You will coordinate TICRA Tools software releases and manage major external projects, including offset programmes and larger ESA activities, from initial planning through delivery and closure. Maintaining an integrated overview of scope, timelines, budgets, risks, dependencies, and specialist capacity, you will translate product priorities and contractual commitments into realistic plans with clear milestones, responsibilities, and reporting. Working closely with Product Managers, technical leads, commercial functions, and other key stakeholders, you will create clarity around ownership and release readiness, drive timely decisions, and elevate when scope, resources, and timelines do not align. You will also strengthen TICRA's project and release practices through pragmatic structures, transparent reporting, and effective use of tools such as Jira and TimeLog, contributing to more predictable delivery.
