About The Role

Supernova is seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager to lead release management for our Data Technology team.

The successful candidate will combine hands-on technical project management with a solid understanding of software delivery, ensuring every release moves from planning to production smoothly and predictably.


Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end release management process for the Data Technology team, from release planning through deployment and post-release review.
  • Define and manage release scope, working with engineering leads and product management to prioritize features, fixes, and technical work included in each release.
  • Develop, maintain, and communicate detailed release plans and schedules, coordinating dependencies across cross-functional teams and tracking progress against release milestones.
  • Adapt and enhance our internal release tool to build a more automated, reliable release pipeline, partnering with engineering to identify gaps and implement improvements.
  • Identify and manage release dependencies, risks, and critical paths, adjusting plans as needed to protect release dates and quality.
  • Coordinate release readiness activities, including code freeze, testing sign-off, deployment checklists, and rollback planning.
  • Provide regular updates on release status, blockers, and risks to stakeholders, with clear plans to address issues as they surface.
  • Lead release retrospectives and champion continuous improvement, incorporating learnings into future release cycles and pipeline enhancements.
  • Utilize knowledge of cloud infrastructure, especially AWS, to communicate effectively with technical teams on deployment and pipeline requirements.
  • Foster a team environment that promotes collaboration, open communication, and problem-solving.


Qualifications

  • 4 years of technical project management experience in a technology or SaaS company, with direct experience in release management or software delivery.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Business, or a related field.
  • Proven track record managing releases or deployments in a cloud environment; AWS familiarity is a plus.
  • Experience working with release tooling, CI/CD pipelines, or deployment automation; experience adapting or improving internal tools is strongly preferred.
  • Comprehensive understanding of project management principles, methodologies, and best practices.
  • Outstanding organizational, leadership, and communication skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, managing multiple releases with varied timelines.
  • Knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies is preferred.
  • Strong problem-solving abilities and capacity to work under tight deadlines.
