Job description

Technical Project Manager – Data Management (Agile Delivery Focus)

Contract: 6–12 months

Location: Dallas, TX (Hybrid – local candidates only)

We are seeking a hands‑on Technical Project Manager to lead execution of Data Management initiatives in a delivery‑focused role, not a program‑level position. The ideal candidate has recent experience managing Agile teams, owns day‑to‑day project execution, and is comfortable working closely with data teams, architects, and engineers. This is a high‑impact opportunity driving data transformation initiatives in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment, offering the chance to work closely with technical teams and leadership while benefiting from hybrid flexibility and strong team engagement.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a Project Manager (not program manager) with direct ownership of delivery
• 3+ years of recent Agile/Scrum experience in a hands‑on role (Scrum Master responsibilities required)
• Proven experience managing day‑to‑day execution, including:
  • Task tracking
  • Sprint execution
  • Resource coordination
  • Issue resolution
• Strong experience with Agile tools, especially:
  • Jira (required)
  • Confluence (required)
• Experience with project estimation, planning, and scheduling (must be clearly demonstrated)
• Ability to break down high‑level requirements into detailed work plans

Technical Requirements

• Experience working with data‑focused projects (Data Management, Data Warehousing, ETL, etc.)
• Strong understanding of SQL (must be able to work with data teams and understand queries)
• Familiarity with databases such as Oracle or similar platforms

What We’re NOT Looking For

• Program Managers overseeing portfolios without hands‑on execution
• PMs with primarily Waterfall experience
• Candidates without recent Agile delivery experience
• PMs who have not recently managed tasks, teams, and sprint execution directly

What You’ll Do

• Own end‑to‑end delivery of data‑focused projects, including planning, estimation, execution, and reporting
• Act as Scrum Master and Project Manager, leading:
  • Daily stand‑ups
  • Sprint planning
  • Backlog grooming
  • Sprint reviews and retrospectives
• Manage detailed project plans, including task breakdowns, dependencies, and resource assignments
• Drive accurate estimation and capacity planning with technical teams
• Track and manage work in Jira and Confluence (hands‑on, daily usage required)
• Identify and proactively resolve delivery risks, blockers, and dependencies
• Work closely with data engineers, architects, and business stakeholders to ensure solutions meet requirements
• Provide clear, concise reporting to leadership, including executive‑level updates
