As one of our Technical Project Managers, you will:

• Manage project changes, assess impacts, and implement mitigation strategies to minimize delays and risks.
• Communicate project progress regularly to customers and internal stakeholders through status reports, governance meetings, and executive updates.
• Identify, assess, document, mitigate, and elevate risks when required to ensure successful project delivery.
• Partner closely with architects, developers, and technical customer stakeholders to translate business requirements into user stories and implementation decisions that maximize customer value.

Here is what will qualify you for the role:

• At least 7 years of experience gathering requirements, producing technical documentation, and coordinating quality assurance activities.
• At least 3 years of experience managing large-scale information technology implementation projects.
• Strong understanding of the technical challenges associated with implementing cloud-based software solutions and web applications.

• Knowledge of enterprise search, indexing technologies, Salesforce ecosystems, or professional services automation tools such as Certinia (formerly FinancialForce) or Mavenlink.
