About Amini
Amini is building the sovereign, AI-native distributed infrastructure stack for the Global South, giving governments and enterprises the data, compute, and connectivity they need to own and govern their digital future, rather than depend on outside platforms. We already work with governments across the southern hemisphere, and our work has been recognised by TIME100 AI, MIT Solve, and the World Economic Forum. We help our partners and customers put AI to work in ways that drive real growth, and make sure that opportunity is shared more equally across the Global South.
Our core values, Collaboration, Trust, Integrity, Humility, and Passion, are at the heart of everything we do. In practice, that means defaulting to sharing credit and information openly, being honest about what we don't yet know, and choosing to admit a mistake early rather than protect an ego.
Our team is small, highly skilled, and non-hierarchical. We recognise the transformational nature of our work, but we stay humble and ego-free about it. We believe in fully using our skills and experience, sharing ideas openly, and making a collective impact, one we intend to grow from the governments and communities we already work with today into a much broader influence on the AI industry and lives across the Global South.
We're 3 years old and at a genuinely pivotal stage. We're a small team, but scaling quickly. Having spent our early years finding real product-market fit, we're now moving into a phase with substantial commercial opportunity ahead of us. Capturing it well isn't just about hiring more people: it's about putting the structure, SOPs, and systems in place that let us consistently deliver exceptional quality products and services to our customers, and ultimately create lasting impact across the Global South. Having proven our model in Barbados, we're now entering a critical scaling phase, moving from project-based delivery to a repeatable, reliable process for deploying across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.
The role
As PMO Lead, you will be the delivery spine for each country: the single owner of the deployment plan from contract signature through go-live. Without this role, every deployment runs on senior leadership's personal bandwidth. Your job is to change that.
Critically, you are also the person the customer deals with day to day during deployment, managing their expectations, keeping them informed, and making sure the programme feels well-run from their side, not just ours.
You will work at the intersection of our customers, Amini 's internal delivery functions (Engineering, Tech, Product,Customer Success), and Commercial, translating a signed contract into a live, working deployment, and then into a repeatable playbook for the next country.
Responsibilities
Delivery Ownership
Own the deployment plan end to end for each new country, from contract signature through go-live
Act as the single point of accountability for delivery timelines, risks, and status
Own the handover points between stages (e.g., contract sign to deployment, deployment to steady-state support) and make sure nothing falls through the cracks
Customer Programme Management
Act as the primary point of contact for the government customer throughout the deployment, running status updates, managing expectations, and resolving issues before they become escalations
Manage scope and changes with the customer directly: knowing what's in the original agreement, what's a reasonable accommodation, and when something needs to be escalated commercially
Report deployment status and milestones clearly to both leadership and the customer, on a regular cadence
Cross-Functional Coordination
Coordinate across functions involved in delivery (Engineering/RUN, Hardware, Forward Deployed Engineers, Customer Success) to keep each deployment on track
Flag risks and blockers early, with enough lead time for leadership to act
Partner with the regional commercial teams (e.g., Caribbean, Africa) to ensure a smooth handover from contract signature into delivery
Process & Playbook Building
Build a standard, repeatable delivery playbook so each new country launch gets faster and lower-risk than the last Establish tracking and reporting processes where none currently exist Contribute to Amini 's broader shift from heroic individual effort to scalable, distributed execution What You Will Have: Essential Extensive experience in a programme/project management or delivery management role, ideally owning end-to-end delivery for external customers (not just internal projects) Direct experience managing customer-facing programmes: comfortable being the face of a delivery team to a client, not just coordinating internally Comfortable being the accountable owner for a plan that depends on other functions' work, without formal authority over those teams Strong stakeholder management skills, able to manage expectations and communicate confidently with government or enterprise client stakeholders Strong organisational skills, able to build tracking and reporting processes from scratch Experience working across time zones and with distributed, cross-functional teams Calm under pressure: early deployments will surface things the plan didn't anticipate What You Will Have: Highly Desirable Experience in infrastructure, telecom, or hardware-adjacent deployments (physical, in-country rollouts rather than pure software launches) Experience supporting government or public-sector customers through onboarding/go-live Experience with sovereign cloud, data residency, or digital public infrastructure (DPI) programmes PMP, PRINCE2, or similar certification Prior work in Global South markets Originally posted on Himalayas
