## Job description

The Role:

We’re looking for a Client-Facing, Technical Project Manager to join our team as a primary driver of successful delivery. You’ll be critical for our key enterprise clients—ensuring that our solutions are integrated seamlessly, on time, and with maximum impact.

You aren’t just checking boxes; you are the "glue" between our clients’ ambitious goals and our engineering team’s execution. You’ll navigate complex organizational structures, manage high-stakes timelines, and ensure that every delivery results in a delighted customer. This is a high-ownership role based in New York, requiring a mix of strategic planning and hands-on execution.

You’ll be

- Lead the lifecycle: Own the end-to-end project journey from post-sales kickoff to final delivery, ensuring all milestones are met with precision.
- Manage the client relationship: Act as the primary point of contact for stakeholders, providing transparent updates, managing expectations, and navigating "scope creep" with diplomacy.
- Orchestrate cross-functionally: Coordinate between Obin and client’s engineering, product, design, legal, sourcing, etc. to unblock dependencies and keep the momentum high.
- Mitigate risk: Identify potential bottlenecks or technical hurdles early and develop proactive "Plan B" strategies to keep deployments on track.
- Drive process excellence: Refine our implementation playbooks to ensure we can scale our delivery model without sacrificing quality.

Expectations:

- Exceptional Communicator: You can present to a C-suite executive one hour and dive into technical requirements with a developer the next.
- Process-Driven: You use tools effectively to organize and find genuine joy in a perfectly organized disparate information.
- Diplomatic Negotiator: You know how to push back on unrealistic client demands while maintaining a partnership-first relationship.
- Regulated Industry Fluency: You understand the constraints of working within highly regulated industries and are comfortable discussing data security and compliance.
- Unshakeable Ownership: When a project hits a snag, you don't look for someone to blame—you look for a path forward.

Experience Required:

- Minimum 4 years of experience in technical project management, implementation, or technical account management
- Experience working in high-growth startups or client-facing consulting roles
- Proven track record of managing enterprise-level deployments (ideally within fintech, banking, or SaaS)
- PMP, Prince2, or Agile certifications are nice to have; but we value a history of successful deliveries the most

## About Obin AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Obin AI builds production-grade AI agents that automate complex workflows for regulated financial institutions, enabling them to scale capacity without adding headcount.
- **Entity Type**: Private (seed stage)
- **Headquarters**: New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Apoorv Saxena (CEO, Co-founder) and Dr. Valliappa "Lak" Lakshmanan (CTO, Co-founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Enterprise AI for financial services (asset management, wealth management, insurance, underwriting, portfolio monitoring, origination, claims)
- **Target customers**: B2B – large financial institutions (top-tier banks, asset managers, insurers)
- **Mission**: "Expand institutional capacity without expanding headcount, enabling financial institutions to deploy capital faster, price risk more precisely, and operate with real-time insight that was previously impossible." [obin.ai/about](https://www.obin.ai/about)

## Products & Services
- **Obin Agentic Platform**: End-to-end platform to reimagine, build, and manage production-grade AI agents inside a client’s own environment. Modular, governed, and composable.
- **Robin Agents**: Regulated AI agents trained on domain expertise to execute complex financial workflows (underwriting, due diligence, IC memo creation, wealth advisor enablement, claims processing) with full traceability and auditability.
- **Obin Financial Agent for Gemini Enterprise**: A pre-built agent available on Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise for Financial Services, already in production at a major U.S. life insurer and a private credit fund. [obin.ai/post](https://obin.ai/post/obin-ai-emerges-from-stealth)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly available (seed stage)

## Competitive Advantages

- **Governance by design**: Every agent output is traceable, auditable, and reversible; role‑based permissions and built‑in fail‑safes satisfy compliance teams.
- **Open architecture**: Transparent, modular design that runs inside the client’s environment – client owns data, models, and IP.
- **Edge‑case mastery**: Agents are trained on the exceptions and nuance that define financial workflows, not just routine 80% tasks.

## Strategic Focus
