Job Description

Position : Technical Project Manager

Duration : Contract, roughly 6-12 months with an option to extend or convert

Location : Bethesda, Maryland -Hybrid

Keys/Notes:

• Wants to focus more on the appian workflow project
• In Azure- AI prototype we are building
• Someone who can help with the day to day
• Fabric is already there but would like to focus more on the development piece
• How hands do they need to be with Appian? They don't need to be, just needs understanding of concepts
• JIRA for project management tool- bridge dev team with product manager
• We have product managers for each of our products
• We're looking for an experienced project manager or technical delivery manager to run delivery on our existing projects. Our lead delivery manager is going on leave sooner than we expected, so timing is tight. Ideally someone could start asap.
• The engagement

What they'll run:

• A Microsoft Fabric data project covering a lakehouse, several data domains, and governance and data quality workstreams, and Data AI Agents
• An automation and applications portfolio of Appian workflow projects, Azure integrations and an agentic AI build, delivered mainly through two external development partners

• The role owns delivery: planning, ceremonies, dependencies, risk, status reporting, and holding partners to their commitments. Product managers own scope and priorities, and our architecture lead owns technical decisions. Most of the build capacity is external (with data project being internal), so vendor management is the core of the job.

Must-haves:

• Senior technical project or delivery management across both data and application projects
• A proven track record managing external delivery partners and holding them to quality and schedule
• Experience in financial services or another regulated environment
• Comfort delivering without owning scope, working through product owners and technical leads
• Strong Jira skills and clear, honest executive reporting
• Nice-to-haves
• Microsoft Azure and Fabric, Appian or other enterprise low-code platforms
• Experience delivering AI or automation projects
