Project Manager (SOFTWARE)

at  TeamEngine

THE OPPORTUNITY

Are you interested in making a difference? To work for a tech-for-good company whose reason for being is to help all boards and leadership teams to be a powerful driver of performance and a force for good? TeamEngine is on a mission to bring kindness and success together and to drive companies to think about what matters. We work with over 30,000 Chairs, CEOs, and board members to embed the discipline of focus into their organisations, and we’re helping a new board every day focus on what matters. We are in it for the long term, come join us on this journey.
As a Technical Project Manager (TPM) at TeamEngine you’ll use your TPM expertise to steer the team and drive complex projects from start to finish. You’ll work with engineers, leaders and other stakeholders to scope and refine objectives, manage project schedules, identify risks and enable clear communication. You’re equally comfortable discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers as you are to explaining your team’s analyses and recommendations to executives.
This role is to work with both of our Foundations Engineering team - who focus will be on common application capabilities and the dev experience - and our Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team - who focus on infrastructure platform capabilities and overall site reliability. The goals of these two teams are closely aligned.
