Job description

As a Technical Project Manager, you will own the delivery of software development and cloud infrastructure projects from kickoff through production. You will be embedded with engineering teams and client stakeholders, digging into technical tradeoffs, unblocking work, and owning outcomes not just timelines.

You'll translate ambiguous client requests into scoped, sequenced work; keep engineering and client expectations aligned; and surface risks early. You will be the person clients call when they want to know where something stands, and the person engineers rely on to clear the path in front of them.

You'll also help define how CCC uses AI in project management. We use AI tooling across the company and we're looking for someone who will actively build on that.
