Senior Technical Project Manager

Appfire is looking for a Senior Technical Project Manager to operate at the intersection of business and technology. You will lead enterprise technical initiatives alongside business, engineers, and/or technical ensuring structured execution, strong stakeholder alignment, and high-quality decision-making.

You’ll support global initiatives across AMER, EMEA, and APAC. This is a fully remote role within a distributed team. The position reports to a Senior Manager based in EMEA (Spain).

Because we operate across time zones, flexibility in working hours is required to support effective global collaboration.

Your everyday tasks will include:

• Drive complex initiatives across IT, Engineering, and enterprise business platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Workday, Atlassian products, and other operational systems).

• Lead and support a diverse range of initiatives, including OKR framework implementation, M&A integrations, enterprise system redesigns (e.g., Salesforce data model changes), rollout of new enterprise tools (e.g., NetSuite), and cross-system integrations to enable reliable source-of-truth reporting and automation.

• Partner closely with engineers, architects, and security teams during system implementations, integrations, and migrations.

• Facilitate structured discussions and ensure alignment between business objectives and technical decisions.

• Translate business goals into clear delivery plans with defined scope, risks, milestones, and decision points.

• Provide clear, outcome-focused reporting tailored to different stakeholders.

• Enable delivery aligned to sponsor expectations, balancing scope, timeline, and value.

• Identify risks early, surface trade-offs, and drive resolution with accountability.

• Apply PMO standards where they add clarity, structure, and value.

• Enforce consistent work management standards for tracking and reporting, adjusting the level of detail based on project complexity.

• Improve templates, reporting practices, and ways of working.

• Actively dogfood Appfire products and provide structured feedback to Product teams.

• Proactively identify opportunities to innovate within the PMO by leveraging AI and automation tools (e.g., Slack integrations, workflow automations, AI-assisted reporting) to elevate delivery quality and efficiency.

• Contribute to our PM Community of Practice, sharing best practices and strengthening PMO engagement.

Skills and experience you'll need to succeed:

• 5+ years leading complex, enterprise-wide technical initiatives end-to-end, spanning multiple functions, systems, and stakeholder groups.

• Technical fluency to engage meaningfully with engineers, architects, and security teams. You can navigate discussions on integrations, infrastructure decisions, data migrations, and security trade-offs—not as the technical owner, but as a facilitator who asks the right questions and drives clarity.

• Demonstrated experience applying AI and automation within the Project Management domain to elevate delivery quality, reporting, and workflow efficiency. You actively integrate AI tools into your daily ways of working.

• You leverage AI to accelerate personal learning, explore new domains, and continuously expand your technical and operational knowledge.

• Comfortable challenging assumptions, surfacing risks, and ensuring technical decisions align with business objectives.

• Able to translate effectively between technical and non-technical audiences.

• Experience working across global, multi-timezone teams in a remote environment.

• Strong execution discipline with proactive risk management.

• Ability to simplify complexity and bring structure to ambiguity.

• Comfortable influencing without formal authority.

• Able to adapt communication to different audiences, anticipate stakeholder reactions, and drive alignment across technical and business teams.

• Exposure to OKR-driven or outcome-based environments.

• Experience contributing to process improvements.

• Growth mindset and interest in improving how teams operate.
