[LPS] Senior Technical Project Manager – ITSM, AIOps and Datacentre Integration

Role Overview

The Senior Technical Project Manager will lead the end-to-end delivery of the NDP1 sovereign AI data centre technology programme. The role is responsible for coordinating the implementation of the ITSM, ITOM and AIOps platform, systems integration, security and compliance controls, and global network-management capabilities across the Singapore–Batam environment.

This is a senior delivery role requiring strong programme governance, technical understanding and stakeholder leadership. The successful candidate will manage multiple technical workstreams, vendors and dependencies through solution design, implementation, testing, operational readiness and transition to Day 2 support.

• Ensure requirements are traceable to test cases, evidence and acceptance outcomes.

• Coordinate the resolution of defects and security findings before production release.

• Manage operational-readiness reviews covering runbooks, monitoring, support arrangements, escalation procedures, documentation and training.

• Ensure each contractual milestone is supported by complete acceptance evidence and formal sign-off.

• Coordinate cutover, go-live and stabilisation activities, including rollback and contingency planning.

Commercial, Vendor and Resource Management

• Manage project budgets, forecasts, resource plans, procurement dependencies and commercial milestones.

• Track vendor and subcontractor performance against agreed scope, timelines, service levels and quality standards.

• Validate that scope changes and additional effort are supported by documented impact assessments and approvals.

• Coordinate named project resources and ensure replacement personnel meet the required qualifications and experience.

• Support commercial discussions relating to implementation, licensing, training, warranty and Day 2 support.

• Confirm that deliverable acceptance aligns with contractual payment milestones.

• Maintain clear accountability across all vendors and workstreams.

Security, Compliance and Data Sovereignty

• Ensure project delivery incorporates applicable requirements under MAS TRM, MTCS SS584, ISO/IEC 27001, PDPA and NDP1 data-sovereignty controls.

• Coordinate security reviews, penetration testing, vulnerability remediation, audit evidence and compliance sign-offs.

• Ensure operational data, logs, access controls and integrations comply with approved residency, encryption and identity-governance requirements.

• Work with security and compliance specialists to maintain audit readiness throughout the programme.

• Ensure critical and high-severity findings are resolved within the agreed timelines before go-live.

Knowledge Transfer and Transition

• Ensure knowledge-transfer, training and handover activities are planned as part of the overall delivery schedule.

• Coordinate the development and approval of operating procedures, support runbooks and technical documentation.

• Confirm operational teams are trained and ready to support each phase before handover.

• Manage the transition from project delivery into warranty and Day 2support.

• Ensure open risks, issues and actions are formally transferred to the relevant operational owners.
