Technical PM / Senior Technical PM — IT/OT Operations

About the role

You will own when things get done at 4IR. Think of it as a conductor's role — the score comes from our CTO and Architect, the talent is a team of five to six strong engineers, but you set the tempo, keep every section in sync, and make sure the most important part is always being played.

Two faces

• Customer Project Manager: Work with customers and 4IR engineers to clarify scope and estimate effort for infrastructure deployment projects. Host regular status calls with industrial stakeholders, from plant floor to corporate IT/OT leadership. Produce visual milestone plans and keep them truthful; manage scope creep deliberately — surfaced, decided, and communicated, never absorbed silently.
• Internal Product Owner: Translate the CTO and Architect's roadmap into organized epics and well-defined tasks spanning new features, CI/CD pipelines, IaC/GitOps, and security enhancements. Run a lightweight agile cadence — enough structure for clarity, not so much it creates drag. Balance the backlog across tech-debt burndown, productivity investments, and new features. Priority physics: support calls first, customer projects second, backlog third — make sure the queue never goes stale and the next most important thing is always ready to pull.

Required

• OT/industrial PM credibility — you've sat across from plant managers and controls engineers and they took you seriously. You're the bridge between modern project approaches and industrial customer expectations, able to manage internally with flexibility and adaptability while communicating with customers using traditional delivery planning methods.
• Strong communication and a systems integrator Project Manager background are table stakes. Must be available for at least 4 hours of overlap with standard U.S. Central Time business hours (9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.).
• 7+ years of experience and IT fluency alongside your OT depth — you can hold your own in engineering discussions about cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and IaC, and write requirements engineers respect.

PREFERRED

• SCADA/HMI experience (Ignition is a big one).
• Kubernetes, Azure, or IaC/GitOps familiarity.
• MSP or managed services background.
• Commercial awareness of how delivery dynamics affect business outcomes.
• CSPO or similar certification.
