TCG Digital is looking for Project Lead for Kolkata Location.

Justification for the vacancy

The Project Lead owns the full internal delivery lifecycle of one or more concurrent consulting engagements project and sprint management, technical delivery quality, governance, cost, and process compliance. This role does not own client-side communication; that is handled by the PM or account layer. The Project Lead manages the rest of the Project team and is accountable for what gets built, how well it is built, whether it is on time, and whether it is within budget.

6+ years (exceptional candidates: 3+ years) of delivery management experience in consulting or technology services, with demonstrable ownership of technical delivery quality, concurrent project management, and budget accountability. No degree requirement. Candidates must demonstrate concurrent project ownership, a budget they managed, and a technical quality problem they identified and resolved before it escalated.

Forward thinking is non-negotiable: candidates must describe a delivery risk or quality issue they caught and addressed before anyone asked them to.

Essential Skills:

- Has owned end-to-end delivery of a consulting or technology project from kick-off through go-live can walk through decisions, blockers, quality gates, and outcomes.
- Has managed 2 or more concurrent projects simultaneously can describe how prioritization, resource allocation, and conflict resolution were handled.
- Has tracked and managed a project budget: actuals vs. plan, burn rate, forecast to complete in any tool.
- Can run a full sprint cycle independently planning, grooming, review, retro and demonstrate how velocity was tracked and course-corrected.
- Has managed a technical team's delivery quality code reviews, architecture alignment checks, or NFR validation not just scheduled them.




- Can produce a delivery plan with critical path, resource allocation, and milestone dependencies independently, in any tool.
- Familiar with CMMI Level 3 practice requirements can list mandatory PM process outputs and explain their purpose and compliance criteria.
- Has owned a risk register with 10+ active items across one or more projects and can demonstrate how specific risks were tracked to resolution.

Experience Required:

6+ Years; for exceptional candidates, 3+ years of experience may be considered

Role & responsibilities:

- Own project planning across one or more concurrent engagements — scope baseline, WBS, milestones, resource plan, and sprint calendar.
- Run sprint ceremonies independently — planning, backlog grooming, sprint review, and retrospectives — and track velocity against delivery commitments.
- Track progress across all workstreams; identify and resolve slippage before it impacts milestones.
- Manage Project team allocation across engagements; maintain workload balance and delivery coverage.
- Own delivery quality standards across all technical workstreams — architecture alignment, code quality gates, NFR compliance, and performance benchmarks.
- Review and approve technical artifacts (design documents, data models, integration specs) for completeness and quality before development proceeds.
- Ensure QA and testing cycles are thorough and quality-verified before handoff to UAT — not just scheduled, but validated.




- Identify and resolve technical risks and quality gaps proactively, before they surface in UAT or production.
- Own all CMMI Level 3 or higher process compliance across planning, execution, monitoring, and closure phases.
- Maintain mandatory process artifacts: plans, risk logs, status reports, change logs, and meeting minutes.
- Run internal delivery governance — milestone reviews, delivery sign-offs, change control board.
- Participate in process audits; identify and report deviations; drive corrective actions to closure.
- Reinforce process discipline within the delivery team without impeding velocity.
- Own project budget tracking across one or more engagements: actuals vs. plan, burn rate, and forecast to complete.
- Manage resource allocation and cost per project; flag budget risks before they breach thresholds.
- Coordinate with delivery leadership on staffing, onboarding, and off-boarding across concurrent engagements.
- Own the risk and issue register across all assigned engagements — log, track, escalate, and close with urgency.
- Manage cross-project dependencies and resource conflicts.
- Surface blockers proactively; resolve without waiting for milestone slippage to force action

Other Positive-to-Have exposure:

- Oil & Gas: upstream, midstream, or downstream.
- Polymers, specialty chemicals, or petrochemicals.
- Energy trading or utilities.
- Materials manufacturing or industrial processing.
- PMP, PRINCE2, PMI-ACP, or SAFe certification.
- Exposure to SAP, Oracle, or enterprise platform delivery programs.
- Experience working in CMMI Level 3 or higher appraised organizations.
- Background in data, systems integration, or digital transformation programs.
- Prior experience as Scrum Master or Agile delivery lead.
