Summary

JOB DESCRIPTION

We are seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager to support our client on a portfolio of initiatives across business and technology teams. This role is ideal for a highly organized professional who enjoys facilitating collaboration, managing backlogs, and keeping projects moving forward in an Agile environment.

You will play a key role in coordinating work between business stakeholders, development teams, and reporting teams, maintain well-defined requirements, facilitate agile ceremonies and working sessions, and provide consistent status communications across multiple data and analytics products.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Manage end-to-end work intake and prioritization with business partners; translate requests into actionable backlog items.
  • Set up and maintain Jira backlogs, UAT logs, and related tracking artifacts; support light Jira administration (permissions, filters) and troubleshooting in partnership with the Jira support team.
  • Plan, schedule, and facilitate recurring project meetings and agile ceremonies; create agendas, keep discussions focused, and publish timely meeting notes and action items.
  • Drive requirement clarification through structured stakeholder discussions; document requirements directly in Jira and maintain Functional Requirements Specifications (FRS) for initiatives.
  • Identify risks, blockers, and dependencies; coordinate across teams to align on next steps and ensure delivery momentum.
  • Provide consistent stakeholder communications, including bi-weekly status reporting (e.g., status slide deck) and follow-up on open items in decision/action logs.
  • Support delivery for data and analytics solutions by coordinating between front-end reporting/tools and supporting databases (e.g., Power BI, Qlik, and related data models).
  • Promote agile best practices and help teams effectively use backlog, sprint, and UAT processes.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
  • At least 4 years of experience leading cross-functional technical projects and facilitating stakeholder discussions from intake through delivery.
  • Working knowledge of agile delivery practices (backlog management, sprints, UAT) and ability to coach teams on process.
  • Hands-on experience using Jira (creating/managing issues, workflows/statuses, boards, filters) and maintaining clear, actionable requirements.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including meeting facilitation, documentation, and status reporting to varied audiences.
  • Ability to manage multiple workstreams, track dependencies, and drive resolution of blockers and ambiguity.
  • Comfort working with data/analytics stakeholders and technical teams supporting databases and reporting solutions.
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States now and in the future. Verification of employment eligibility will be required at the time of hire. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
