Technical Project Manager (Accounting & Data Operations)
Role Overview
We are looking for a Technical Project Manager who thrives at the intersection of Finance and Technology. In this role, you won’t just be moving tickets; you will be the “translator” who converts complex accounting and reporting requirements into actionable technical work items.
You will lead two specialized workstreams—Reporting and Data Migration—ensuring our financial data is migrated accurately and reported accurately. If you can explain the difference between a “Left Join” and a “Journal Entry” without breaking a sweat, you’re in the right place.
Key Responsibilities
- Scrum Mastery: Own and manage the DevOps Scrum board. Facilitate daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives for the Reporting and Data Migration teams.
- Requirement Translation: Work closely with the Finance department and Operations to understand reporting needs. Distill these into detailed User Stories, Acceptance Criteria, and technical tasks.
- Requirements Discovery & Architecture: Proactively partner with departments across the company (Marketing and Operations) to identify needs for new features. You will lead discovery sessions to unearth “the why” behind a request before it becomes a work item.
- Technical Specification Writing: Translate high-level business needs into deep technical specifications. You will work side by side with the development team to define data mappings, logic flows, and UI requirements, ensuring the “Dev” team has no ambiguity when they start a sprint.
- Data Migration Oversight: Project-manage the end-to-end lifecycle of data migration, ensuring data integrity, mapping accuracy, and reconciliation between legacy systems and the new environment.
- Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary point of contact between technical developers and stakeholders, managing expectations and timelines.
- Quality Assurance: Validate that the Reporting team’s output aligns with accounting standards (GAAP/IFRS) before it reaches end users.

Why This Role Matters
Data migration in a financial context is a high-stakes game. One misplaced decimal point during a migration can lead to months of reconciliation headaches. Your ability to apply an “accounting lens” to technical workflows ensures that our systems are not just functional, but fiscally sound.
