Technical Project Manager

Join a local professional services company delivering complex digital solutions for a wide range of clients.

Are you experienced in managing technical projects end-to-end?

Do you have the Jira expertise to bring clarity and structure to fast-paced delivery environments?

Are you passionate about bridging the gap between clients and engineers to ensure successful outcomes?

The Role

As Technical Project Manager, you'll be responsible for leading the delivery of high-impact digital projects from discovery through to release. Acting as the bridge between clients, stakeholders, and engineering teams, you'll translate technical requirements into clear project plans, manage delivery timelines, and ensure the team is set up to succeed.

You'll combine strong technical understanding with excellent client-facing skills-engaging confidently with developers on topics such as architecture, APIs, and cloud services, while guiding customers through decision-making and progress updates.

A key part of your role will be project tracking and reporting, where advanced Jira expertise is essential to configure workflows, manage sprints, and deliver meaningful dashboards and insights.

Your Responsibilities Will Include:

  • Leading end-to-end delivery of digital projects, ensuring scope, timelines, and quality are managed effectively
  • Acting as the primary client contact-running workshops, gathering requirements, and providing regular updates
  • Supporting engineering teams by removing blockers, prioritising work, and keeping projects on track
  • Configuring Jira workflows, dashboards, and reports to provide transparency and drive continuous improvement
  • Collaborating with designers, developers, and product specialists to align technical solutions with business needs
  • Managing multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment while maintaining strong communication across stakeholders

Your Skills & Experience:

You're a strong fit if you have:

  • 5+ years' experience as a Technical Project Manager, Delivery Manager, or similar role in software/product development
  • Strong technical knowledge-comfortable discussing system architecture, APIs, cloud services, and modern engineering practices
  • Advanced Jira expertise, including workflow configuration, dashboards, backlog grooming, and sprint management
  • Proven track record of delivering digital projects end-to-end
  • Excellent client-facing and communication skills, with confidence in workshops and status reporting
  • Strong understanding of Agile and Scrum methodologies

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Experience with Confluence, Trello, or other collaboration tools
  • Background in software engineering (Java, JavaScript, or similar) or technical consulting
  • Familiarity with UX/UI workflows and product development lifecycles
  • Project management certification (Scrum Master, PMI-ACP, Prince2, etc.)

What's In It For You?

  • Competitive salary (£40-60k)
  • Hybrid and flexible working environment (2 days in Belfast)
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge digital projects for leading clients
  • Join a collaborative, highly skilled team with strong technical expertise
  • Career development and training opportunities in a supportive environment

Working in a competitive start-up was quite a big change for him, but he’s managed to hit the ground running. “My old employer had rigid systems already in place but I like that I’m a part of shaping Ocho.”
