Technical Project / Product Manager AWS

AWS Migration Oversight | Remote (EU time zone)

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Technical Project / Product Manager to support a large-scale AWS migration program that is already underway. This is a hands-on oversight role focused on transparency, coordination, and quality assurance in a complex technical delivery environment.

You'll act as an operational extension of the internal Product / Project Lead-providing visibility into progress, identifying risks early, and ensuring migration activities meet agreed standards and expectations.

This role sits between Product Management and Project Management: it's not about owning a roadmap or features, and not a pure PMO role. It's about making sure things are thought through, followed up, and delivered with quality.

What You'll Do

  • Act as the "eyes and ears" for the internal Product Lead across AWS migration activities

  • Monitor progress, risks, dependencies, and follow-up on agreed actions and checklists

  • Work closely with migration leads, delivery teams, and external vendors

  • Review and challenge Jira epics and tickets from a business and quality perspective

  • Ensure clear, decision-ready reporting on status, risks, and next steps

  • Perform spot checks on technical and procedural due diligence

  • Escalate risks, gaps, and quality concerns early

  • Represent the Product Lead in selected meetings when required

What You Bring

Must-have

  • Strong experience in technical Product Management or Project Management roles

  • Solid understanding of IT and cloud environments (AWS preferred)

  • Experience working in agile delivery setups

  • Confidence communicating with technical teams without needing to be a deep specialist

  • Strong stakeholder coordination and follow-up skills

  • Hands-on, detail-oriented mindset

  • Experience working with Jira

  • Fluent English

Nice-to-have

  • Experience in large-scale migration or transformation programs

  • Experience working with multiple external vendors

  • Background in enterprise or regulated environments

Working Model

  • 100% remote

  • Core collaboration in EU working hours

  • Distributed delivery teams across Europe, India, and the US

  • Focus on operational stakeholders (no executive-level stakeholder management)

Contract Details

  • Full-time capacity (100%)

  • Initial contract until June 2026, with strong likelihood of extension
