About this role
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
