Job Description

Role Summary 
The Technical Project Manager (TPM) reports to the Technical Program Management Office and leads cross-functional technology projects that deliver measurable business outcomes across Technology & Innovation (T&I). 

 

This role requires experience delivering ServiceNow implementations and will initially support the rollout of the ServiceNow platform. The TPM will play a key role in expanding Service Management capabilities across multiple departments, including Legal, Risk, Accounting, and other business functions.

The TPM partners closely with ITSM process owners, platform/product teams, and Service Delivery leadership. While ITSM strategy and platform ownership remain with their respective teams, the TPM ensures successful execution, alignment, and delivery of initiatives.

  • Lead end-to-end delivery of cross-functional technology projects, ensuring alignment to scope, schedule, budget, and outcomes. 

  • Proactively manage risks, issues, and dependencies to ensure predictable delivery. 

  • Apply consistent project management practices across a portfolio of initiatives. 

Stakeholder Engagement & Alignment 

  • Partner with T&I teams and business stakeholders to define project scope, requirements, and success criteria. 

  • Facilitate alignment across ITSM, Product, Infrastructure, Operations, and business teams. 

  • Provide clear communication on project status, risks, and outcomes. 

Service Transition & Operational Readiness 

  • Coordinate service transition for new or enhanced services, including support models, SLAs, and knowledge transfer. 

  • Partner with Service Delivery teams (L1/L2) to align intake, triage, escalation, and support workflows. 

Performance & Continuous Improvement 

  • Support tracking of SLAs, KPIs, and adoption metrics to measure service performance and user experience. 

  • Analyze trends and identify opportunities to improve service delivery effectiveness. 

  • Drive continuous improvement through structured delivery practices and lessons learned. 

Vendor & Resource Coordination 

  • Coordinate internal resources and external partners to ensure successful delivery of project outcomes. 

  • Manage vendor performance, deliverables, and escalations as needed.

Change & Adoption Support 

  • Experience supporting organizational change, including communication, training, and adoption of new tools and processes. 

  • Ability to drive adoption of service delivery capabilities across business and technical teams. 

Problem Solving & Adaptability 

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to anticipate and resolve issues. 
    Adaptable across delivery methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, Hybrid).

    Proficiency in project management methodologies and tools (e.g., Agile, Waterfall, Jira, MS Project, Smartsheet). 

  • Strong understanding of enterprise business processes and workflows. 

  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and coordination skills. 

  • Experience managing vendors and external partners. 

Preferred
