Technical Project Manager (USA)

About the Role

DroneShield is seeking a Technical Project Manager to lead execution of complex customer deployments, demonstrations, and operational delivery efforts, while supporting larger technical programs under the direction of the Technical Program Manager. This role is execution-focused with real ownership — responsible for driving planning, coordination, and execution across multiple concurrent efforts at varying levels of maturity. Many activities do not arrive as fully defined projects, and priorities can evolve based on customer requirements, operational constraints, and resource availability. Success is achieved through judgement, coordination, and action — not through rigid process alone. Working across global teams, this role acts as the central coordination point between Sales, Field Service Engineers (FSEs), Engineering, Logistics, and Operations to ensure delivery outcomes are achieved in dynamic, high-stakes environments.

This role is well suited to someone who:

• Enjoys ownership, ambiguity, and practical problem-solving
• Builds strong working relationships across technical, operational, and commercial teams
• Is comfortable working directly with senior leadership and operating with high visibility
• Actively resolves issues and keeps delivery moving

This role will energize candidates who value ownership, variety, and real operational impact. It will not suit those seeking predictability or tightly bounded projects.

Responsibilities, Duties and Expectations 

• You will own and drive project outcomes through live deployments, demonstrations, and customer engagements.
• Drive day-to-day execution, tracking progress against milestones and ensuring work stays on schedule and aligned to objectives
• Assist with resource planning and alignment across field and technical teams
• Proactively identify, assess, and manage risks, issues, and dependencies, escalating where required to maintain project momentum
• Support the Technical Program Manager by executing assigned workstreams within larger programmatic initiatives
• Coordinate across globally distributed teams and time zones, ensuring seamless communication and execution continuity
• Participate in customer meetings, project briefings, and internal coordination forums
• Ensure delivery activities align with safety, quality, export, and site compliance requirements
• Drive resolution of execution challenges by removing blockers and aligning stakeholders
• Identify opportunities to improve project execution, tools, and coordination practices

What you will be working on

• Multiple concurrent customer activities at different stages of maturity
• Domestic and international delivery coordination across time zones, including periodic out-of-hours engagement to support customer delivery
• Evolving customer requirements and operational priorities
• Live operational environments where delivery outcomes matter

You will see the direct impact of your work through real deployments, demonstrations, and customer engagements.
