Technical Project Manager

Supercharge Your Career as a Technical Project Manager at Technoidentity! At Technoidentity, we're a Data & AI product engineering company with over 15 years of expertise in building durable digital products, intelligent enterprise solutions, and scalable Data & AI platforms. As we continue expanding globally, it's the perfect time to join our team of tech innovators and make a lasting impact. What’s in it for You? We are looking for a seasoned, techno-functional Project Manager who can own end-to-end delivery for multiple projects while building and growing a high-performing team of 15–18 people. This is a hands-on project management role that blends three dimensions: delivery excellence (on-time, first-time-right, within scope and cost), customer partnership (building trusted relationships and delivering measurable business impact), and people leadership (developing, upskilling, and growing your team). The ideal candidate is equally comfortable in a technical design discussion, a customer QBR, and a career conversation with a team member. What Will You Be Doing? Key Responsibilities 1. Delivery Execution & Ownership • Own end-to-end delivery of projects/releases — on-time, first-time-right, and within the agreed cost, timeline, and scope. • Drive project and release planning, including work breakdown, estimation, resource planning, dependency mapping, and risk-adjusted scheduling. • Track and manage scope changes with disciplined change control; balance customer asks against commercial and timeline commitments. • Proactively identify delivery risks and drive mitigation before they become escalations. 2. Quality & Continuous Improvement • Define, track, and report quality metrics (defect density, leakage, first-time-right rate, SLA adherence, velocity/predictability). • Institutionalize first-time-right practices: reviews, definition of done, test coverage, and release readiness gates. • Drive continuous improvement through retrospectives, root-cause analysis, and measurable corrective actions carried into subsequent releases. 3. Customer & Stakeholder Management • Build and deepen relationships with customer stakeholders at working and leadership levels; act as a trusted delivery partner, not just a status reporter. • Own the cadence of customer communication — Weekly Status Reports (WSR), Monthly Business Reviews (MBR), and Quarterly Business Reviews (QBR) — with crisp, data-backed narratives on progress, risks, and value delivered. • Build deep business and domain knowledge of the customer and the projects under the client portfolio; use that context to anticipate needs, shape solutions, and identify growth opportunities. • Manage expectations transparently — communicate early on risks, trade-offs, and course corrections. 4. Governance, Reporting & Delivery Standards • Ensure adherence to organizational delivery standards, processes, and governance frameworks across all projects. • Maintain rigorous delivery hygiene: minutes of meetings, action-item tracking to closure, and up-to-date RAID logs (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies). • Provide accurate and timely internal reporting — project health, margins, utilization, staffing, and escalations — to delivery leadership. • Work in synergy with support functions (HR, Talent Acquisition, Finance, IT, Operations) for staffing, invoicing, compliance, and enablement needs. 5. People Leadership & Development • Manage, mentor, and grow a team of 15–18 engineers and leads — spanning goal setting, regular 1:1s, performance management, and career development conversations. • Build individual upskill plans aligned to project needs and career aspirations; track progress and create stretch opportunities. • Develop a leadership pipeline by identifying and grooming leads and anchors within the team. • Foster a culture of customer-first, ownership, accountability, and continuous learning; manage performance issues early, fairly, and constructively. • Drive team engagement, retention, and recognition. 6. Techno-Functional Contribution • Participate credibly in solution and architecture discussions; challenge estimates and technical approaches where needed. • Translate business requirements into technical direction for the team, and technical constraints into business language for the customer. • Stay current with engineering practices (Agile/Scrum, DevOps, CI/CD, cloud, and AI-assisted development) and drive their adoption where they improve delivery outcomes. Requirements What Makes You the Perfect Fit? • 8–10 years of overall experience in IT services, with at least 3–4 years managing delivery and teams of 12+ members. • Strong techno-functional profile: an engineering background with hands-on technical experience earlier in the career, now combined with delivery and domain depth. • Proven track record of on-time, within-budget delivery across multiple releases or projects. • Demonstrated experience running customer governance cadences (WSR/MBR/QBR) and managing senior client stakeholders. • Solid command of estimation techniques, release planning, quality metrics, and delivery governance artifacts (RAID logs, MoM, action trackers, status dashboards). • Experience with Agile/Scrum and hybrid delivery models; working knowledge of tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or equivalent. • Strong people-management credentials: performance management, upskilling, career development, and conflict resolution. • Excellent written and verbal communication — able to produce crisp executive-level reporting and lead difficult conversations with confidence and empathy. Good to Have • PMP, PRINCE2, CSM/PSM certification. • Exposure to AI-assisted delivery practices and productivity tooling. • Domain exposure (e.g., energy/utilities, real estate, or public sector). • Experience contributing to presales, account growth, or delivery excellence initiatives. Education • Bachelor's degree in Engineering / Computer Science or equivalent; MBA or equivalent management qualification is a plus.
