A global law firm is seeking to build a Technical Project Management office to help bridge the technology and innovation departments. They are committed to providing top services to their clients whose success depends on innovation. With more than 1,500 attorneys across 18 offices worldwide, they serve the most dynamic sectors in business, including technology, life sciences, clean energy, private equity, and finance. Their Technology team underpins the firm?s ability to deliver exceptional client service and operates a sophisticated portfolio of enterprise systems, data platforms, and custom applications. We are seeking a Senior Technical Project Manager to join the TMO, which will be a high-performing team of 4?5 technical PMs who collectively own the Client?s technology project portfolio. This is not a traditional PM role. The ideal candidate is an engineer or developer first; someone who has written production code, architected systems, or built and shipped technical products and who has since moved into project leadership without losing their technical edge. The roles can be hybrid remote near an office location: Boston MA, NYC, Palo Alto CA, Chicago IL, Denver CO, LA, Miami FL, Reston VA, San Diego CA, San Francisco CA, Santa Monica CA, Seattle WA, or Washington DC. The Technical Management Office (TMO) is a dedicated team of senior technical project managers embedded within the Technology Infrastructure & DevOps organization. The TMO is responsible for the measurement, management, and delivery of the client?s technical project portfolio ? owning the full lifecycle of technology initiatives from initial scoping through production deployment and post-launch review.The TMO operates alongside, but independently from, the client?s enterprise Program Management Office (PMO). The PMO manages the firm’s broader business-level portfolio and handles non-technical initiatives firm-wide. When a project is purely non-technical in nature, it falls exclusively within the PMO’s purview. When a project is technical ? regardless of whether the stakeholders are technical or not ? it is owned by the TMO.On cross-functional initiatives where technical and business workstreams intersect, the TMO and PMO collaborate as peer organizations. In these cases, the TMO serves as the authoritative source on all technical delivery matters and is responsible for producing structured read-outs to the PMO covering initial scoping and sizing, deployment plans, and ongoing progress reporting. Each TPM is directly accountable for producing and maintaining these artifacts for the projects assigned to them.TPM role spans the full breadth of client?s technical portfolio: infrastructure modernization, enterprise integrations, security initiatives, data platform work, and custom application development. You will partner with highly technical engineering teams while also serving as a trusted liaison for non-technical legal and business stakeholders. You must be equally comfortable reviewing a CI/CD pipeline design and presenting a project status update to firm leadership.Key ResponsibilitiesProject Delivery & Ownership1.Own the full project lifecycle ? from discovery and scoping through delivery, hypercare, and retrospective ? for concurrent technical initiatives across client?s technology portfolio.2.Develop and maintain detailed project plans, risk registers, dependency maps, and milestone roadmaps using Jira and Confluence.3.Identify, assess, and actively mitigate technical risks and blockers, escalating appropriately and proposing engineering-informed solutions.4.Hold teams accountable to committed delivery timelines without sacrificing quality or technical integrity.PMO Liaison & Reporting1.Serve as the TMO?s authoritative voice on all technical delivery matters for projects assigned to you.2.Produce and maintain structured deliverables for PMO consumption on cross-functional initiatives, including initial scoping and sizing summaries, deployment plans, and recurring progress reports.3.Ensure PMO stakeholders have accurate, timely, and appropriately scoped visibility into technical project status without requiring direct involvement in technical execution.4.Maintain a clear boundary of ownership: the TMO leads all technical delivery; the PMO receives structured read-outs and coordinates on business-side workstreams.Technical Leadership & Collaboration1.Engage substantively with engineering teams on architecture decisions, sprint planning, and technical design discussions.2.Apply firsthand engineering experience to assess feasibility, challenge estimates, and identify hidden complexity early.3.Serve as a bridge between engineers, architects, and infrastructure teams ? facilitating technical alignment across workstreams.4.Contribute to technical documentation, system design reviews, and post-incident analyses as needed.Stakeholder Management1.Manage relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders including attorneys, practice group leadership, IT directors, vendors, and C-suite executives.2.Translate complex technical concepts, trade-offs, and constraints into clear, actionable communication for non-technical audiences.3.Produce executive-level status reports, steering committee materials, and project dashboards that are accurate, concise, and decision-ready.4.Navigate competing priorities diplomatically, maintaining stakeholder confidence while protecting project scope and team capacity.Process & Continuous Improvement1.Champion and refine Agile/Scrum delivery practices across the TMO, adapting frameworks pragmatically to fit project context.2.Establish and maintain consistent PM standards, templates, and tooling within Jira and Confluence environments.3.Contribute to the ongoing maturation of TMO practices including intake processes, prioritization frameworks, and delivery metrics.4.Mentor junior team members and contribute to a culture of continuous learning and operational excellence.What Success Looks Like1. Projects are delivered on time, on scope, and with a high degree of engineering quality and stakeholder satisfaction.2. Engineering teams experience you as a credible technical peer who removes friction rather than adding it.3. Non-technical stakeholders trust you to represent their interests accurately and keep them appropriately informed.4. PMO counterparts receive clean, structured, and timely read-outs that give them portfolio visibility without requiring them to engage in technical execution.5. The broader TMO operates with more consistency, clarity, and velocity because of your contributions to process and tooling.Compensation:$60/hr to $70/hr.Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including location, skills, experience, and education.Employees in this role will enjoy a comprehensive benefits package starting on day one of employment, including options for medical, dental, and vision insurance. Eligibility to enroll in the 401(k) retirement plan begins after 90 days of employment. Additionally, employees in this role will have access to paid sick leave and other paid time off benefits as required under the applicable law of the worksite location.We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day.
