The posting, as Avetta, LLC wrote it

SUMMARY

Avetta is evolving beyond traditional Agile and SAFe delivery frameworks into an AI-Augmented Product Development Lifecycle (AI-PDLC) a structured pipeline where AI agents assist at every stage, from product discovery through to production release, while humans retain ownership of every key decision.

As an Agile Project Manager (APM) in the AI-PDLC, you are the connective tissue of that pipeline. You don't just track progress, but you ensure the right human judgment is applied at the right gates, so AI-generated work meets Avetta's quality bar before it moves forward.

This role is ideal for a mid-level Agile delivery professional who is confident running cross-functional initiatives, comfortable working directly with product and engineering pod teams, and genuinely curious about how AI is reshaping software delivery.

Candidates residing within 30 miles of an Avetta office are required to follow a hybrid work schedule of three days in the office and two days working from home each week. Candidates residing more than 30 miles from an Avetta office may be considered for remote employment.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Pipeline Coordination & Flow Management
• Own end-to-end delivery flow for one or more initiatives across Avetta's 5-zone AI-PDLC pipeline — from validated discovery through to production release.
• Track initiative progress using the 3 Red Box milestone model (pipeline entry → approved spec → production), with cycle time and throughput as primary delivery metrics.
• Coordinate zone-to-zone handoffs, ensuring the right sign-offs are in place before any AI-generated artifact like spec, task breakdown, or code advances downstream.
• Facilitate the Spec Agreement gate: the checkpoint where both the Product Manager and Tech Lead confirm intent and approach before AI-assisted coding begins.
• Maintain the Gate Decision Log in Confluence for each initiative: what was reviewed, what was decided, and what changed: the audit trail proving human judgment drove every step.
• Flag missing or incomplete dependencies (such as the SDAP coding rulebook) early; no AI coding work moves forward without them.
• Cross-Pod Dependency Orchestration
• Coordinate across 3–5 person delivery pods, acting as the integration point for work spanning multiple teams, domains, or codebases.
• Facilitate cross-pod syncs focused on AI pipeline blockers, spec quality issues, and zone-to-zone handoff readiness, replaci

streams without losing sight of gate integrity.

• Collaborative, proactive, and comfortable influencing without direct authority.
• Change-agent mindset with genuine openness to rapid iteration as the AI-PDLC framework matures.
• Education
• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field; or equivalent practical experience in Agile delivery or program coordination roles.
• Certifications (Preferred, Not Required)
• SAFe and AI fluency credentials (SAFe (SA / SSM / SASM / SPC), AWS AI Practitioner, Google AI Essentials) are weighted above traditional PM certifications (CSM / PSM I–II, CAPM / PMP for this role.
