Description

We are looking for a Technical Project Manager to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives that support product delivery and operational goals in Alexandria, Virginia. This role will guide project execution from planning through completion, ensuring teams stay aligned on priorities, timelines, and measurable outcomes.

Run consistent delivery routines such as team check-ins, planning meetings, working sessions, and stakeholder reviews while documenting decisions and follow-up actions clearly.
Align internal departments and third-party partners on staffing, sequencing, and delivery expectations to keep work progressing realistically and efficiently.
Monitor project health by identifying risks, schedule pressures, and resource constraints early, then escalate issues with practical recommendations and trade-off options.
Provide portfolio-level reporting that connects active initiatives to broader technology priorities and business goals.
Collaborate with leadership to establish success measures, monitor project KPIs, and support team progress against defined OKRs.
Develop dashboards and recurring status reports that give stakeholders clear visibility into milestones, blockers, progress, and final results.
Support the intake and prioritization of new work by clarifying requirements, defining scope, and confirming measurable success criteria.
Drive process improvement by introducing consistent templates, reporting standards, and delivery practices across Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid project environments.
