About us:
Working at Tech Holding isn't just a job, it's an opportunity to be a part of something bigger. We are a full-service consulting firm that was founded on the premise of delivering predictable outcomes and high-quality solutions to our clients. Our founders and team members have industry experience and have held senior positions in a wide variety of companies – from emerging startups to large Fortune 50 firms – and we have taken our combined experiences and developed a unique approach that is supported by the principles of deep expertise, integrity, transparency, and dependability.
The Role:
We are seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager for a project-based assignment to drive the successful delivery of complex technology projects through rigorous governance and structured execution. The ideal candidate brings 4+ years of hands-on project management experience, focused on formal project management methodologies, cross-functional leadership, and establishing clear accountability. You will establish and maintain the delivery framework for projects, ensuring alignment, transparency, and excellence at every stage.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the project from start to finish. Define scope, success metrics, and the plan with the client. Stay with it through delivery, launch, handoff, and lessons learned.
- Understand why the client is building it. Learn their business well enough to challenge the request, suggest a simpler way to get the same outcome, and explain trade-offs in terms of business impact.
- Build trust on both sides. Become the person the client’s sponsor relies on, and earn credibility with engineers who don’t report to you.
- Get ahead of problems. Spot risks early, bring options and a recommendation, and make sure decisions get made and written down.
- Do what the project needs. Write requirements, run user acceptance testing (UAT), clean up a data issue, sit in on a support call. If the project needs it and you can do it, you do it.
- Run governance that’s worth attending. Steering committees and status reports that are short, honest, and end in decisions.
- Run more than one project at a time without any of them losing focus.
Required Skills:
- 4+ years managing technology projects, including at least [2] years with external clients (consulting, agency, or a client-facing delivery role)
- Owned at least two projects from kickoff to launch, including scope, plan, budget, and the sponsor relationship. You were there at the start and you were there at go-live.
- Enough technical fluency to follow an engineering discussion, push back on an estimate, and know when something is harder than it looks
- Hands-on Agile delivery experience, plus Jira and Confluence
- Experience defining and reporting on KPIs that leadership actually uses to make decisions
- Clear, direct communication with executives and engineers alike
Nice to Have:
- PMP, CSM, or similar certification
Nice to have:
- PMP, CSM or other relevant certifications
- Experience working in consulting, digital agency, or fast-moving startup environments
What this role is not:
- Running ceremonies and updating boards for a single internal team
- Status reporting without accountability for the outcome
- Handing off anything that falls outside “PM work”
Compensation
- Salary $100k-125k (DOE) + Benefits
- This is an onsite role requiring 3 days per week between Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) and Los Angeles.
