Employment Type: Full-time
Overview
The Senior Technical Project Manager owns end-to-end execution of complex product and engineering projects across MeeruAI's platform, applications, and shared technical initiatives. This is a hands-on delivery role focused on scope, schedule, dependencies, release readiness, and cross-functional coordination rather than broad portfolio or business program management
. This person turns product and engineering priorities into actionable project plans, manages assumptions, constraints, risks, and change control, drives milestones across teams, and helps the organization deliver high-quality Finance and Accounting AI capabilities with clarity and discipline. The role does not own product prioritization, architecture decisions, or people management

- Run project cadences such as kickoff meetings, working sessions, status reviews, issue tracking, and retrospectives.
- Identify delivery risks, blockers, and cross-team dependencies early, maintain clear risk and issue tracking, and escalate with clear options and recommended actions.

- Coordinate test planning, environment readiness, release readiness, deployment planning, and go-live preparation, including QA checkpoints, security and compliance dependencies, documentation, launch criteria, and rollback readiness.
- Maintain clear dashboards, status communications, and decision logs for leadership and core stakeholders.

- Manage scope changes, decision capture, and cross-team tradeoff discussions to keep delivery aligned with timing, quality, and launch expectation

- 7+ years in technical project management or a closely related software delivery role in SaaS, AI, or enterprise software, with a track record that includes at least two major product launches in a 0→1 or high-growth environment.
- Strong track record of delivering complex, multi-team software projects from planning through launch.

- Leadership has an accurate view of delivery status, key risks, and changes that could affect timing or quality.
- Engineering and Product teams stay aligned without unnecessary process overhead or ambiguity in execution ownership.
- Releases are coordinated across testing, environments, dependencies, and launch readiness, with fewer surprises late in the cycle.
