Senior Technical Project Manager / Agile Lead

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Technical Project Manager to serve as the operational backbone of our development team. Currently, our process lacks the rigor needed to scale—tasks are disappearing, features are poorly defined, and bugs are reaching production. You will implement and enforce a formal Agile methodology that brings radical transparency and accountability to our React/MongoDB environment. You are the "Mission Commander" who ensures we ship high-quality code, on time, every time.

Core Responsibilities

• Agile Transformation: Transition the team from ad-hoc development to a disciplined Agile/Scrum framework. Lead Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, and Retrospectives.
• Technical Requirement Engineering: Own the creation of Technical Requirement Documents (TRDs). Translate product vision into granular tickets with strict Acceptance Criteria (AC). Ensure no vague tickets enter a sprint.
• Rigorous Task Tracking: Maintain full ownership of Jira/Linear. Ensure every developer's task is tracked, updated daily, and aligned with CST milestones.
• Quality Assurance Oversight: Oversee the QA flow and personally sign off on releases in the staging environment. Halt releases if basic bugs are found.
• Predictable Velocity: Implement story-pointing and velocity tracking to fix estimation gaps. Ensure deadlines are realistic and strictly met.

Required Technical Fluency

• React Context: Ability to discuss component hierarchy, state management, and frontend dependencies
• MongoDB Context: Understanding of NoSQL document structures and how they relate to application logic
• SDLC Governance: Expertise in Gitflow, branching strategies, and CI/CD pipelines

Commitment & Availability

• Full availability during US Central Time (CST) business hours
• Willingness to work extended hours in a high-output role
