Technical Project Manager (Hands-On, Delivery-Focused)

This is not a purely strategic or oversight role. The ideal candidate operates comfortably in the details—actively driving progress, removing blockers, and ensuring alignment across technical and business stakeholders.

This role works in partnership with a full-time ScrumMaster who facilitates Agile ceremonies. The Technical Project Manager owns delivery execution, scope management, and cross-team coordination.

Workstream Ownership

This role is responsible for the Ongoing Development workstream, which includes Sitecore platform enhancements, feature development, and backlog execution.

A separate workstream exists for platform integrations (Oracle, UKG, and other systems), supported by a dedicated Project Manager. While coordination across workstreams is required, this role maintains primary ownership of development delivery and backlog execution.
