Job Description

Technical Project Manager/Lead – IT Delivery & Operations
3 month contract (possible extension)
Location: hybrid, 3 days per week onsite in Atlanta, GA

About the Role

The Technical Project Manager will serve as the bridge between business stakeholders, product teams, and IT, helping drive critical modernization and process improvement initiatives across the organization. Rather than focusing primarily on budgets and administrative project management, this individual will gather and refine requirements, analyze end-to-end workflows, identify gaps, and ensure projects move forward with complete and accurate business requirements.

The ideal candidate combines strong business analysis and stakeholder management skills with a technical foundation. This person will work closely with teams across Finance, Procurement, Operations, Product, and IT to understand current processes, connect missing pieces, and help translate business needs into effective technology solutions.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is naturally curious, enjoys solving process challenges, and can confidently work across both technical and non-technical teams. We welcome technical professionals, business analysts, product analysts, developers, QA professionals, and systems analysts who are looking to leverage their technical background in a more strategic, cross-functional role.

• Identify opportunities for automation, efficiency improvements, and AI-enabled process enhancements
• Document processes, decisions, requirements, and operational procedures to create sustainable knowledge transfer
• Help drive organizational change through strong communication, collaboration, and stakeholder engagement
