  • Full Time
Technical Project Manager
Duration: 12+ Months (Possible extension)
Location: New York, NY 10286
Onsite Role (4 days a week)

Responsibilities:
  • Seeking an exceptional Senior Technical Project Manager to lead complex, high-visibility initiatives in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
  • You know how to keep projects moving even when timelines are tight, requirements are evolving, and pressure is high.
  • The ideal candidate thrives under pressure, brings structure to ambiguity, and has a proven track record of delivering against aggressive timelines with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
  • Lead end-to-end delivery of complex technical and data-focused projects across cross-functional teams.
  • Translate complex technical requirements into clear project plans, milestones, dependencies, risks, and measurable outcomes.
  • Drive execution against tight timelines in high-pressure environments with urgency, discipline, and composure.
  • Build and maintain detailed project plans while continuously assessing trade-offs, sequencing, and critical path.
  • Partner closely with engineering, product, data, architecture, and business teams to ensure alignment on scope, priorities, and delivery expectations.
  • Go beyond status tracking to actively identify blockers, surface risks early, and drive issue resolution to keep projects moving.
  • Ask the right questions to uncover gaps, assumptions, dependencies, and execution risks before they impact delivery.
  • Develop a strong understanding of the product, technical architecture, and business objectives so you can operate as a highly informed delivery leader.
  • Serve as a proactive communicator who keeps stakeholders informed, aligned, and focused on decisions and outcomes.
  • Push teams constructively and appropriately — including developers and partner teams — to maintain momentum, improve accountability, and drive dates forward where possible.
  • Distinguish between critical requirements and lower-priority items, helping teams make smart decisions on what must happen now versus what can be deferred.
  • Facilitate working sessions, decision forums, and stakeholder discussions that move projects forward rather than simply report on them.
  • Monitor project health through clear metrics, milestones, RAID logs, and action-oriented governance.
  • Ensure execution quality across multiple simultaneous workstreams without losing sight of broader business impact.
Education/Experience:
  • 8–10 years of experience in technical project management, program management, or related delivery leadership roles.
  • Proven experience working in high-pressure environments with tight timelines, significant delivery expectations, and multiple stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated success managing data-focused projects, such as data platforms, reporting initiatives, integrations, migrations, pipelines, analytics, or related technical programs.
  • Strong ability to translate complex technical concepts and requirements into actionable plans, milestones, and measurable business outcomes.
  • Experience working directly with engineering, product, and technical teams in a way that goes beyond administrative coordination.
  • Strong executive presence and communication skills, with the ability to communicate clearly, directly, and proactively at all levels of the organization.
  • Excellent critical thinking and prioritization skills, including the ability to separate signal from noise and make thoughtful trade-off recommendations.
  • Strong risk management and problem-solving skills, with a track record of identifying issues early and driving them to resolution.
  • Demonstrated ability to build credibility with technical teams by understanding the work, asking informed questions, and driving productive decision-making.
  • Experience managing cross-functional dependencies and leading projects with ambiguity, changing requirements, and compressed timelines.
Preferred:
  • Experience managing projects involving modern data environments, data engineering, analytics platforms, APIs, or enterprise systems integrations.
  • Strong familiarity with Agile, Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid delivery models.
  • Experience using tools such as Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, Microsoft Project, or similar project delivery tools.
  • PMP, Scrum, or related project management certification.
  • Experience in environments where speed, accountability, and execution discipline are essential.
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field; advanced degree is a plus.
