Role Overview

This role exists to own delivery across that complexity. As Senior Technical Project Manager, you are responsible for making sure cross-functional initiatives move from planning to production in a controlled, predictable way. You’ll bring structure where requirements are incomplete, keep teams aligned as priorities shift, and surface risks early enough to change course.

Key Responsibilities

• Own delivery for initiatives that span multiple engineering teams and systems

• Translate technical plans into milestones, sequencing, and clear ownership

• Coordinate dependencies to prevent late surprises and delivery bottlenecks

• Maintain delivery visibility so tradeoffs happen early, not under deadline pressure

• Drive clarification when requirements are incomplete, conflicting, or changing

• Identify risks and constraints and guide scope or timeline adjustments

• Coordinate release readiness, checks, and rollout timing

• Capture post-release issues and feed learnings back into future planning

Technical Proficiency

• 5+ years owning delivery for complex initiatives in a production SaaS environment

• Experience coordinating work across multiple engineering teams and shared systems

• Comfortable reading technical plans and challenging assumptions or timelines

• Strong judgment around sequencing work, managing dependencies, and making tradeoffs

• Proven ability to surface risks early and drive decisions before deadlines force them

• Clear, concise written communication for engineers, product, and leadership

• Calm, consistent execution when plans change or work slips

Qualifications

• Linear Expertise: 1+ years of hands-on experience managing engineering projects in Linear in a technical environment. You know the tool cold and can configure it to support complex workflows.

• Startup Experience: 2+ years in fast-moving startup environments, demonstrating ability to balance process with velocity and build systems from scratch.

• Technical Credibility: Background that gives you credibility with senior engineers, whether through previous engineering roles, CS degree, technical project management, or deep immersion in technical environments.

• Process Transformation: Proven track record of inheriting messy project management situations and transforming them into well-functioning systems. You've built or significantly improved PM processes, not just maintained existing ones.

• Execution Focus: Strong delivery track record with measurable improvements in engineering productivity, predictability, or process efficiency.

• Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication, able to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders clearly and concisely.

• Assertiveness and Influence: Ability to enforce standards and push back on poor practices while maintaining positive relationships. You can be firm about process without being a bureaucrat.

• Analytical Mindset: Data-driven approach to problem-solving, comfortable with metrics, analytics, and using quantitative evidence to drive decisions.
