Project Manager — Digital India Programmes

About this AI-Augmented Project Management role at National e-Governance Division (NeGD)

National e-Governance Division (NeGD) is India's apex body driving flagship digital transformation programmes like DigiLocker, UMANG, MeriPehchaan, and CSC 2.0. As a Project Manager here, you'll steer mission-critical government digital infrastructure across India from Delhi—a mid-level role that blends traditional program management with modern AI productivity tools. This is your chance to shape how hundreds of millions of Indians access government services digitally.

What you'll do

• Lead program delivery for Digital India initiatives (DigiLocker, UMANG, MeriPehchaan, CSC 2.0), managing timelines, milestones, and cross-functional teams across multiple stakeholder groups
• Oversee vendor management and procurement, ensuring quality and cost-efficiency in tech partnerships and deployments
• Manage project budgets and financial oversight, tracking spend against allocated resources and reporting to senior leadership
• Coordinate with government ministries, CSC network partners, and technology vendors to align program objectives and resolve blockers
• Use AI tools (Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT) for productivity and analysis—summarizing status reports, generating insights from project dashboards, and automating routine documentation
• Maintain dashboard literacy and reporting accuracy, presenting program health metrics and KPIs to stakeholders

Who should apply

You need an MBA/PGDM or B.Tech degree with 5–10 years of program management experience in tech or government sectors. Mid-level professionals with PMP or Prince2 certification (preferred, not mandatory) should apply. You must be comfortable with stakeholder management, vendor negotiations, and budget oversight. Familiarity with AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude is a bonus—we'll train on specifics, but comfort with AI-assisted workflows helps.

Salary & offer in context

NeGD offers ₹1,20,000–₹1,80,000 per month for this contract role (renewable after 1 year). Mid-level AI-Augmented Project Management salaries in India typically range ₹80K–₹1.5L/month in private tech; government roles at this seniority often skew to the higher end for project-staff positions. This contract-to-potential-conversion opportunity sits competitively within that band.

Path to apply

Direct application through NeGD's online portal at negd.gov.in/careers/—no exam required. Submit your resume, cover letter, and PMP/Prince2 certificate (if you have one). The selection is interview-based, so prepare to discuss your largest program delivery, stakeholder conflicts you've resolved, and how you'd use AI tools in project workflows. Applications close June 15, 2026, so apply soon.
