About The Position

We are looking for a Technical Project Manager who can independently lead multiple technology projects, coordinate technical teams, and serve as a confident bridge between engineers and non-technical clients. This is a highly autonomous role. The ideal candidate is someone who can take ownership, make decisions, and drive projects forward without requiring extensive direction or handholding. You will work closely with technical teams and clients in the US, ensuring that scope, requirements, timelines, budgets, and delivery expectations remain clearly understood and aligned. Because this is an agency environment, you may work across multiple projects with varying timelines and priorities rather than managing one long-term product or project. The ability to quickly adapt, manage competing priorities, and confidently navigate changing client requirements are essential.

Demonstrated ownership and self-sufficiency in managing projects, resolving issues, and driving work forward.
Strong communication skills, particularly when working with clients and technical Teams.
Confidence communicating with US-based clients and the ability to remain firm and professional when defending project scope, timelines, or delivery expectations.
Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Experience coordinating and managing technical teams, including the ability to understand technical discussions and work effectively with engineers.
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines simultaneously.

Communicate confidently with US-based clients, including the ability to clearly explain project status, manage expectations, and address challenges.
Defend project scope and delivery expectations when necessary, confidently addressing scope changes, competing priorities, and client requests.
Provide clear direction and support to technical teams while ensuring engineers have the requirements and context needed to execute effectively.
Gather and clarify client requirements and work with the Technology Director to define and establish requirements for engineering teams.
Support product-related activities within projects, including requirements gathering and translating business needs into actionable requirements for engineers.
Manage project timelines, budgets, deliverables, risks, dependencies, and priorities across multiple engagements.
Proactively identify issues and blockers and determine appropriate solutions without relying heavily on senior leadership for day-to-day direction.
