Programme Manager
Programme Managers and Directors oversee big projects in organizations. They organize teams, timelines and budgets so that large pieces of work get done on time. They work across different departments and with many people to reach shared goals.
AI helps here, but has not taken over
AI can already do some of this job, but the day-to-day work still leans on a person to decide, check and take responsibility. Nothing formally protects this job though, so the safest move is to keep building the judgement AI cannot yet copy.
