Job Description
The Systems Manager, Delivery & Change Management, leads user enablement and change communications for Enterprise Data & Analytics platforms, including C3.ai, Azure Databricks and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

You will act as the core orchestrator tracking platform dependencies, technical risks, and schedule milestones. Additionally, you will drive stakeholder communication, construct technical status reporting, and run comprehensive release governance and readiness reviews, ensuring alignment with downstream business partners, cloud infrastructure teams, and corporate governance.
This position does not provide employment pursuant to the terms of a STEM OPT Training Plan.
