using judgment to balance speed with quality 
  • Help teams maintain focus and momentum even when the path forward isn't perfectly defined 
  • Embrace the iterative nature of innovation—MVPs, pilots, feedback loops, and continuous improvement 

Contribute to Organizational Excellence 

  • Identify process improvements, reusable templates, and best practices that benefit the entire Delivery Acceleration organization 
  • Share lessons learned from your projects to help other Technical Project Managers and the broader team improve 
  • Contribute to portfolio planning cycles—helping size initiatives, estimate effort, and sequence work realistically 
  • Participate in retrospectives and continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen how the organization delivers 

What Makes This Role Different: 

  • This isn't traditional project management where you follow a defined playbook. You're helping build new AI products, transform delivery methodology, and integrate cutting-edge tools, often without precedent or clear requirements. 
  • You'll need to bring structure without bureaucracy, drive accountability without command-and-control, and deliver results while building relationships.
  • The best Technical Project Managers in this role are equal parts strategic thinker, tactical executor, technical translator, and organizational catalyst. 

Qualifications 

  • 7+ years of technical project management experience in software development, AI/ML, or technology consulting environments 
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects involving cross-functional technical teams, ambiguous requirements, and evolving priorities 
  • Strong technical acumen—ability to understand software architecture, APIs, data flows, and integration patterns without necessarily being a developer 
  • Proven track record delivering results in fast-paced, innovation-driven environments where change is constant 
  • Excellent collaboration skills—ability to work peer-to-peer with senior technical leaders and influence without direct authority 
  • Project management expertise with various methodologies (Agile, Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall) and the judgment to apply the right approach 
  • Outstanding communication skills—can explain technical concepts clearly and tailor messages for different audiences 
  • ServiceNow platform knowledge or experience with enterprise workflow automation preferred 
  • PMP, CSA & 1-2 ServiceNow CIS Certifications required and/or completed within 120 days

Must be legally authorized to work in the Canada without requiring sponsorship now or in the future.
