Technical Project Manager, level 3

Technical Project Manager

Looking for a strong Technical Project Manager who has hands on experience in owning planning and execution of complex, cross-functional initiatives across Product and Engineering. This person will be working with cross functional teams and communicate clearly and proactively with both technical and non-technical audiences.

EST hours preferred Must Have for this role:

• We are looking for some with hands on experience in continuously validating that execution aligns to program intent.
• Someone who excels at driving alignment, clarity, and execution across complex, cross-functional initiatives.
• Someone who can establish and maintain clear plans, timelines, and delivery milestones.
• Strong experience in Jira, confluence
• Hands-on experience working within Agile teams
• Looking for 3-7 years of experience

What You'll Do

• This role is not about writing code, it's about ensuring that teams deliver the right work, at the right time, in the right way.
• You will partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Program Leadership to translate priorities into execution, proactively manage risks and dependencies, and ensure teams are delivering against intended outcomes.
• Drive End-to-End Delivery
• Own planning and execution of complex, cross-functional initiatives across Product and Engineering
• Translate business and program priorities into clear, actionable plans for teams
• Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs—and drive resolution
• Ensure Alignment Between Strategy and Execution
• Partner with Program Managers, Technical Product Managers, and Engineering to ensure teams are working on the highest-priority outcomes
• Continuously validate that execution aligns to program intent, not just task completion
• Drive clarity when priorities shift or ambiguity arises
• Lead Execution with Structure and Rigor
• Establish and maintain clear plans, timelines, and delivery milestones
• Track progress against outcomes, not just activities
• Identify and remove blockers to keep teams moving efficiently
• Facilitate Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Act as the connective tissue between Product, Engineering, and Program leadership
• Ensure stakeholders are aligned on priorities, timelines, and tradeoffs
• Communicate clearly and proactively with both technical and non-technical audiences
• Continuously Improve How Teams Deliver
• Identify gaps in planning, execution, or communication and drive improvements
• Strengthen team operating rhythms (planning, retrospectives, status reporting)
• Help teams become more predictable, efficient, and outcome-focused
• Technical Context
• Comfortable working with engineering teams and understanding technical concepts (APIs, systems, dependencies, etc.)
• Able to translate technical complexity into clear execution plans
• Partners with engineering, not replacing engineering judgment

What We're Looking For

• Strong project management fundamentals: planning, prioritization, risk management, and execution
• Demonstrated ability to drive complex initiatives across multiple teams
• Experience working in software or technical environments with engineering teams
• Strong understanding of Agile delivery practices and team operating rhythms
• Ability to operate in ambiguity and bring structure where none exists
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Proven ability to proactively identify and resolve delivery risks
• 3-7+ years of experience in project or program management roles, with demonstrated ownership of complex initiatives

Nice to Have

• Experience in SaaS or platform-based product environments
• Hands-on experience working within Agile teams (Scrum, Kanban, or similar)
• Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Smartsheet

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• Takes ownership of outcomes, not just tasks
• Proactively identifies and resolves risks and misalignment
• Ensures teams are executing against the right priorities
• Brings structure and clarity to ambiguous situations
• Communicates clearly and drives alignment across stakeholders
