Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. System Automation Corporation is a software vendor specializing in government regulatory management operations. They are seeking a Senior Technical Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex software and enterprise low-code platform implementations, ensuring effective stakeholder engagement and technical oversight throughout the project lifecycle.
Responsibilities
- Engage meaningfully at the technical level on assigned projects - understanding how solutions are being designed and configured on the Evoke platform well enough to identify risks, ask informed questions, and provide useful pushback when the approach is unclear or unsound. This is not a design ownership role; it is an informed oversight role backed by real technical experience
- Review proposed solution approaches prior to build in collaboration with Solution Architects and Functional Consultants, raising concerns about gaps, misalignments with user stories, or risks before they are locked into the project plan. The expectation is not that you design the solution, but that you understand it well enough to challenge it constructively
- Work closely with Solution Architects and Functional Consultants throughout design and build phases, ensuring that delivery decisions are well-documented, traceable to user stories, and consistent with platform capabilities - including appropriate use of templates and reusable components
- Maintain working awareness of Azure Government constraints, data residency requirements, and compliance considerations relevant to the project environment, and ensure these factors are surfaced and accounted for during planning and design phases
- Stay current on platform releases and new Evoke functionality, proactively identifying opportunities to leverage emerging capabilities in active projects
- Translate complex technical trade-offs into clear, decision-ready communications for non-technical client stakeholders and executive sponsors
- Own the full project lifecycle: initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure -across multi-year, multi-stakeholder government implementations
- Develop and maintain detailed, resource-loaded project schedules; set and manage milestones, resource allocations, and time budgets with precision
- Drive milestone completion and profitability targets in coordination with the Professional Services Manager and leadership team
- Proactively manage scope, identifying and escalating scope creep with documented analysis and recommended disposition before it affects budget or schedule
- Manage risk registers with rigor: identify, quantify, assign ownership, and track mitigation actions across the full project portfolio
- Produce accurate, professional-grade status reports and communications for both internal leadership and client-facing audiences
- Support business development by contributing to proposal scoping, effort estimation, and project plan development for prospective engagements
- Navigate complex stakeholder environments that frequently include competing interests, politically motivated demands, and shifting priorities across agency leadership, program staff, and end users
- Serve as the primary point of accountability for client relationships on assigned projects - maintaining trust even in difficult conversations around scope, timelines, and budget constraints
- Conduct structured weekly status meetings with client stakeholders; facilitate executive-level reviews with appropriate preparation and gravitas
- Collaborate internally with the Support Manager, Solution Architects, and functional leadership to coordinate resource utilization, resolve cross-functional issues, and ensure smooth transition to post-go-live support
- Enforce delivery standards across the project team, including documentation quality, acceptance criteria rigor, and milestone completion gates
- Champion backlog prioritization discipline, ensuring that development effort is directed toward contractually mandated requirements in order of client value—with clear, well-specified acceptance criteria before any item enters the build queue
- Hold project team members accountable for task completion, quality of deliverables, and professional conduct in client-facing interactions
- Forecast milestone completion and financial burn in Workday Adaptive; surface early warnings when projects deviate from plan
Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a closely related STEM discipline is required
- Minimum 7 years of direct, hands-on experience managing custom software development or enterprise low-code platform implementation projects, with demonstrated responsibility for budget, schedule, and client relationship outcomes
- Hands-on experience building or configuring solutions on one or more highly configurable low-code enterprise platforms
- Demonstrable understanding of cloud platform architecture, preferably Microsoft Azure or Azure Government
- Verifiable experience running both pure agile and waterfall/agile blended projects
- Ability to read and critically evaluate technical documentation, data models, integration designs, and workflow specifications
- Proficiency with Microsoft Project and/or Unanet for schedule management
- Proficiency with Jira is required
- Sufficient technical fluency to recognize when a proposed configuration or development approach raises delivery risks
- Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Business Administration (with a technical concentration), or equivalent is strongly preferred
- Prior experience delivering projects in regulated government environments (state or federal) is strongly preferred
- Hands-on software development experience at some point in their career is strongly preferred
- Experience managing mixed teams of internal employees and external contractors (system integrators and independent contractors)
- Experience managing projects with budgets exceeding $1M and durations of 12+ months
- Familiarity with financial forecasting tools is strongly preferred
- PMP or PRINCE2 certification is desirable but not required
- Scrum Master or SAFe certification preferred
- Azure or related cloud and/or low-code platform certification is a meaningful differentiator
