Technical Project Manager(CX/SaaS)

Job Description

We are looking for a strategic, high-energy Technical Project manager to lead our most critical Customer Experience (CX) transformations.

In this capacity, you will work directly with our internal and external development teams to facilitate their ceremonies and manage their output, while simultaneously serving as a core Nielsen leader who partners with senior level stakeholders. You are the operational guardian of the project, ensuring that every task translated to the development teams is rooted in the voice of the client and aligned with Nielsen’s standards for excellence.

- Serve as the primary point of contact for external technology partners, managing professional communications, contract adherence, and service-level agreements (SLAs).

- Maintain real-time transparency into project health, tracking velocity, budget burn rates, and risk logs to provide executive-level updates.

- Continuously refine the CoE’s delivery framework to improve throughput and ensure the seamless integration of new tools into the global support workflow.

- Identify and mitigate blockers, risks, issues, and dependencies that may impact project delivery and escalate to the appropriate stakeholders.

- Coordinate the creation of release management documentation, follow change management procedures, and review post-deployment KPIs

- Act as the vital link between developers and stakeholders. You will interpret the "voice of the client" and ensure it remains the primary driver of the technical implementation.

Working Style:

- Strong task oriented working style

- Ability to think and react quickly; some communications are high priority with tight deadlines
