Technical Project Manager

We are seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager to lead and deliver complex, enterprise-scale initiatives across engineering, infrastructure, and business teams. The role centers on project management leadership: planning, governance, risk management, and keeping stakeholders aligned. Familiarity with modern data and analytics platforms such as Databricks or Snowflake is a strong advantage, since many of our initiatives involve data platform implementations and migrations.

The ideal candidate takes projects from concept through execution and keeps cross-functional teams aligned. They are technical enough to work credibly with engineers and architects without needing to be one.

Key Responsibilities

Project Leadership

• Lead end-to-end delivery of technical projects, including platform implementations, migrations, and modernization efforts
• Define scope, timelines, milestones, and deliverables, and manage changes through a defined change control process
• Build and maintain detailed project plans, schedules, and resource plans
• Identify risks, issues, dependencies, and constraints early, and drive mitigation to closure
• Track budget and resource use against plan
• Give stakeholders and executive leadership clear, regular status reports

Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Coordination

• Align engineering, analytics, infrastructure, security, and business teams around shared goals and priorities
• Translate business needs into clear requirements, work breakdowns, and execution plans
• Facilitate project meetings, sprint ceremonies, working sessions, and decision forums
• Manage third-party vendors and consulting partners, including SOW deliverables and performance
• Escalate issues with clear options and recommendations

Technical Collaboration

• Act as the delivery liaison between technical teams and business stakeholders
• Partner with engineers and architects to understand the solution design well enough to plan, sequence, and track the work
• Ask the right questions to confirm that technical solutions meet business and functional requirements
• Make sure technical decisions, dependencies, and tradeoffs are documented and communicated

Governance & Delivery Excellence

• Establish and maintain project governance, standards, RAID logs, and documentation
• Ensure projects meet security, privacy, and regulatory requirements
• Run delivery with Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid methods, whichever fits the work
• Capture lessons learned and drive continuous improvement in delivery practices

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience managing technical projects in enterprise environments
• A proven track record of delivering complex, multi-workstream projects on time and within scope
• Strong command of project management fundamentals: scope, schedule, budget, risk, and change management
• Experience with Agile and Waterfall delivery, and with tools such as Jira, Smartsheet, MS Project, or similar
• Enough technical fluency to work credibly with engineering teams on infrastructure, cloud, or data projects
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills, including reporting to executives
• Ability to manage competing priorities in complex, fast-moving environments

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience delivering data and analytics projects, such as platform implementations, migrations, or data warehouse modernization
• Working understanding of big data platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, or Spark/Hadoop ecosystems
• Familiarity with data pipeline concepts (ETL/ELT), data warehousing, and lakehouse architecture
• Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Awareness of data governance, data quality, and metadata management practices
• PMP, PMI-ACP, Certified ScrumMaster, or similar certifications (Databricks or Snowflake certifications a plus)
• Experience in regulated industries such as financial services or healthcare

What Success Looks Like

• Projects are delivered on time, within scope, and with measurable business outcomes

Stakeholders are engaged, informed, and confident in delivery progress

• Risks and dependencies are raised early and managed proactively
• Technical and business teams work with clear priorities and shared accountability
• Delivery practices get better with each project
