We are currently seeking a Senior Technical Project Manager to join our diverse and dynamic team.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that projects are completed on time, within scope, and in alignment with business objectives.

• Leading the end-to-end management of technical projects, from initiation through to delivery, ensuring they meet deadlines and budget constraints.
• Collaborating with stakeholders to define project goals, scope, and deliverables, ensuring alignment with business needs.

• Providing leadership and mentorship to project teams, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence.

Your Profile:

• They need to be a confident people leader. This role involves guiding and mentoring other project managers and support staff, setting clear direction, and helping the team work better together while continuously improving how work gets done.
• Good client communication skills are essential. They will be the main technical point of contact for customers, so they need to explain things clearly, manage expectations, handle questions or issues, and build strong working relationships with clients.
• Experience working with processes, rules, and compliance is important. They should be used to following standard operating procedures, working in regulated environments, and making sure projects meet required standards, without losing sight of efficiency and value.
• They must be comfortable with documentation and attention to detail. Reviewing, approving, and maintaining system documentation, managing change control, and making sure releases meet quality expectations are all key parts of the job.
• Strong teamwork and collaboration skills are required. They will work closely with internal teams, so being able to coordinate across departments and keep everyone aligned is critical.
• A high level of professionalism and discretion. They will be trusted with sensitive project and client information and need to handle it responsibly at all times.
• Finally, they need to be organized, adaptable, and flexible. This role involves juggling multiple priorities, responding to changing project needs, taking on additional responsibilities when needed, and being open to some domestic or international travel.

• 5-7 years’ experience of delivering IRT systems and integrations (Not from a programming or validation exp.).
