We are currently recruiting for a Technical Project Manager for our client who is building the next-generation travel platform and they are looking for a candidate that can help them scale their delivery engine.
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

3–5 years in a technical/agile project management role, ideally in startups or product-led orgs
Strong command of Jira, Confluence, and Agile methodologies
Excellent communication and documentation skills
High attention to detail and strong ownership mindset
Experience working with multi-squad environments across mobile, web, and backend
