As a Technical Project Manager, your first engagement will include ownership of a workstream inside a larger, mid-stream program, picking up a Fee Management System that already has an MVP in flight and driving it through rollout and V2 definition.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own the day-to-day management of the Fee Management System workstream within the broader program
• Coordinate across teams to keep the MVP rollout on track and moving toward production
• Drive definition and scoping for V2, working with stakeholders to nail down requirements
• Apply tactical analysis to understand the technical details of the work, not just the schedule
• Manage the day-to-day tracking of a workstream inside a larger program
• Surface risks and blockers early and work with technical leads to resolve them
• Keep stakeholders aligned on status, decisions, and tradeoffs throughout rollout and V2 planning
• Report progress clearly to program leadership and the client

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Experience managing a workstream or project within a larger, multi-team program
• Background in tactical or technical analysis a plus
• Comfort working in environments where an MVP is live and the focus is shifting to rollout and next-phase definition
• Experience scaling a team, including planning for and onboarding new engineers
• Familiarity with AWS is a plus
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including the ability to translate technical detail for non-technical audiences
• Comfortable working on fixed-timeline engagements with a defined integration deadline
• A clear communicator who can coordinate across technical and business teams without losing precision
