CloudFactory is looking for a Senior Project Manager to join our new Incubation Team in Delivery Operations who are focused on future technologies and solutions for our Clients.

This will be an amazing opportunity for you to interact with our biggest clients (these are globally recognized and leading companies) and have the biggest possible impact in providing meaningful work for our workforce.

Can you find solutions to most problems and bring people on a journey with you?

As a Senior Project Manager (Incubation)  you will be responsible for the designing, configuring and operating custom solutions to complement CloudFactory’s technology stack for our clients in response to their specific business and compliance requirements. The role is an even mix of client-facing work and behind the scenes design, testing, data analysis, and data manipulation supporting initial phases of project delivery prior to full production. 

Four key skills that will set you apart:

  • Technology: You will be working with cutting edge technology solutions. A strong interest in technology and being passionate about using technology to create value for our clients is a must.
  • Client facing skills: Day-to-day responsibilities will involve communicating with clients, both on the phone or via email. Strong written and verbal communication skills are required for success.
  • Data: Analyzing and understanding client data is an important factor that influences a client's system design; as such, you must be eager to understand data relationships and the interplay between data and business requirements.
  • Collaboration: You will be in consistent communication with Product and Solution Consultants  to identify, report and manage any features needed for the success of the project but also the ongoing delivery workflow in production.

You will be faced with challenges and will need to solve for both the immediate need as well as document the best practices for wider application in our delivery department.

You need to be able to understand the work we do, how we do it, and why we do it. That usually requires doing it yourself, first.

You're confident, but humble. You're adventurous, you do not refrain from experimentation. You're data-driven. You're a natural problem solver. And you are resourceful.

This role is remote but may at times require you to work from our offices

Negotiating Your AI Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven itself to be one of the most transformative forces in today’s business world. From smart chatbots in customer service to predictive analytics in finance, AI technologies are reshaping how organisations operate and innovate. As the demand for AI professionals grows, so does the complexity of compensation packages. If you’re a mid‑senior AI professional, you’ve likely seen job offers that include far more than just a base salary—think equity, bonuses, and a range of perks designed to entice you into joining or staying with a company. For many, the focus remains squarely on salary. While that’s understandable—after all, your monthly take‑home pay is what covers day-to-day expenses—limiting your negotiations to salary alone can leave considerable value on the table. From stock options in ambitious startups to sign‑on bonuses that ‘buy you out’ of your current contract, modern AI job offers often include elements that can significantly boost your long-term wealth and job satisfaction. This article aims to shed light on the full scope of AI compensation—specifically focusing on how equity, bonuses, and perks can enhance (or sometimes detract from) the overall value of your package. We’ll delve into how these elements work in practice, what to watch out for, and how to navigate the negotiation process effectively. Our goal is to provide mid‑senior AI professionals with the insights and tools to land a holistic compensation deal that accurately reflects their technical expertise, leadership potential, and strategic importance in this fast-moving field. Whether you’re eyeing a leadership role in machine learning at an established tech giant, or you’re considering a pioneering position at a disruptive AI startup, the knowledge in this guide will help you weigh the merits of base salary alongside the potential riches—and risks—of equity, bonuses, and other benefits. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of how to align your compensation with both your immediate lifestyle needs and long-term career aspirations.
