Technical Project Manager

Position:
Technical Project Manager

Company:
Blue Ops

Organizational Alignment:
Transformation & Delivery for the Analytics Practice

Location:

Minneapolis, MN

Blue Ops is a professional services firm operating at the intersection of finance, data, technology, and private equity. We partner with middle-market private equity firms, investment banks, and portfolio companies to solve complex business challenges.

Across our core practices (Finance & Accounting Operations, Data Analytics, M&A Analytics, Quality of Earnings, and Transformation & Delivery), we combine technical expertise with hands-on execution to help clients make confident investment decisions, improve business performance, navigate transactions, and create lasting enterprise value.

Our clients operate in high-stakes environments where accuracy, speed, and execution matter.

We're not consultants who simply assess problems and deliver recommendations. We're hands-on problem solvers who get into the details, work alongside our clients, and take ownership of delivering tangible outcomes.

We combine the sophistication of a larger consulting firm with the agility, accountability, and personal investment of a specialized team. Our people are curious, collaborative, adaptable, and motivated by solving challenging problems and making a meaningful impact.

We are seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager to lead project delivery within our Data Analytics projects. At its core, this role is focused on delivering complex, customized data, analytics, and technology solutions for our clients. You'll work alongside Solution Architects, Data Visualization Consultants, and client stakeholders to turn business objectives into actionable project plans, coordinate execution, and ensure projects are delivered successfully.

Our Data Analytics engagements are rarely one-size-fits-all. They incorporate evolving business requirements, technical dependencies, multiple stakeholders, and tight timelines. You'll bring structure and clarity to that complexity, helping teams stay aligned, anticipate challenges, manage scope and budgets, and make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle.

You'll be involved early in the engagement, partnering with business development and practice leadership to shape project scope, timelines, resource plans, and delivery expectations. From pre-sale through completion, you'll own the project management process, including planning, coordination, progress tracking, risk management, stakeholder communication, and change control.

Success in this role requires more than maintaining a project plan. We're looking for someone who understands technical delivery well enough to ask the right questions, recognize dependencies, challenge assumptions, and help teams navigate ambiguity. You don't need to be the person building the technical solution, but you do need to understand how technical teams work and what it takes to deliver their work successfully.

Just as importantly, you'll be a trusted partner to our consulting teams and clients. You'll lead through relationships, sound judgment, earned trust, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and bring the right amount of structure without unnecessary process or rigidity. You’ll take a consultative approach and leverage your executive presence to manage conflicts, uncertainty or difference of opinion to build clarity and alignment across team members and stakeholders throughout the engagement.

As one of the first members of our emerging Transformation & Change Consulting capability that serves across our core service offerings, you'll also help shape how we deliver projects across Blue Ops, establishing practical approaches and standards that improve the experience for our clients and consultants.
