Technical Project Manager

• Own the day-to-day client relationship for your assigned engagements

• Run sprint reviews, steering calls, and escalation conversations with confidence and preparation

• Proactively identify delivery risks and surface them to the client before they surface themselves

• Manage scope with discipline: track all client requests, flag scope creep to the Delivery Head, and raise change orders on all additions above agreed thresholds

• Maintain a clean project health view across scope, budget, timeline, and risks

• Keep the engineering pod focused: facilitate sprint planning, remove blockers within 24 hours, and protect the team from scope thrash

• Build rapport with client ICs, leads, and product owners — your network inside the client is your early warning system

• Capture and share expansion signals with the Delivery Head — you are closest to the client and will hear about new initiatives first

• Ensure knowledge transfer, documentation, and handover quality at every milestone and engagement close

• 8+ years in technical project management or delivery management in IT services or product engineering

• Strong technical background — can read code, understand architecture trade-offs, and have credible conversations with senior engineers and client architects

• Proven experience managing client relationships at IT head, product head, or senior architect level independently

• Has managed SOW-based engagements including scope change and commercial negotiation

• Comfortable facilitating difficult conversations — missed milestones, quality issues, scope disputes

• Familiarity with at least one domain: Data Engineering, Cloud, or AI/ML
