The Technical Project Manager will plan, establish, and manage technical projects and will serve as a liaison between the business and technical aspects of assigned projects. They align projects with customer needs and requirements, construct detailed work plans, achieve milestones, and communicate the results across a stakeholder audience. They organize projects with the goal of getting them completed on time and within budget.
While the projects they work on might be different than construction or manufacturing project managers, technical project managers work on similar day-to-day operations as anyone managing a project.
That means that technical project managers must first be leaders with a vision for the project, helping to persuade and motivate the team. They need to assemble the team and brainstorm with them throughout the various project phases.
