Job Description

Senior Technical Project Manager

DataKind

• Reporting to the Vice President, Technology, the Senior Technical Project Manager combines hands-on technical project management with team leadership. • Manage a team of project managers, and drive the development and scaling of mission-critical products. • Own end-to-end delivery of the most complex, high-stakes projects yourself while mentoring other TPMs. • Define and track program-level milestones, deliverables, and success metrics across concurrent projects. • Facilitate cross-functional alignment between product, engineering, data science, and business stakeholders through working sessions, not just status meetings. • Lead critical planning sessions, standups, and retrospectives—facilitating decisions, not just documenting them.

Job Requirements

  • Deep alignment with DataKind's mission and values, and demonstrated commitment to educational equity and data-driven social impact
  • 8+ years managing software/data engineering projects with proven ability to deliver complex initiatives end-to-end
  • 3+ years in a player-coach or team lead role—you've managed/mentored others while still doing significant IC work yourself
  • Comfort with ambiguity and scrappiness—you thrive in lean, mission-driven environments where you need to be flexible and pragmatic
  • Strong technical fluency: Can review technical designs, participate meaningfully in architecture discussions, understand trade-offs between different technical approaches, and debug why projects are stuck
  • 5+ years working directly with engineering teams using modern SDLC practices (CI/CD, Git workflows, API development, microservices)
  • 3+ years working on data engineering, ETL/ELT pipelines, analytics platforms, or data-intensive applications
  • Track record of successful technical product launches—you've taken projects from concept through production
  • Proficiency with project tracking tools (Asana, Jira, Linear, Monday.com) and documentation platforms
  • Exceptional communication skills: Can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, translate business needs to engineers, facilitate difficult trade-off discussions, and write clear documentation
  • Proven ability to deliver multi-quarter projects with cross-functional teams while building processes and standards along the way
  • Coaching mindset: Can develop team members who may not have traditional backgrounds, meeting people where they are and building skills progressively
  • Bias toward action: More comfortable shipping something good than perfecting something forever; knows when to move fast and when to slow down
  • Strong technical judgment: Can assess when technical debt is worth taking, when to push back on scope, and when quality is non-negotiable.

Benefits

  • Flexibility and time off. Enjoy genuine flexibility that goes beyond adjustable hours. We build in shared time off, organization-wide recharge days, bi-weekly meeting-free days, and flexible PTO (with a minimum of 20 vacation days encouraged annually).
  • Comprehensive Wellness Support. We care for your total wellbeing with 100% employer-paid medical, vision, and dental benefits for employees (72% for dependents), a wellness reimbursement program for the activities and purchases that matter to you, and 12 weeks paid parental leave when you need it most.
  • A Culture of Growth. Every team member receives professional development funding each year, alongside mentorship and advancement opportunities. We invest in your future with a 401(k) plan with 5% employer matching.
  • Meaningful Connection. Despite being distributed across time zones, we value being able to come together in person for conferences, strategic planning, and at our annual staff retreat.
  • Living our Values. DataKind is committed to a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment in our day-to-day work and via special initiatives driven by our DEI Steering Committee.
