Technical Project Manager

Ignyte Assurance Platform is seeking a proactive Technical Project Manager to lead the day-to-day execution of cybersecurity, compliance, technology, and implementation projects. The role owns project execution from kickoff through completion, coordinates internal teams and customers, manages risks and dependencies, leads status meetings, and maintains project documentation and accountability.

Responsibilities:

• Own assigned projects from kickoff through completion
• Develop and maintain project plans, milestones, dependencies, priorities, risks, and action items
• Use Agile and iterative project management techniques where appropriate
• Keep projects moving without waiting to be told what to do next
• Follow up proactively with team members, customers, and stakeholders
• Identify schedule risks, blockers, and dependencies before they become problems
• Drive action items to closure and maintain clear accountability for owners and deadlines
• Quickly learn the terminology, objectives, workflow, and major requirements of assigned cybersecurity and compliance projects
• Develop working familiarity with areas such as CMMC, FedRAMP, NIST, SOC 2, ISO, cloud environments, security assessments, and related technical services
• Understand enough of the project to recognize when information is missing, conflicting, or requires technical review
• Ask effective questions and seek guidance from the appropriate technical or compliance authority rather than making unsupported assumptions
• Translate technical discussions into clear tasks, decisions, dependencies, and next steps
• Serve as the primary project-management contact for assigned customers
• Prepare and lead project status meetings
• Present project progress, milestones, open items, risks, decisions, and next steps clearly
• Gather status updates from internal teams before customer meetings rather than relying on the customer meeting to discover project status
• Maintain professional, confident communication even when information is incomplete or issues arise
• Follow meetings with clear documentation of decisions, responsibilities, and deadlines
• Coordinate work across consultants, engineers, auditors, security professionals, customer stakeholders, and other project participants
• Know who owns technical decisions and route questions to the appropriate subject-matter expert
• Escalate issues early when decisions, technical expertise, customer action, or leadership involvement is required
• Protect technical resources from unnecessary administrative overhead while ensuring the PM understands the status of their work
• Maintain an accurate source of truth for project status
• Maintain current project plans, meeting notes, action registers, risk registers, and decision logs
• Produce concise internal and client-facing status reports
• Track commitments and ensure closed items are actually completed
• Document scope changes and identify work that may require additional authorization or a change order
• Maintain enough documentation that another team member can quickly understand the state of the project

Requirements:

• 2+ years of project management, implementation, consulting, technology, cybersecurity, or related experience
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams, dependencies, deadlines, and stakeholders
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to learn technical terminology and unfamiliar subject matter quickly
• Comfortable working directly with customers and technical professionals
• Experience using project-management tools and structured project plans
• Familiarity with Agile, Scrum, Kanban, or other iterative project-management approaches
• Strong attention to detail and follow-through
• Proactive: Finds the next action instead of waiting for instructions
• Fast-learning: Can enter an unfamiliar domain and quickly understand the important concepts
• Structured: Turns ambiguous conversations into organized plans and actions
• Accountable: Follows commitments through to completion
• Client-confident: Communicates clearly and professionally with customers
• Curious: Asks questions instead of making assumptions
• Self-aware: Understands the boundary between project ownership and technical authority
• Comfortable with ambiguity: Can move a project forward even when every answer is not yet available
• Detail-oriented: Notices missing information, inconsistent dates, unclear ownership, and unresolved dependencies
• Cybersecurity, cloud, GRC, compliance, or professional-services experience
