About the Role

As a Technical Project Manager, you will be the operational driver behind cross-functional execution. You’ll lead sprint rituals, own Jira workflows, manage dependencies, align stakeholders, and ensure everyone - from engineers to designers to leadership - is on the same page.

This role is perfect for someone who loves structure, lives in Jira, and thrives on cross-team coordination in a fast-paced startup environment.

• Cross-Team & Project Coordination : Coordinate work across backend, frontend, mobile, QA, and design
• Manage dependencies between VTA (mobile app), VE (enterprise platform), and Innovation tracks
• Track progress on key features (e.g., itinerary sharing, hotel booking engine, notification system)
• Meeting & Stakeholder Management : Set, prepare, and lead team syncs, reviews, and leadership updates
• Ensure all action items are documented, assigned, and followed up
• Serve as the bridge between product, engineering, design, QA, and leadership
• Release & Risk Management : Plan, track, and coordinate releases across web and mobile
• Ensure QA readiness, deployment success, and rollback plans
• Maintain risk registers and escalate critical issues early
• Metrics & Reporting : Track and improve sprint KPIs : delivery rate, spillover, blocker resolution
• Provide reporting and insights to leadership on delivery health
• Monitor tech debt ratio and ensure balance in sprint planning
• Documentation & Coaching : Maintain Confluence structure, sprint templates, and grooming docs
• Coach teams on agile delivery, Jira usage, and delivery consistency
• Facilitate team improvement and knowledge-sharing rituals
