Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced
Technical Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex software development initiatives while serving as a key liaison between Product Management and Engineering teams.
The ideal candidate brings a strong technical understanding of modern application development, including microservices architecture, .NET technologies, APIs, and enterprise software systems, combined with exceptional project management, stakeholder engagement, and delivery oversight skills.
This role requires someone who can
bridge the gap between Product and Engineering, advocate for business and product priorities, and hold technical teams accountable for their commitments. The successful candidate will be technically proficient without being overly focused on engineering implementation, maintaining an objective perspective on delivery expectations, business priorities, scope, and timelines.
Key ResponsibilitiesTechnical Project Management & Delivery- Own end-to-end project planning, coordination, execution, and delivery of software development initiatives across multiple engineering teams.
- Develop and maintain detailed project plans, timelines, milestones, resource requirements, and delivery commitments.
- Track progress against agreed-upon deliverables, proactively identifying risks, blockers, and potential delays.
- Manage cross-team dependencies, particularly within distributed systems and microservices-based environments.
- Ensure engineering teams are accountable for delivery commitments, timelines, and quality expectations.
- Identify and escalate delivery challenges early, driving actionable resolution plans rather than simply reporting status.
- Manage scope changes, competing priorities, and evolving requirements while minimizing disruption to delivery schedules.
Product Advocacy & Stakeholder Alignment- Serve as a trusted partner to Product Management, ensuring that product priorities, business objectives, and customer needs remain central to technical delivery decisions.
- Act as a bridge between Product and Engineering, facilitating transparent communication and alignment on requirements, priorities, and expectations.
- Ensure proposed technical changes, architectural decisions, and delivery trade-offs are appropriately reviewed with Product stakeholders when they affect functionality, timelines, or business outcomes.
- Challenge assumptions and push back constructively when engineering recommendations conflict with product priorities or established commitments.
- Maintain an objective, business-oriented perspective rather than defaulting to engineering-driven solutions.
- Facilitate discussions around scope, feasibility, prioritization, and delivery trade-offs to drive informed decisions.
- Ensure Product stakeholders have clear visibility into delivery progress, risks, dependencies, and potential impacts.
Technical Coordination & Engineering Collaboration- Leverage a working understanding of .NET, microservices, APIs, and modern application architectures to effectively coordinate technical initiatives.
- Collaborate with engineering leads and architects to understand technical requirements, integration points, dependencies, and implementation challenges.
- Evaluate technical explanations and delivery estimates critically, asking informed questions to validate assumptions and commitments.
- Coordinate development activities across teams responsible for interconnected services and applications.
- Facilitate technical discussions without assuming responsibility for hands-on development or architectural decisions.
- Ensure engineering teams proactively communicate changes that could impact upstream or downstream systems, delivery timelines, or product functionality.
- Work with technical leads to establish realistic delivery plans while maintaining appropriate accountability for execution.
Governance, Risk & Communication- Establish clear delivery expectations, ownership, milestones, and measurable success criteria.
- Lead project status meetings, dependency reviews, risk assessments, and stakeholder updates.
- Monitor scope, schedule, resource constraints, and technical dependencies throughout the project lifecycle.
- Drive timely decisions and escalations when delivery commitments are at risk.
- Maintain accurate project documentation, decision logs, risk registers, and action-item tracking.
- Promote continuous improvement in delivery processes, cross-functional collaboration, and communication between Product and Engineering.
Required Qualifications- 7+ years of experience in technical project management, software delivery, or related technology leadership roles.
- Demonstrated success managing complex software development projects involving multiple teams, technical dependencies, and competing stakeholder priorities.
- Strong understanding of modern software development concepts, including:
- .NET / C# application environments
- Microservices architecture
- RESTful APIs
