About the Role
We're seeking a Technical Project Manager (TPM) to lead day-to-day delivery on our most complex implementations. This new role is crucial for strengthening our delivery capabilities in environments with multiple stakeholders, deep integrations, and custom development work, requiring a blend of extreme project management rigor and technical depth.
Responsibilities
- Lead the delivery plan, timeline, milestones, and execution for complex implementations.
- Convert contracts and statements of work into sequenced plans with mapped dependencies, named risks, and clear owners.
- Escalate major scope, timeline, or technical decisions to leadership with clear recommendations.
- Lead the technical design and scoping process, including integration scope, data flows, SSO/IAM, security, and API contracts.
- Bring options and tradeoffs to leadership for architecture and product direction decisions.
- Design and manage the governance model, including steering committees, working groups, and executive updates.
- Keep executive stakeholders informed on progress, risks, and decisions needed.
- Coordinate work across internal teams, customer teams, and third-party partners.
- Surface risks and dependencies proactively.
- Run a disciplined change-control process for scope, timeline, and budget.
- Bring rigor to planning, tracking, and documenting work (RAID logs, decision logs, etc.).
- Set the standard for well-run professional services engagements.
- Build customer confidence and credibility through transparent communication.
- Contribute to building the professional services function and developing a repeatable delivery motion.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in complex, cross-functional technology implementations.
- At least 3 years in a leadership role with ownership of scope, timeline, and delivery outcomes.
- Real technical depth: ability to read API specs, reason about integration patterns, understand SSO/IAM and data-pipeline tradeoffs, and engage in substantive technical conversations.
- Extreme project management rigor: a system for planning, tracking, and communicating, supported by artifacts like milestone plans and RAID logs.
- Demonstrated experience in multi-stakeholder environments (customers, internal teams, third-party partners).
- Executive-level stakeholder management experience up to C-suite or agency leadership.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- High agency and comfort with ambiguity; willingness to help define the role and its processes.
- Direct experience delivering technology implementations to state or federal government agencies (preferred).
- Familiarity with WIOA, RESEA, TAA, or other federal workforce funding programs (preferred).
- Experience managing systems integrators or sub-contractors (preferred).
- Working knowledge of typical enterprise integration surfaces (SSO, IAM, APIs, data pipelines, case management/CRM systems) (preferred).
- PMP, PgMP, or equivalent formal program management credential (nice to have).
