Technical Project Manager

Position Summary Nexstar is seeking a technical project manager to coordinate and manage our data development roadmap, with a focus on creating a single governed data estate that will serve as the foundation for AI agent access to trusted, well‑structured data across the business. The role is located in Nexstar’s New York offices and drives execution across a large, multi‑phase data platform migration, from initial planning through full cutover and legacy retirement. Responsibilities Own the program plan and keep it current, including sequencing, dependencies, risks, and adjustments as priorities shift. Coordinate with technical leads and program managers from other departments, keeping priorities and deliverables aligned across multiple cross‑functional projects. Manage integration partner relationship, holding them to scope, timeline, and quality commitments. Coordinate across workstreams (migration, AI agent development, master data management, and others) and disciplines (data engineering, analytics engineering, agent development, BI). Maintain visibility across workstreams operating on independent cadences, and own escalation when drift, priority conflicts, or partner slippage need to be surfaced and resolved. Bridge business and technical teams by working credibly with data engineers on architecture decisions and with business stakeholders on priorities and trade‑offs. Keep data migration sequencing on track, ensuring source systems migrate in a priority order driven by business requirements, and adjust the sequence when priorities change. Triage incoming requests during the migration, assessing whether new work should be built in current systems or deferred to the new platform. Qualifications Demonstrated experience managing complex, multi‑workstream data platform programs. Strong facilitation and influencing skills, with the ability to drive alignment across teams. Prior experience managing large external implementation partners. Familiarity with modern data stack concepts: data governance, medallion architecture, semantic layers, master data management, AI/ML pipelines. Comfortable discussing data pipeline architecture, cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS), and modern data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake) at a technical level, and able to follow engineering conversations and ask the right questions across Python‑based pipelines, Databricks‑native jobs, and BI tools (Looker, Power BI). Media or advertising industry background is helpful. Salary and Benefits Salary range for this position is $80,000–$100,000. Nexstar offers a comprehensive benefits package to include medical, life, and short‑term disability insurance, worker’s compensation, and unemployment insurance, 401(k) retirement plan, paid holidays, paid vacation, paid sick time, employee assistance program, bereavement leave, jury duty service time off, military leave, and medical/maternity & family leave.
