Industry UsageIT, software development, tech companiesSoftware companies, tech startups, IT departments

What is a technical project manager?

A technical project manager oversees the development of a new piece of technology or computer program. Their job duties are to create a schedule for the technical team to follow, identify important goals during the project, and ensure that a project is delivered on-time. They must also maintain careful track of the team’s progress and address any issues that may crop up during the development cycle. A technical project manager often makes reports to stakeholders and other interested parties about the timetable of the project and inform them of any issues.

How do technical project managers typically balance technical leadership with project delivery responsibilities?

Technical Project Managers often face the challenge of balancing hands-on technical guidance with overseeing project timelines, budgets, and stakeholder communication. They regularly collaborate with engineering teams to assess technical risks, clarify requirements, and troubleshoot issues, while also ensuring that project milestones are met and resources are allocated efficiently. Success in this role requires strong organizational skills, the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, and adaptability to shifting priorities. Many Technical Project Managers work in cross-functional teams, acting as a bridge between technical staff and business leaders to keep everyone aligned toward project goals.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a technical project manager?

To thrive as a Technical Project Manager, you need a solid grounding in project management methodologies, technical expertise relevant to the industry, and typically a bachelor's degree in a related field. Familiarity with tools like Jira, Trello, Microsoft Project, and certifications such as PMP or Agile/Scrum credentials are highly valuable. Strong leadership, problem-solving abilities, and excellent communication skills distinguish top performers in this role. These competencies are crucial for effectively leading projects to successful completion, aligning technical teams, and managing stakeholder expectations.

Role Overview 

The Senior Technical Project Manager (Senior TPM) leads complex technical programs that span multiple teams and require cross-functional coordination. This role bridges team-level delivery excellence with broader organizational impact, owning programs with greater technical complexity and stakeholder breadth.


The Senior TPM operates as an individual contributor, driving program outcomes through

What You'll Do
Program Delivery & Execution
  • Lead end-to-end delivery of complex programs spanning 2-5 engineering teams through the
    full SDLC;
  • Develop and maintain detailed program plans including milestones, critical path,
    dependencies, and resource needs;
  • Use Agile metrics and data-driven analysis to steer work to successful completion, identify
    risks early, and recommend corrective actions;
  • Report on program health for all active programs, ensuring stakeholders have clear visibility
    into status, risks, and trade-offs.
Cross-Functional Coordination
  • Coordinate deliverables across teams with shared dependencies, ensuring alignment on
    priorities and timelines;
  • Facilitate technical discussions to surface integration risks, dependency conflicts, and
    sequencing challenges;
  • Communicate and track deliverables with external dependencies and/or customers;
  • Chair program-related meetings, ensuring clear action items, owners, and due dates.
 
Process Improvement & Operational Excellence
  • Identify and implement opportunities to improve team and cross-team effectiveness;
  • Contribute to the development of repeatable, scalable processes for program execution and
    release readiness;
  • Track and communicate delivery health metrics, using data to drive continuous
    improvement;
  • Proactively identify gaps in process and execution and recommend solutions.
 
Stakeholder Communication
  • Produce and communicate program health documentation to all program stakeholders,
    bridging technical and business contexts;
  • Provide clear, concise updates to senior leadership on program status, risks, and trade-offs;
  • Build effective working relationships across Engineering, Product, and other functional
    teams.
 
Coaching & Mentorship
  • Coach engineering teams in Agile principles and practices;
  • Mentor junior Technical Project Managers, sharing best practices and helping develop their
    program management skills;
  • Facilitate retrospectives that surface actionable improvements and drive team learning.
What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of technical program or project management experience, with demonstrated

    delivery of complex, multi-team programs;

  • Experience with project management in continuous deployment or Agile environments;

  • Strong analytical skills, with experience using data and metrics to assess program health and

    recommend solutions;

  • Technical fluency sufficient to understand software architecture, assess dependencies, and

    participate in trade-off discussions;

  • Demonstrated understanding of software development and test methodologies;

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor messaging for

    technical and non-technical audiences;

  • Demonstrated decision-making skills, interpersonal skills, and leadership qualities;

  • Experience influencing outcomes across teams without direct authority;

  • Possess the ability to learn new technology quickly and effectively.

Indicators of Success
 
We're looking for someone who checks off most, but not all, of the boxes listed in "skills and experiences".  It's more important to us to find candidates who can display indicators of success through skills they have developed and experiences they have been a part of, than to find folks who have "been there, done that".  We want to be part of your development journey, and we'll learn as much from you as you learn from us. 
 
How We Work
 
At Magnet Forensics, we take a hybrid-flexible approach to support your productivity and work-life balance. If you're within a comfortable travel distance to one of our offices, you'll occasionally join us in person. How often you'll come in depends on your department and team needs, typically ranging from weekly to monthly. These in-person moments help us build stronger connections, spark new ideas, and celebrate our successes together. Most days, you can choose what works best for you, while staying in tune with your team's goals.
 
We're excited to welcome you to our team and look forward to achieving great things together - both in the office and wherever you work best!
 
The Most Important Thing
 
We're looking for candidates that can provide examples of how they have demonstrated Magnet CODE in their previous experiences:
 
CARE - We care about each other and our mission to make a difference in the world.
OWN - We are accountable for our results - while never forgetting to act with integrity, empathy, and respect.
DEDICATE - We put our heart and soul into meeting the needs of our customers and helping them serve the people they protect.
EVOLVE - We are constantly innovating and exploring new ways to work together to make an impact with our work.
 
Here at Magnet Forensics, we are committed to continuous learning and are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. This commitment will be reflected in our hiring processes and embedded in our values and how we treat one another. If you're interested in this role, but do not meet all of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply anyways.

We are committed to providing an inclusive, accessible recruitment process and work environment. Accommodation is available to all applicants upon request throughout the hiring process.
