Technical Project Manager

Job Title: 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.
