We’re looking for a capable and delivery-focused Technical Project Manager to lead projects across our core tech stack, which includes .NET/C#, Shopify, and Microsoft Azure. You’ll take ownership of key initiatives—from scoping through to delivery—working closely with internal stakeholders and external development partners. The role is ideal for someone who understands how to get things done in a tech-driven environment, with enough technical knowledge to manage timelines, challenge assumptions, and make sure work is progressing as expected.

Oversee integrations between our Shopify storefront and internal systems built in .NET/C#

Track project progress, flag risks early, and maintain clear documentation and reporting

Improve internal delivery processes and ensure all technical projects are delivered with rigour and accountability

Qualifications

Required Experience

Proven experience in a Technical Project Manager or Delivery Lead role

Strong working knowledge of .NET/C# development environments (you don’t need to code, but must understand how it works)

Experience with Microsoft Azure, particularly around database architecture, cloud hosting, and app deployment

Familiarity with Shopify (platform workflows, APIs, app integrations)

Experience working with external development teams, agencies, or contractors

Hands-on project management experience using tools like Jira, Asana, Trello, or Azure DevOps

Excellent communication skills—confident managing developers and reporting to non-technical stakeholders
