AutomationEdge is looking for a Technical Project Manager to own end-to-end delivery of enterprise RPA and automation projects — from planning and technical coordination through execution, risk management, and successful transition. This is a delivery and stakeholder-management role; deep hands-on coding isn’t required, but you should be technically sharp enough to understand, challenge, and guide technical decisions with developers and architects.

- Drive execution from requirements through design, development, testing, deployment, and transition.
- Coordinate with Technical Leads, Solution Architects, and developers to ensure sound technical solutions and adherence to standards.
- Identify risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks early; drive timely mitigation.
- Manage and coordinate cross-functional teams (developers, BAs, SMEs); track utilization and hold the team accountable.
- Act as primary customer point of contact — manage expectations on scope, timelines, and risks; lead reviews, demos, and escalations.
- Maintain project governance: status reports, dashboards, RAID logs, and review cadences.
- Drive process standardization and support Agile/Scrum adoption across projects.
Required Skills
- Must Have
- Strong grasp of SDLC and project delivery methodologies.
- Working knowledge of one or more: Java, .NET, Selenium/Automation Testing, or RPA/Intelligent Automation.
- Understanding of REST APIs, integrations, and solution architecture basics.
- Proven ability to coordinate effectively with engineering teams.
- Preferred
- Experience with RPA platforms: AutomationEdge, UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, or similar.
- Good to Have
- Exposure to AI/ML, Generative AI, Agentic AI, or Cognitive Automation.
- Experience with API integration or enterprise application implementation projects.
- PMP, PRINCE2, or Scrum Master certification.
- Key Competencies
- Project ownership · Stakeholder & customer management · Risk management · Team leadership · Multi-project prioritization · Communicating technical topics to non-technical audiences · Working effectively under deadline pressure
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or related field.
