The Impact you will have in this role:

Being a member of the Technology Research & Innovation team, the Technical Project Manager will lead operational readiness assessments and governance reviews for complex technology initiatives supporting the Web3 platform and related application ecosystem, ensuring that applications, infrastructure changes, and platform capabilities are sufficiently prepared, compliant, and operationally ready for production enablement. In this role, you will partner across engineering, product, operations, architecture, risk, compliance, and control teams to drive structured readiness reviews, identify gaps, collect and validate required evidence and artifacts, and provide clear visibility into risks, dependencies, and overall readiness status. You will also be expected to bring strong technical curiosity, sound judgment, and a proactive, hands-on approach to learning the environment, engaging stakeholders, and driving issues through resolution in a fast-paced, highly regulated setting.
 

Your Primary Responsibilities:
 

• Own end-to-end delivery of operational readiness assessments for complex applications, platforms, and infrastructure changes, ensuring all required reviews are completed prior to production enablement
• Translate strategic and technical initiatives into structured readiness workplans, identifying critical checkpoints, required artifacts, decision points, and stakeholder dependencies
• Partner closely with application owners, engineering teams, operations, architecture, risk, compliance, and control functions to assess whether solutions are sufficiently prepared, governed, and documented for implementation
• Evaluate current-state readiness across technology, process, support, controls, and operating model considerations; identify gaps and drive remediation back into design, development, or implementation plans when needed
• Serve as the primary point of accountability for readiness-related risks, issues, dependencies, and status reporting, proactively escalating blockers and driving timely resolution
• Lead cross-functional governance reviews, ensuring that all participating teams understand expectations, deliver required evidence, and complete their responsibilities within agreed timelines
• Collect, organize, and validate supporting documentation and operational artifacts needed to demonstrate readiness, compliance, and control alignment
• Prepare and deliver executive-level communications, including readiness summaries, governance updates, risk narratives, dependency views, and decision materials for leadership forums
• Apply strong project and program management discipline to maintain consistent governance, milestone tracking, RAID management, and stakeholder alignment across concurrent workstreams
• Act as an engaged, curious, and hands-on leader who continuously learns the technical landscape, asks the right questions, and drives clarity in ambiguous or evolving environments
• Support change adoption by ensuring that program outcomes are operationally embedded and that ownership, support models, and execution expectations are clearly defined before go-live
• Partner with portfolio and delivery leaders to balance execution rigor, capacity constraints, and shifting business priorities across the broader change portfolio
• Mitigate risk by following established procedures and monitoring controls, spotting key errors and demonstrating strong ethical behavior
