Technical Project Manager II

EdgeConneX is a dynamic company focused on delivering innovative data center solutions. The Technical Project Manager II is responsible for driving the delivery of technical initiatives across the CIO organization, coordinating with various teams to ensure successful project execution and managing dependencies effectively.

Responsibilities:

• Own delivery coordination for 3–6 concurrent Strategic Initiatives or Operational Projects, primarily those involving platform, infrastructure, or product engineering work
• Drive initiatives from intake through delivery: facilitate kickoffs, define milestones, manage risks, remove blockers, and ensure status is reflected accurately on initiative cards
• Work directly with engineering leads to translate business requirements into delivery plans with realistic timelines
• Manage technical dependencies across delivery teams and leveraged teams — proactively surface conflicts before they become blockers
• Serve as the PPMO's primary technical point of contact for leveraged team sequencing decisions
• Propose allocation queue ordering based on technical dependencies, initiative priority, and leveraged team capacity — for Program Manager/CIO approval
• When two initiatives of equal priority compete for the same leveraged team, assess technical sequencing options and present trade-offs to leadership
• Maintain working relationships with leveraged team leads (Cloud Services, Cybersecurity, Data Engineering) to ensure capacity commitments are realistic and blockers are escalated early
• Own the 'Depends On' dependency map across the initiative portfolio — ensure it stays current and flag multi-layer dependency chains
• When dependency conflicts surface (Initiative A blocked by lower-priority Initiative B), prepare resolution options for the Monthly Leadership Review
• If active initiative dependency coverage exceeds 30%, produce a visual dependency map in Lucid Spark for leadership review
• During intake triage, provide technical feasibility input for new requests — validate t-shirt sizing for technical initiatives
• Assess technical risk for in-flight initiatives and reflect in status narratives and escalation recommendations
• Identify architectural or infrastructure dependencies that may not be visible at the initiative level but could impact delivery timelines
• Update initiative cards for owned initiatives by the last sprint/cycle boundary before the 25th
• Contribute to the Monthly Portfolio Status Report — specifically the dependency conflict, leveraged team queue, and technical risk sections
• Participate in Monthly Leadership Reviews to provide technical context for prioritization and sequencing decisions
• Support Quarterly Strategic Alignment with technical capacity and roadmap input

Requirements:

• 5–8 years of experience in technical project management, program management, or delivery management in a technology organization
• Demonstrated experience managing cross-team technical initiatives involving infrastructure, platform, or product engineering work
• Strong understanding of software development lifecycles, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and enterprise systems architecture — enough to credibly engage with engineering leads, not necessarily to write code
• Experience managing shared/matrixed resources across multiple concurrent initiatives
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365 (SharePoint, Teams, PowerPoint, Power BI)
• Strong communication skills — can translate technical complexity into clear status, risk, and trade-off narratives for non-technical leadership
• Experience in organizations with matrixed or leveraged team structures (shared services, platform teams, enabling teams)
• Familiarity with agile delivery frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) at the team and portfolio level
• Experience with Coda, Lucid Spark, Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar project/portfolio management tools
• Exposure to cybersecurity, cloud migration, or data engineering initiative delivery
• PMP, PMI-ACP, SAFe SPC, or equivalent certification (not required but valued)
• Experience with AI/ML or emerging technology initiatives (relevant as AI/ML and Labs teams come online)
