Technical Project Manager (USA)
About The Position
DroneShield is seeking a Technical Project Manager to lead the execution of complex customer deployments, demonstrations, and operational delivery efforts, while supporting larger technical programs under the direction of the Technical Program Manager. This role is execution-focused with real ownership, responsible for driving planning, coordination, and execution across multiple concurrent efforts at varying levels of maturity. Many activities do not arrive as fully defined projects, and priorities can evolve based on customer requirements, operational constraints, and resource availability. Success is achieved through judgment, coordination, and action, not through rigid process alone. Working across global teams, this role acts as the central coordination point between Sales, Field Service Engineers (FSEs), Engineering, Logistics, and Operations to ensure delivery outcomes are achieved in dynamic, high-stakes environments. This role is well suited to someone who enjoys ownership, ambiguity, and practical problem-solving; builds strong working relationships across technical, operational, and commercial teams; is comfortable working directly with senior leadership and operating with high visibility; and actively resolves issues and keeps delivery moving. This role will energize candidates who value ownership, variety, and real operational impact. It will not suit those seeking predictability or tightly bounded projects.
Requirements
- Own and drive project outcomes through live deployments, demonstrations, and customer engagements.
- Drive day-to-day execution, tracking progress against milestones and ensuring work stays on schedule and aligned to objectives.
