MCS Group is delighted to be partnering with an innovative Irish SaaS business looking to appoint a Senior Technical Project Manager to join its Product & Engineering function.

Unlike traditional project management roles, this position sits firmly within engineering rather than customer delivery. You'll work alongside engineering and product leaders to drive delivery excellence, improve ways of working and ensure complex technical initiatives are delivered successfully.

If you enjoy bringing structure to fast-moving engineering teams, improving delivery processes and solving cross-functional challenges, this is an opportunity to have a real impact on both the product and the organisation.

The Role...

As Senior Technical Project Manager, you'll become a key member of the Product & Engineering leadership team, helping coordinate large technical initiatives from planning through to delivery.

You'll work closely with engineering managers, product managers and technical leaders to manage dependencies, improve delivery predictability and ensure teams remain focused on delivering value.

You'll also play an important role in driving continuous improvement across engineering, introducing better processes, meaningful delivery metrics and data-driven decision making.

What you'll be doing...

• Lead the delivery of complex technical initiatives across multiple engineering teams.
• Manage cross-team dependencies, risks and priorities.
• Partner with Engineering and Product leaders to improve planning and execution.
• Identify bottlenecks and implement improvements to engineering processes.
• Champion Lean and Agile best practices across the organisation.
• Define and report on key engineering metrics including delivery performance and team health.
• Help translate company objectives into measurable engineering goals and OKRs.
• Create dashboards and reporting that provide clear visibility of project progress.
• Act as the key link between Product & Engineering and the wider business.
• Support resource planning and ensure engineering effort is aligned with business priorities.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence.

About You...

You'll likely come from a background in Technical Project Management, Technical Delivery or Engineering Programme Management and have experience working within modern software engineering teams.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience delivering complex software or SaaS projects.
• A strong understanding of software development lifecycles and Agile delivery.
• Experience working closely with engineering teams and technical stakeholders.
• Excellent organisational and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience managing multiple workstreams and competing priorities.
• A data-driven approach, with experience using KPIs, OKRs and delivery metrics to improve outcomes.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to bridge technical and non-technical teams.
• Experience using Jira or similar project management tools.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to influence how an engineering organisation operates rather than simply managing individual projects.

You'll work alongside experienced Product and Engineering leaders, helping shape delivery practices, improve collaboration and drive the successful execution of large-scale technical initiatives in a growing SaaS business.

If you enjoy solving delivery challenges, enabling engineering teams to perform at their best and making a measurable impact across an organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
