Job Description

As a Technical Project Manager, you will serve as the strategic connective tissue between product strategy and cross-functional execution. This is a principal-level, hands-on leadership role. You are accountable for the delivery of the organization’s most complex, high-revenue initiatives - not for reporting on them - and you carry the dates yourself.
You will guide a team responsible for architecting the Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC) framework and providing the operational infrastructure required to scale. You will be responsible for the integrity of the delivery process - managing the interdependencies between Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Commercial teams. You ensure that the company’s most significant investments are delivered with transparency, alignment, and high impact.
Greenfield initiatives are where this role earns its keep. Current programs receive dedicated senior ownership rather than shared program management capacity borrowed across unrelated engineering projects. On these builds you set the plan, hold the commitments,



remove blockers directly where you can, and escalate with a recommendation and a recovery path where you cannot.
Your success in this role will be measured by the increased velocity, predictability, and transparency of our most critical product investments.
- Significant increase in the percentage of top initiatives delivered on time and within scope.
- Reduction in the "administrative tax" on Product Managers, as measured by time reclaimed from manual reporting and tool maintenance.
- Improved internal satisfaction scores from Engineering, Data Science, and Commercial leaders regarding the clarity and reliability of the delivery pipeline.
- Greenfield initiatives hitting their committed launch dates, with this role personally accountable for those commitments.
