Role: Project Manager – IAM & Digital Infrastructure

Location: Bangalore, India

Department: Digital Infrastructure & Platforms (IAM)

Number of Positions: 1

Role Description

Airbus is seeking an experienced, versatile Project Manager to join our IAM Digital Infrastructure department in Bangalore. As our department transitions toward a high-performance, product-centric delivery model, we require a delivery expert who can manage Multi-Functional Teams (MFTs), steer critical work packages, oversee project budgets, and facilitate Agile/Scrum execution when needed to maintain engineering velocity.

In this role, you will serve as the operational backbone for high-impact Identity & Access Management initiatives, ensuring work packages and milestones are delivered on time, within budget, and in strict alignment with Airbus quality and security standards.

Key Responsibilities

• MFT & Work Package Delivery: Lead and orchestrate cross-functional Multi-Functional Teams (MFTs) across engineering, security, and operations to deliver complex IAM work packages from initiation through to closure.

• Agile Facilitation & Scrum Leadership: Step in as a hands-on Scrum Master when required—facilitating daily stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and actively removing blockers to maintain squad velocity.

• Financial & Resource Oversight: Track and manage project budgets, resource allocations, operational expenditures, and financial metrics where needed to ensure cost-effective delivery.

• Cross-Functional Coordination: Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Technical Leads, and Service Delivery Managers to align project timelines with the overarching product roadmap.

• Risk & Stakeholder Management: Identify project risks, mitigate inter-team dependencies, and provide clear, transparent status reporting and dashboards to departmental leadership.

Qualifications & Experience

• Graduate or Postgraduate in Engineering, Information Technology, or related field with 8–12 years of enterprise IT project management experience.

• Proficiency across both traditional Waterfall/Stage-Gate project governance and Agile/Scrum delivery frameworks.

• Solid experience in work package breakdown, budget oversight, resource capacity planning, and tracking project financial metrics.

• Hands-on expertise with project tooling: Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Project, and portfolio management platforms.

• Strong facilitation and leadership skills with a proven ability to lead matrixed, cross-functional, and international teams without direct hierarchical authority.

• Nice to Have: IAM/Security domain exposure, PMP/Agile certifications (PMI-PMP, CSM, PSM), or French language proficiency.

Alignment within the IAM Department

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
