Project Manager_Data Engineering

Company Name

VARITE India Private Limited

About The Client

Client is an asset-light North American freight and logistics company that provides time-definite, expedited surface transportation as a reliable, cost-effective alternative to shipping cargo by air

About The Job

• We are looking for a hands-on project manager to run day-to-day delivery for our India-based data engineering team.
• Your first priority is not status reporting — it is making sure the knowledge needed to run our data platform is written down, verified, and owned by Client.
• From there you will run triage, planning, and handoffs so the team delivers predictably while production stays stable.

Essential Job Functions

• Lead a structured knowledge-capture effort in your first weeks: batch job inventory, pipeline dependencies, runbooks, known workarounds, failure history, and escalation contacts — documented in Client-owned locations and verified by the US team.
• Run daily triage of production issues, batch failures, and incoming requests, keeping every open item assigned, prioritized, and current in Azure DevOps.
• Plan and track enhancements and projects across sprints or Kanban flow; manage scope, dependencies, and dates with business owners and the US team.
• Coordinate transitions as new engineers join: shadowing plans, handoff checklists, and readiness checks before work changes hands.
• Act as the single front door for questions to US engineers — batching and routing them so the US team can review and unblock without being interrupted continuously.
• Enforce work-item hygiene and the team's QA and production checklists, including business logic validation, not only data-movement checks.
• Produce a concise weekly scorecard: open production items, aging items, deliveries, risks, and transition status.
• Identify delivery risks early and escalate with options, not just problems.

Qualifications

• Strong working knowledge of Azure DevOps boards, backlogs, queries, and dashboards.
• Ability to read and understand data pipelines, SQL, and job dependencies well enough to challenge estimates and spot gaps — you do not need to code daily.
• Track record of producing clear operational documentation and runbooks.
• Experience running production support or incident triage alongside project delivery.
• Excellent written English; able to communicate crisply with US business and technical stakeholders.
• 5–8 years of experience in project management, delivery management, or technical programme management, preferably in a data or software engineering context.

NICE TO HAVE

• Exposure to Azure Databricks, Azure Data Factory, or Talend environments.
• Experience in logistics, transportation, or supply chain.
• Experience leading a team through a vendor or platform transition.
• PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent project management certification.

KEY COMPETENCIES

• Azure DevOps
• Operational Documentation
• Production Triage
• Stakeholder Communication
• Risk Management
• Knowledge Management

EDUCATION

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Engineering, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
