We seek a proactive and driven Technical Project Manager who thrives in fast-paced, client-centric environments. This individual will play a key role in delivering impactful, data-driven solutions by leading cross-functional teams and ensuring project excellence from concept to completion.

Job Description

The Technical Project Manager will serve as the strategic lead and day-to-day point of accountability for our client engagements. This role is critical in ensuring seamless execution, managing risks, and fostering collaboration across teams. The ideal candidate is both a strategic thinker and a hands-on executor—able to navigate complexity, drive clarity, and exceed expectations.

A consultative mindset is key: you’ll be expected to work closely with stakeholders to understand their goals, translate business needs into actionable plans, and guide them through delivery with confidence and transparency.

You will:

• Lead end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-functional client projects with accountability for outcomes.
• Act as the primary liaison between clients and Blend360, ensuring expectations are clearly defined, managed, and exceeded.

• Scope and plan initiatives with internal teams, balancing delivery speed, quality, and client priorities.
• Provide day-to-day guidance and direction to project teams, removing roadblocks and maintaining momentum.
• Identify delivery risks early and develop mitigation strategies that protect timelines and outcomes.
• Champion a culture of ownership, proactivity, and continuous improvement.
• Apply industry-standard project management methodologies (Agile/SCRUM, Waterfall) to fit the needs of each engagement.
• Create and maintain project documentation including RACI, RAID, project plans, status, communication plans, etc.
• Build trusted relationships with client and internal stakeholders through a consultative approach: understanding needs, framing solutions, and ensuring alignment at every stage of the project lifecycle.

Qualifications

Required Skills:

• 6+ years of experience in technical project management or product delivery.
• Proven track record of leading projects from inception to completion with full ownership of outcomes.
• Strong client engagement skills: ability to build trust, navigate challenges, and communicate with impact.
• Comfortable operating with high levels of autonomy and accountability.
• Skilled in managing competing priorities, navigating ambiguity, and driving alignment across stakeholders.
• Collaborative mindset with a bias toward action and results.
• Experience with Agile/SCRUM, Waterfall, and hybrid delivery methodologies.
• Ability to travel to client sites when needed

Preferred Skills:

• Certifications such as SCRUM, PMP, or Certified AI Project Manager.
• Experience in data-focused projects (data governance, data engineering, data science, and/or BI).
