About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Agile Project Manager, Data Engineering to join the PMO in Austin, TX. This role is for someone who can lead large, complex data engineering and analytics initiatives while helping teams continue to mature toward more agile, transparent, and iterative ways of working. You understand scope, schedule, budget, risks, vendors, governance, and executive reporting, and possess data platform literacy to scope programs accurately and have credible conversations with engineers.
Responsibilities
- Proactively solve problems by working with data engineering teams, sponsors, and technical leads to keep work moving, remove blockers, escalate risks, and drive the best possible outcome for the business.
- Lead through both traditional and agile delivery methods, knowing when a project needs a clear plan, timeline, budget, RAID log, and governance rhythm, or when a team needs lighter agile planning, backlog refinement, Kanban flow, sprint routines, or iterative delivery checkpoints.
- Lead large, high-complexity data engineering and analytics initiatives from initiation through delivery, managing the integration of enterprise systems and cloud technologies at a program level.
- Coordinate work across multiple technical teams, business groups, vendors, and stakeholders, identifying dependencies, clarifying ownership, securing commitments, and helping teams understand how their work connects to larger strategic goals.
- Partner with Product Owners to prioritize the backlog and help teams improve visibility, planning, and delivery health without adding unnecessary process, supporting backlog hygiene, intake practices, and practical delivery metrics.
- Simplify where possible, protect engineering time, and use meetings, reporting, and documentation to help the team or stakeholders make better decisions.
- Communicate complex data pipelines and delivery details clearly to engineers, managers, sponsors, Steering Committees, and senior leadership based on the target audience.
- Proactively identify potential risks across complex, multi-team data programs, surface risks early, drive mitigation plans, maintain clear decision records, and help stakeholders understand trade-offs.
- Act as a trusted partner to sponsors, technical leads, engineering managers, business partners, and PMO leadership, managing competing demands and facilitating hard trade-off decisions.
- Understand financial and operational realities of enterprise technology delivery, managing headcount allocation, tracking budget variances, and supporting vendor coordination.
- Work with data teams across areas such as cloud platforms (e.g., AWS), data pipelines, warehouses, and BI tools, understanding the data stack to scope programs accurately, evaluate plan realism, and have credible conversations with engineers.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Business, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is preferred. Relevant experience may be considered in place of a degree.
- Minimum of 7 years of project or program management experience, with at least 4-5 years specifically in a data engineering, data management, or analytics environment.
- Data platform literacy — understanding of the data stack (cloud platforms like AWS or equivalent, data pipelines, warehouses, BI tools, etc.) to successfully manage data-centric projects.
- Proven experience leading large, complex, cross-functional projects with multiple teams, senior stakeholders, technical dependencies, and high business visibility.
- Strong project management foundation, including scope, schedule, budget, risk management (hands-on experience with RAID logs), issue management, dependency tracking, and stakeholder communications.
- Practical understanding of agile delivery methods, including Scrum, Kanban, Lean, backlog management, sprint or iteration planning, retrospectives, team metrics, and continuous improvement practices.
- Program management tooling — proficiency in Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, or similar, with experience managing portfolio-level dependency tracking and documentation.
- Strong ability to partner with sponsors and technical leads, navigate ambiguity, manage difficult stakeholders, resolve conflict, and drive decisions without overstepping technical ownership.
- Experience with organizational change management, communication planning, implementation coordination, production readiness, and operational handoffs.
- PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, PSM, SAFe, or similar certification is a plus, but hands-on delivery experience, technical credibility, business judgment, and strong communication are most important.
