Technical Project Manager

AWS Migration Oversight | Remote (EU time zone)

We're looking for an experienced Technical Project / Product Manager to support a large-scale AWS migration program that is already underway. This is a hands-on oversight role focused on transparency, coordination, and quality assurance in a complex technical delivery environment.

You'll act as an operational extension of the internal Product / Project Lead-providing visibility into progress, identifying risks early, and ensuring migration activities meet agreed standards and expectations.

This role sits between Product Management and Project Management: it's not about owning a roadmap or features, and not a pure PMO role. It's about making sure things are thought through, followed up, and delivered with quality.

• Act as the "eyes and ears" for the internal Product Lead across AWS migration activities

• Monitor progress, risks, dependencies, and follow-up on agreed actions and checklists

• Work closely with migration leads, delivery teams, and external vendors

• Review and challenge Jira epics and tickets from a business and quality perspective

• Ensure clear, decision-ready reporting on status, risks, and next steps

• Perform spot checks on technical and procedural due diligence

• Escalate risks, gaps, and quality concerns early

• Represent the Product Lead in selected meetings when required
  
  

Must-have

• Strong experience in technical Product Management or Project Management roles

• Solid understanding of IT and cloud environments (AWS preferred)

• Experience working in agile delivery setups

• Confidence communicating with technical teams without needing to be a deep specialist

• Strong stakeholder coordination and follow-up skills

• Hands-on, detail-oriented mindset

• Experience working with Jira

• Fluent English

Nice-to-have

• Experience in large-scale migration or transformation programs

• Experience working with multiple external vendors

• Background in enterprise or regulated environments
  
  

• 100% remote

• Core collaboration in EU working hours

• Distributed delivery teams across Europe, India, and the US

• Focus on operational stakeholders (no executive-level stakeholder management)
  
  

• Full-time capacity (100%)

• Initial contract until June 2026, with strong likelihood of extension
