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.
- 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.
- 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.
