• Manage Dependencies & Critical Paths: Proactively map and manage project dependencies across back-end functions, data systems, and hardware components to maintain project momentum.
• Risk Mitigation & Issue Tracking: Identify, track, and mitigate project risks before they impact delivery timelines, working closely with VP of Technology, Tech Leads to clear critical path blockers.
• Support Technical Compliance: Assist with the technical aspects of audits and assisting with technical input to the legal team, serving as an engineering representative to ensure our systems maintain compliance.
• Act as a Technical Ambassador: Serve as the technical project expert for commercial teams and external partners, translating project scope and system realities into clear business updates and vetting external requirements.

The Successful Candidate Will Have/Be

• Technical Core: A strong technical foundation ideally with past hands‑on experience in back-end development, data engineering, systems architecture, or infrastructure, allowing you to confidently understand project scope and discuss the stack with engineers and external partners.
• Project Management Expertise: A proven track record of managing complex, cross‑functional technical projects from inception to completion. You are a master of tracking milestones, managing critical paths, and balancing constraints.To be successful in this role, you will know how to protect teams from noise and process overhead, and ensure that they are only involved in strictly necessary process changes.
• Soft Skills & Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication and negotiation skills. You possess sharp commercial savvy and the confidence to manage project expectations, handle high‑level communication, and drive consensus between technical and non‑technical stakeholders. You excel at managing competing priorities and possess the diplomacy to align realistic expectations and set clear boundaries when necessary.
• Experience From/Industry: 4+ years of technical project or program management experience in a fast‑paced technology company, software house, or high‑growth SaaS environment. Experience handling third‑party integrations or external client‑facing project delivery is highly valued.
