Technical Project Manager, Telecom

Job Description

The role is responsible for shaping and managing the delivery approach for a complex telecom transformation project, from early planning through to execution. Working closely with architects and technical leads, you will translate evolving technical designs into a structured delivery plan with clear workstreams, milestones, ownership, dependencies, and governance.

• Support the development of the target solution by identifying planning assumptions, information gaps, technical dependencies, and decision points, ensuring they are reflected in the project plan as the design evolves.
• Translate emerging architecture and engineering decisions into executable work packages, realistic delivery plans, and clear acceptance criteria.
• Cook up technical teams, manage risks and dependencies, and ensure delivery remains aligned with the project's objectives.
• Serve as the primary delivery lead, ensuring effective coordination across multiple technical domains, maintaining alignment between strategic goals and execution activities, and driving successful outcomes in fast-paced and evolving environments.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of project or program management experience in telecom networks, digital infrastructure, or a similar technical environment.
• Experience planning and mobilizing projects where the scope, roadmap, or solution was still being developed - not only delivering projects with a predefined plan.
• Experience working closely with technical teams to build delivery plans for complex engineering or infrastructure projects.
• Practical understanding of telecom and network infrastructure, with the ability to understand technical designs, identify dependencies, and challenge assumptions when needed.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills in stakeholder-facing environments.
• Demonstrated experience leading large-scale transformation, network modernization, cloud migration, or infrastructure deployment programs.
• Experience managing multiple workstreams, vendors, and geographically distributed teams within complex delivery environments.
• Strong knowledge of project management methodologies, including Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid delivery models.
• Experience with risk management, governance reporting, executive-level communications, and steering.
