About the Job

As an AI Engagement Manager, you serve as the delivery interface between our AI Factory and Allianz Operating Entities (OEs). Partnering closely with Heads of IT (HoITs), Account Managers, and Local/Global service teams, you translate OE pain points into fundable delivery engagements and steer multiple projects in parallel. You proactively shape and secure demand by making AI Factory capabilities visible early, matching Minimum Viable Solutions (MVS) and reusable assets to real problems, and converting these into funded engagements before OEs look externally.

What You Do

As the primary AI delivery interface for assigned OEs, you partner closely with HoITs, Account Managers, and Local/Global service teams to shape and execute demand.
Qualify & shape OE/Group pain points into deliverable project charters, roadmaps, and business cases; converting qualified opportunities into funded engagements.
Orchestrate multiple AI Factory engagements in parallel, transferring patterns, learnings, and reusable components (MVS reuse) across OEs.
Ensure AI Factory capabilities are visible early through discovery workshops, value hypothesis mapping, and reuse assessments to accelerate time-to-value.
Define right-sized deliverables and milestones; cut or adjust scope pragmatically to protect value, timelines, and budget.
Partner with Forward Deployed Engineers to align backlog, delivery plan, risks, and dependencies; remove blockers and escalate with facts and options.
Manage stakeholder communications and expectations across OE leadership, HoITs and service owners; ensure alignment from discovery to go-live.
Own the build-to-run handover (including support models, SLAs/OLAs, runbooks, MLOps/monitoring) and maintain the OE relationship post go-live.

What You Bring

Proven experience in steering IT delivery or IT programs and translating business problems into delivered software in large, matrix organizations ideally in insurance or other regulated environments. Knowledge of Allianz Group & Allianz Technology is a plus.

Advanced stakeholder management and communication skills across OE/HoIT leadership, technical teams, and security/compliance; ability to own relationships beyond delivery and into run.
Entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable with ambiguity, taking ownership, driving clarity in build-up environment to turn ideas into reality.
