As an AWS Smart City Program Manager Consultant for AG Consulting Partners, a typical day might include the following:

• Leading end-to-end execution of complex Smart City programs across infrastructure, energy, transportation, and safety
• Coordinating stakeholders including local governments, vendors, service providers, and internal product and engineering teams
• Overseeing the deployment of IoT-enabled systems such as intelligent lighting, smart mobility, surveillance, energy management, and digital twin platforms
• Developing program governance models, KPIs, and reporting structures to track delivery, performance, and impact
• Ensuring compliance with smart city standards (e.g., ISO 37120/37122), sustainability targets, and data security protocols
• Managing budgets, forecasts, and resource allocations to ensure cost-effective program execution
• Driving data-informed decision making through real-time analytics, performance insights, and optimization strategies
• Ensuring project milestones are achieved on schedule and within budget, while navigating a complex regulatory and stakeholder landscape

• You’re confident working cross-functionally with global and government stakeholders to align technical execution with public needs
• You have strong organizational and time management skills, balancing strategic goals with day-to-day project execution
• You’re proactive and take full ownership of your work — you're comfortable leading programs without constant direction
• You have a collaborative leadership style that builds trust, fosters innovation, and drives clarity
• You communicate with professionalism, clarity, and confidence, whether reporting to an executive or aligning with a vendor
• You’re a problem solver who thrives on untangling complexity and turning vision into results
• You are calm under pressure, comfortable in ambiguity, and quick to adapt when project dynamics shift

You have:

• 15+ years of experience in program or project management, including 5+ years managing urban or smart city–related initiatives
• Proven track record of delivering multi-stakeholder, technology-enabled infrastructure projects
• Strong understanding of Smart City technologies, including IoT, AI/ML, cloud solutions, public safety systems, and digital twin platforms
• Experience collaborating with city agencies, government partners, and private-sector technology vendors
• Familiarity with regulatory and sustainability frameworks including ISO 37120/37122, urban safety standards, and cybersecurity best practices
• Excellent communication, leadership, and decision-making skills
• Proficiency in project and resource management tools (e.g., JIRA, MS Project, Confluence)
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering, urban planning, smart infrastructure, or related field

You might also have:

• PMP, Smart Cities Professional Certification, or other relevant project management credentials
• Background in digital transformation, enterprise system integration, or data governance
