[Remote] Technical Project Manager

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. kWh Analytics insures the energy transition by providing property insurance and revenue firming products for renewable energy assets, supported by advanced data modeling and risk assessment. The Technical Project Manager will coordinate technical teams across engineering, data science, and underwriting by managing delivery rhythms, removing blockers, overseeing backlogs, improving data operations, and communicating with internal and external stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Run standups, sprint planning, backlog grooming, project check-ins and retrospectives across Engineering and Underwriting
• Track progress and blockers across all active workstreams; surface issues before they become delays
• Own bug tracking and ticket triage, including managing the incoming queue and keeping it from becoming a black hole
• Check in regularly with internal end users to surface friction and unmet needs
• Enforce team policies and process standards, developed alongside the engineering, data science, and underwriting managers
• Scope incoming work; including feature requests, integration tasks, and partner-driven asks; and turn them into well-defined tickets
• Get hands-on when needed: dig into our UI, datasets, and codebase to understand what's actually going on before escalating
• Drive efforts to expand and improve our data, coordinating the logistics of data acquisition, onboarding, and validating new datasets
• Own communication with key external partners on project status and timelines
• Balance engineering capacity with business needs vs. wants when scoping tasks, keeping both long-term goals and short-term issues in view
• Develop deep expertise in our internal data products, tools, and workflows. Own QA/QC for code releases and engineering outputs before they reach production or stakeholders
• Maintain documentation: keep core user guides, decision logs, and project documentation up-to-date and organized
• Prepare concise updates for leadership that cut through the noise

Skills

• 4–8 years in technical project management, program management, or a closely related role
• Engineering fluency. You've worked closely enough with software engineers that you can read the codebase, query a database, poke around a UI to diagnose an issue, and have a meaningful technical conversation without needing it translated. You have a strong comprehension of the software development lifecycle, git, release processes, and the importance of a well designed and well tested codebase. You are capable in python & SQL, and familiar with AWS and Javascript
• Comfortable operating without a complete playbook. You can take a vague ask and turn it into something executable
• Adds structure without rigidity. You know the difference between process that helps a team move faster and process that just creates overhead. You don't just track and report - you ask the right question, flag the real problem, and know when something needs to be escalated versus resolved at your level
• Strong written communication; you keep messaging in email/Slack/Teams actionable and status updates readable
• Excellent organizational skills. You are able to see the big picture, and keep track of all of the workstreams and tasks that must be managed to accomplish company objectives
• TPM experience in insurance, banking, or financial services
• You have both startup and large company experience
• Maybe you've even supported an acquisition or significant organizational integration
• If you've helped a team navigate the 'we just had a huge organizational change, now what?' phase, that's a strong plus

Benefits

• Annual target bonus
• Remote position currently, transitioning to a hybrid role in the future
