A Technical Project Manager (TPM) is a skilled professional in charge of supervising and ensuring the successful completion of technology-related projects, while maintaining a high standard of quality. The projects are guided by the strategic framework established by TSI-COO-SPR directives.

The role also involves a mix of Amadeus business knowledge, technical expertise, project management skills, and leadership abilities to drive and lead the IT projects by ensuring their deliveries meet specified requirements.

  • Technical Expertise: Strong background in IT and deep understanding of the IT technologies and various related topics (e.g cloud architecture, Azure, Kubernetes, Network, Redundancy, Automation, CISO, CI/CD...) and systems relevant to the managed projects.

  • Project Management: TPM is responsible for defining project scope, objectives, and deliverables. They create project plans, set timelines and roadmaps, allocate resources, and establish budgets.

  • Documentation: TPM maintain comprehensive project documentation, including project plans, status reports, meeting minutes, and change requests. This documentation is vital for project transparency, communication, and knowledge transfer.
  • Continuous improvement: a key aspect of TPM responsibilities. Following project completion, TPM frequently carries out post-project assessments to pinpoint lessons learned and opportunities for enhancement. They leverage these insights to refine forthcoming project management procedures and methodologies.
