Data Modernization Technical Project Manager

Join our dynamic team to transform the employee experience through data, analytics, and responsible AI—delivering insights and products that improve workforce outcomes, leader decision-making, and firmwide productivity.

As a Technical Project Manager at JPMorganChase within the HR / Employee Experience Data & Analytics organization, you will lead cross-functional programs that enable high-impact people analytics and data products (e.g., workforce reporting, listening/sentiment insights, talent dashboards, HR data platforms, and AI-enabled employee experiences). You’ll translate HR and employee experience objectives into actionable delivery plans, navigate ambiguity across business and technical stakeholders, and drive measurable outcomes.

• Governance, privacy, and controls: Ensure adherence to data governance, employee data privacy expectations, model risk / AI governance (as applicable), and technology risk management requirements.
• Change management & adoption: Support enablement plans (training, comms, stakeholder readiness) to drive adoption of new analytics products and AI-enabled workflows.
• Team culture: Contribute to an inclusive, high-performing culture through communications, recognition, and team engagement.
