Technical Project Manager

Technical Project ManagerBlack Swift's aircraft fly straight into Category 5 hurricanes to gather data nobody else can get. As Technical Project Manager, you're the calm at the center of that storm, keeping schedules, teams, and priorities moving smoothlyBlack Swift Technologies builds unmanned aircraft systems for the most demanding flight environments on Earth. Founded in 2011 in Boulder, Colorado, and born out of research flying into tornadic supercell thunderstorms, BST designs its aircraft, avionics, autonomy software, payloads, and ground control systems entirely in house. That level of vertical integration lets a small, senior team field capabilities most organizations only prototype.At the core of every aircraft is SwiftCore, our flight management system developed from the ground up rather than assembled around an off the shelf autopilot. Owning the entire stack is why our systems survive conditions that ground everyone else, and why our engineers can innovate at any layer of the aircraft.BST is now scaling from a research driven engineering firm into a production supplier of autonomous aircraft for environmental sensing and defense missions, expanding our platform family with the S3, building toward NDAA compliant sourcing and Blue UAS listing, and growing rapidly with the backing of our strategic partner KrateoSky.What You Will DoAs Black Swift's first Technical Project Manager, you'll build and run the program management function from scratch, owning execution across multiple concurrent hardware and software efforts from kickoff through closeout. Partnering closely with the CTO and technical leads, you'll translate high-level roadmap objectives into structured epics, stories, tasks, dependencies, and review cadences that keep teams aligned and moving, while driving status reporting, certification and flight-readiness coordination, and clear communication across the board.Who You AreThe ideal candidate is a player-coach who thrives on owning outcomes in small company or startup environments, with a track record of full-cycle project delivery. You bring formal Agile training paired with the judgment to introduce it thoughtfully to a team encountering it for the first time. Working with engineers on technical tradeoffs feels as natural as reporting status to a customer. You have high EQ, competence that speaks for itself, and a bias toward practical execution over rigid process.Benefits100% paid healthcare benefits,401(k)Flexible / Unlimited PTOFree Eldora ski pass, plus flexible mornings on 6"+ powder days Creative Alignments
