We are looking for an experienced, highly organized Senior Technical Project Manager to join our RD organization. This is a strategic and operational role at the heart of our product development lifecycle: you will own the end-to-end planning and delivery of software releases, lead cross-functional coordination between RD, QA, DevOps, and Product, and take responsibility for the health of our release process as a whole.

You will work closely with RD leadership, team leads, and product managers (from different global locations) - driving major releases independently, mentoring more junior project managers/coordinators, and shaping the methodologies and tools the whole department uses. This position is based in Madrid, Spain (working in a hybrid model)

• Risk Change Management: Manage risks and mitigation plans, and manage scope/schedule changes with minimal disruption.
• Reporting Executive Visibility: Build and own release dashboards, status reports, and go/no-go decision materials using tools such as Jira, Confluence, and AI tools; present plan and status to all relevant stakeholders, including senior leadership.
• Metrics Continuous Improvement: Measure and analyze project metrics to foster a continuous improvement culture; run post-release retrospectives, document lessons learned, and drive organization-wide process improvements.
• Process Ownership Methodology: Define, implement, and continuously improve project and release management processes, templates, and standards across the RD organization - not just for your own releases.
