Technical Project Manager

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Technical Project Manager based in Switzerland.

Join a globally distributed technology organization where you will drive critical IT and Information Security initiatives across multiple technical and business teams. In this hands-on role, you will coordinate projects from initial planning through implementation and operational handover, ensuring clear ownership, priorities, and measurable outcomes. You will play a key role in advancing security improvements, coordinating vulnerability remediation, and ensuring critical actions are completed on time. By consolidating information across multiple Jira environments, you will turn fragmented project data into actionable insights that support better decision-making. You will collaborate closely with IT, Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, and Platform/DevOps teams in a fast-paced, international environment. This is an opportunity to take ownership, improve delivery processes, and make a meaningful impact on technology operations and organizational security.

- Maintain clear visibility of risks, issues, dependencies, decisions, and commitments across distributed teams.

- Clarify ownership, facilitate prioritization, and resolve coordination challenges when teams have competing demands.

- Deliver concise management updates focused on progress, trends, exceptions, risks, and decisions requiring attention.

- Establish practical project governance and delivery processes that strengthen accountability without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.
