AI agents building production software at enterprise scale

I’m hiring a Project Manager for an ASX listed household name They’ve already proven the idea with a proof of concept that used AI agents to build software. Now they want to take it into production and make it the normal way their customer teams build software.

The first project is a rebuild of their main customer mobile app, done with AI agents, on a new stack that runs on both iOS and Android. You’ll take it from the roadmap all the way through to a production release.

You’ll report to the head of the AI program, who sets the AI strategy and technical direction. Delivery is yours, so the plan, the team, the vendors, the risks and the budget all sit with you.

What you’ll be doing

Turning the AI roadmap into one delivery plan, split into two week sprints with clear milestones, dependencies and acceptance criteria

Getting the delivery team set up and making sure the right people are free at each stage

Keeping engineering, product, testing, security, architecture, the business and outside vendors moving together

Reporting progress, confidence and the decisions needed to the AI working group and senior leadership

Managing risks,



issues and dependencies, and raising problems early when scope, timing or quality are at risk

Tracking budget, vendor spend, resourcing and cost forecasts

Getting architecture, testing, responsible AI and security approvals in place before each release

Writing up the ways of working, guardrails and lessons into a playbook other squads can use

What we’re looking for

A senior project manager or delivery lead background in software, ideally digital or mobile products

Experience running agile delivery across several teams and outside vendors at once

Experience in large organisations, including steering committees, release management and security reviews

Strong control of budgets, vendor spend and forecasting

Clear, calm communication, and you can tell senior leaders exactly where things stand

An interest in AI and how it’s changing software delivery. If you’ve run an AI or automation program, or you use tools like Claude Code, Copilot or Cursor yourself, that’s a big plus

Mobile app delivery experience is highly regarded

You don’t need to be an AI engineer, as the technical direction sits with the head of the AI program and the engineering teams. This role needs someone who can run a complex program across several teams with real discipline, and who’s curious about how AI agents are changing the way software gets built.

There aren’t many enterprise programs in Australia putting AI agents into production software delivery yet, so this is a good one to have on your CV.
