Technical Project Manager

Role Title: Senior Technical Project Manager (Contract)

Location: Remote (US-based); must primarily work standard Eastern Time business hours

Engagement: Full-time (contract) Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Technical Project Manager to lead multiple complex, cross-functional initiatives across our technology organization. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, security/operations, and business stakeholders- owning project structure, driving delivery, and ensuring alignment from strategy through execution. The ideal candidate is senior-level (10+ years) and has a proven track record of delivering large-scale, technically complex projects in environments where priorities shift, dependencies are real, and execution rigor matters. You should be comfortable operating with autonomy, influencing at all levels, and providing clear, executive-ready visibility into progress, risks, and tradeoffs. This role is fully remote, but you must be available to work Eastern Time office hours to collaborate with core teams.

Key Responsibilities Project Leadership & Delivery

• Own end-to-end delivery of multiple concurrent technical projects, from intake and scoping through launch, stabilization, and post-launch outcomes.


• Establish and maintain project operating structures: roadmaps, integrated plans, milestones, critical path, dependencies, resourcing assumptions, and success metrics.


• Drive execution against outcomes-anticipating tradeoffs and actively managing scope, timeline, and risk to deliver measurable results.


• Identify and manage cross-team and cross-system dependencies, surfacing constraints early and driving resolution with clear options and recommendations. Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Management


• Partner with engineering leaders, architects, product, operations, and business stakeholders to align objectives, sequencing, priorities, and delivery timelines.


• Lead high-impact forums (steering, technical working sessions, stakeholder reviews): set agendas, drive decisions, document outcomes, and ensure follow through.


• Provide crisp, accurate communication tailored to the audience-translating complex technical work into clear, decision-oriented updates for leadership. Execution Excellence


• Implement a lightweight, durable execution rhythm (cadences, reporting, decision logs, RAID) that improves throughput without adding bureaucracy.


• Track progress against milestones, KPIs, and delivery metrics; proactively course correct when risks emerge.


• Create repeatable processes and templates that raise the bar for delivery maturity across teams (e.g., intake, planning, launch readiness, lessons learned).

Technical & Operational Understanding

• Work closely with engineering and architecture to understand system design, constraints, sequencing, integration points, and operational impacts.


• Ensure requirements are clear, testable, and tied to business outcomes; drive alignment on acceptance criteria and "definition of done."


• Coordinate cross-functional readiness: release planning, cutover activities, stakeholder communications, operational handoffs, and vendor coordination when applicable.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years in technology delivery, with 7+ years in Technical Project Management / Technical Project Management (or equivalent role) in a software/technology environment.


• Demonstrated success delivering complex, cross-functional, multi-workstream projects (e.g., platform modernization, security/identity initiatives, enterprise integrations, large-scale rollouts).


• Expert-level project fundamentals: planning, dependency management, risk/issue management, change control, executive communication, and delivery governance.


• Strong working knowledge of Agile and hybrid delivery approaches; ability to flex the approach to fit the project and teams.


• Deep comfort partnering with engineers-able to engage on architecture and technical tradeoffs without needing to be the implementer
  Exceptional written and verbal communication; able to drive alignment, defuse ambiguity, and move decisions forward.


• Proven ability to juggle multiple initiatives and stakeholders while maintaining clarity, structure, and predictable execution.


• Must be able to work core Eastern Time business hours.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience leveraging Jira and Confluence to manage complex technical projects, dependencies, and documentation at scale.


• Experience in enterprise technology environments (financial services a plus) with high standards for reliability, security, and auditability.


• Background delivering projects involving cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform), data/analytics, security/identity, infrastructure modernization, or enterprise application ecosystems.


• Experience coordinating complex work with third-party vendors, integration partners, and managed service providers.


• Experience operating within or partnering closely with a PMO / centralized project function


• Experience producing executive-level project reporting (OKRs, KPIs, roadmaps, and risk summaries) for senior leadership and steering committees.

Working Style & Competencies

• Senior, calm operator: you bring clarity and momentum in ambiguity, and you're trusted in high-stakes situations.


• Executive-ready facilitator: you run meetings that drive outcomes, not updates- tight agendas, clear decisions, strong follow-through.


• Ownership mindset: you don't just track work-you drive it, escalating with context and options when needed.
  Collaborative and low-ego; able to influence across teams without formal authority and build strong partnerships with engineering leadership.
  * High bar for operational excellence: disciplined about structure, documentation, and repeatable execution-without unnecessary overhead
