• Track project schedules, milestones, deliverables, and dependencies to ensure timely completion.
• Monitor task progress in Jira and proactively follow up with team members to keep work on track and meet deadlines.
• Facilitate regular status meetings, capture key decisions, and maintain comprehensive action-item tracking.
• Identify project risks, blockers, and schedule impacts, and escalate issues to leadership as needed.
• Generate and maintain project status reports, dashboards, and metrics using Jira and other project management tools.
• Ensure technical teams remain aligned on priorities, scope, and deliverables throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support project leadership by providing clear visibility into project execution, resource coordination, and overall status.
• Coordinate activities and communication across multiple technical teams working within Agile, Scrum, or hybrid frameworks.
• Maintain organized project documentation related to requirements, schedules, risks, and action items.

Essential Skills / Must have:

• 3+ years of experience in project coordination, project management, PMO support, or similar project-focused roles.
• Hands-on experience using Jira for project tracking and task management.
• Proven experience creating and maintaining Jira work items, boards, dashboards, and workflows.
• Experience coordinating activities across technical teams such as cybersecurity, IT, software, infrastructure, cloud, or engineering.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage detailed project requirements, schedules, and action items.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong follow-up skills and a proactive approach to monitoring task progress and resolving issues.
• Experience tracking project schedules, milestones, dependencies, and deliverables.

Additional Skills & Qualifications / Nice to have:

• Experience working in Agile, Scrum, SAFe, or hybrid project environments.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity, IT, and compliance concepts such as RMF, POA&M (Plan of Action and Milestones), and related documentation.
• Knowledge of compliance-focused environments, including government, defense, or other highly regulated sectors.
• Project management certifications such as PMP, CAPM, CSM, PMI-ACP, SAFe, or similar credentials.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity and compliance frameworks, including RMF and POA&M processes.
• Exposure to IT and cybersecurity project domains such as risk management, compliance, and security initiatives.
• Experience generating project dashboards and metrics to communicate status and performance to leadership.

Work Environment

The Technical Project Manager will work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment focused on cybersecurity, IT, software, infrastructure, cloud, and other technical initiatives. The role relies heavily on Jira for managing epics, stories, tasks, workflows, and dashboards, and involves frequent interaction with cross-functional technical teams operating in Agile, Scrum, SAFe, or hybrid frameworks.
