Senior Technical Project Manager

We are looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager to take end-to-end ownership of a large enterprise software project or two to three delivery streams within an established client account.

The ideal candidate combines a strong project management toolkit with genuine technical understanding. You may have started your career in software engineering, data, systems or another technical role before moving into project management. Experience in the manufacturing domain would be particularly valuable.

You will be responsible for delivering the agreed scope, timeline, budget, quality and margin. The typical setup includes two to three teams of approximately 15–20 people in total and an annual budget of EUR 1–3 million.

Requirements:

• At least 5 years of experience managing enterprise software delivery, including a minimum of 2 years leading projects of a comparable scale

• Proven end-to-end ownership of project scope, schedule, budget and delivery margin across both fixed-price and time-and-materials engagements

• Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle and delivery practices, supported by experience in actively improving processes rather than simply following them

• Experience delivering enterprise-scale solutions in at least one technology environment: cloud, .NET, Java or data engineering

• Experience contributing to bids and proposals, including effort estimates, delivery approaches and staffing plans

• Excellent English skills at C1 level

• Confidence in using AI tools to support day-to-day project management and delivery activities

• Flexibility to occasionally overlap with US working hours

Nice to have:

• Manufacturing background: MES, SCADA, Historian, LIMS, ERP

• Exposure to AI/ML delivery (predictive maintenance, computer vision, GenAI/RAG) as PM or PO

• Data/analytics projects

• Hands-on engineering background

Main responsibilities:

• Deliver projects in line with the agreed scope, budget, quality standards and target margin

• Lead project planning and proactively manage risks, issues and dependencies

• Own day-to-day communication with the client’s delivery stakeholders, escalating commercial matters to the Program Manager when needed

• Provide regular updates on delivery progress, budget utilisation and financial forecasts

• Support offer preparation by contributing project estimates, delivery models and key risk assumptions
