Technical Project Manager

We’re on the hunt for a Technical Project Manager who’s ready to take the lead on ambitious digital projects. You’ll steer the full project lifecycle, from early scoping and planning to hands-on delivery, shaping direction, managing budgets, and making sure everything runs smoothly. Working closely with our clients and multi-disciplinary teams, you’ll be right at the heart of system integration work and complex builds. It’s a role for someone who thrives in an agile, collaborative environment and wants to make a real impact through smart thinking, strong leadership, and a drive for continuous improvement.

As a Technical Project Manager at Apadmi, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering new digital products and enhancing existing ones for a diverse mix of clients. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced setting where projects vary in size and complexity, and you’ll work with designers, developers, and strategists to bring ideas to life. We’re passionate about building brilliant products, and we want you to help make that happen.

What you’ll be working on

You’ll lead the delivery of technical projects, working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure successful outcomes across a variety of digital initiatives. You’ll shape project scope, manage delivery, and act as the link between technical and non-technical stakeholders. With a strong focus on planning, communication and continuous improvement, you’ll play a vital role in keeping projects aligned, efficient, and on track.

• Define and shape project scope, objectives, and deliverables to set every project up for success
• Collaborate with Solution Architects and development leads to understand technical solutions and inform accurate planning
• Act as the bridge between technical teams and clients, translating technical risks and challenges into clear, actionable insight
• Work with the resourcing team to ensure projects are staffed appropriately and timelines are realistic
• Create estimates based on project scope and resourcing needs
• Track budgets and report on project financials, including burndown and forecasts
• Proactively manage risks, assumptions, and dependencies — escalating or resolving issues early
• Build strong relationships with internal teams and external stakeholders
• Apply industry best practices, tools and techniques to ensure smooth project execution
• Manage project scope, oversee change requests, and ensure invoicing aligns with agreed Statements of Work

What you’ll bring to the team

You’ll bring solid experience managing complex technical projects, ideally within a digital consultancy or software development environment. You’ll be confident navigating both the technical and human sides of delivery, from understanding architecture and integrations to guiding stakeholders through decisions with clarity and confidence.

• Experience delivering end-to-end technical projects, including large-scale application and system integration work
• Comfortable engaging in solution architecture discussions and reviewing technical documentation to support planning and risk management
• Skilled at translating complex technical concepts into clear language for non-technical stakeholders
• Confident using tools like Jira, Confluence and Certinia to manage delivery and documentation
• Strong understanding of agile delivery practices, with flexibility to adapt to more traditional methods when needed
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills, including senior client partners
• Strategic thinker with a forward-planning mindset and strong attention to detail
• Self-motivated, outcome-focused and able to work independently when needed
• Calm under pressure, with a persistent and solutions-oriented approach
• Organised and reliable, able to manage competing priorities with confidence

Alongside a great range of benefits, we’re a friendly, collaborative community that offers events, activities, opportunities and rewards for our people. You’ll also get access to excellent career development and training through our very own Apadmi Academy.

This role will be based at our Apadmi HQ in Salford Quays although occasional travel to clients may be required.
