Technical Project Manager Apply Online The Technical Project Manager handles several clients simultaneously. Organizing project information such as requirements, statuses, and schedules while having it available to report out to internal and external stakeholders. Technical know-how and creative problem solving go hand in hand. Having the knowledge of how our products work together along with technical fundamentals such as database technologies and application architecture is essential to proposing solutions and workflows for our clients. Outside and diverse perspectives are highly valued as we look to draw on our partners' and colleagues' experiences to find the right tool or solution for the job at hand. Where do Technical Project Managers come from? All sorts of career paths. Project management is the most important responsibility for this role. That does not necessarily mean we are looking for candidates that are PMP certified or have a Project Manager title in their resume. That experience and qualification is certainly helpful though! Software Engineers or Architects that have leadership experience or are ready to take that next step have been successful in this role. We are looking for team members that can embrace a leadership opportunity and drive project success across several functional organizations. Having a background in business fundamentals, strategy, operations, management, and consulting are valuable as well. We are part of something bigger than ourselves at Tyler. We are making government more effective and efficient in how they run their local public safety systems. What we do saves taxpayers money and provides more access to justice for everyone.
