IT Project Manager - Data & Platform Delivery

Duration: 12-months

Description: Data & Platform Delivery

We are seeking a Senior Technical Project Manager (TPM) to support a single, highly versatile team that delivers work across multiple products, domains, and data initiatives. This team does not focus on one dedicated product; instead, it supports a broad range of efforts including data products, platform enhancements, integrations, and operational work.

The Senior TPM plays a critical role in bringing structure, predictability, and transparency to a dynamic environment. This role owns work intake, planning, forecasting, dependency management, risk mitigation, and stakeholder communications, while partnering closely with Product Owners and Technical Leads to support Agile execution. The ideal candidate is experienced working with technical teams, comfortable operating amid changing priorities, and able to communicate clearly with both technical and non technical stakeholders.

• Own and manage the work intake process for the team across multiple areas and products

• Participate in Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, stand ups, reviews, and retrospectives
• Support the team’s Agile execution by helping track commitments, dependencies, and progress
• Partner with Product Owners and Technical Leads to ensure work is ready to execute
