Director of Projects

At UVeye, we're on a mission to redefine vehicle safety and reliability on a global scale. Founded in 2016, we pioneered the world's first fully automated suite of vehicle inspection systems. At the heart of this innovation lies our advanced AI-centric technology, representing the pinnacle of computer vision, machine learning, and generative AI within the automotive sector.

With over $380M in funding and strategic partnerships with industry giants such as Toyota, Amazon, General Motors, Volvo, and Hertz, our technology is utilized in manufacturing plants, dealerships, wholesale auctions, delivery fleets, seaports, and more. Our growing global team of 250+ employees is committed to creating a workplace that celebrates diversity, encourages teamwork, and strives for excellence.

We are looking for a Director of Projects to lead our global execution engine. In this role, you will not just manage projects; you will manage a team of Program and Project Managers, ensuring our most critical strategic initiatives are delivered with precision. You will serve as the bridge between executive vision and departmental execution, optimizing our internal "operating system" to drive growth.

A day in the life and how you’ll make an impact:

• Directly manage, mentor, and scale a team of Program Managers. You will be responsible for their professional development, workload balancing, and performance excellence.
• Partner with the C-suite to translate annual business goals into a concrete, executable portfolio roadmap.
• Define and evangelize the company’s project management standards. Whether it’s Agile, Lean, or a custom hybrid, you own the "how" of our execution.
• Maintain a macro-view of all active programs, identifying cross-functional dependencies, risks, and resource conflicts before they impact the bottom line.
• Act as the primary point of contact for executive leadership regarding program status, budget health, and ROI.
• Lead large-scale organizational transformations, ensuring that new processes or tools are adopted smoothly across the company.
  
  

• 10+ years of experience in program/project management, with at least 4+ years in a people-management role (specifically managing other PMs or Team Leads).
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field. An MBA or PMP/PgMP certification is a significant advantage.
• Proven ability to transition complex AI/ML models and Algorithms from experimental research to high-availability, production-grade systems.
• Must possess the technical depth to audit algorithmic logic, evaluate model performance metrics, and challenge technical debt in AI pipelines.
• Proven track record in a fast-paced tech global environment
• Deep understanding of backend architecture, data engineering, and the infrastructure required to scale.
• Ability to use data to tell a story. You should be an expert in project management tooling (e.g., Jira, Monday.com, Asana) and BI platforms.
• Exceptional negotiation and "soft power" skills. You must be able to influence senior VPs and Directors without having direct authority over their departments.
  
  

• Pioneer Advanced Solutions: Harness cutting-edge technologies in AI, machine learning, and computer vision to revolutionize vehicle inspections.
• Drive Global Impact: Your innovations will play a crucial role in enhancing automotive safety and reliability, impacting lives and businesses on an international scale.
• Career Growth Opportunities: Participate in a journey of rapid development, surrounded by groundbreaking advancements and strategic industry partnerships.
