Project Management Lead

Experience : 2 – 15 years (mix of Junior, Mid, Senior)

Function : Horizontal PMO / Project Management Center of Excellence (supports all tracks : Automotive, IoT, Wireless Edge, Smart Devices)

Locations : Hyderabad / Bangalore

Employment type : Full-time

The PM function will operate as a horizontal, shared service (PMO / Center of Excellence). PMs will not only run individual projects but also standardize delivery processes, maintain governance, allocate a shared pool of PM resources across programs, own cross-project reporting, and drive continuous improvement, training and tooling across VotaryTech’s engineering tracks. This ensures consistent delivery quality, efficient resource utilization, and faster capability building across the company

• Shared resource management : Maintain a PM pool, perform cross-project prioritization, reallocate PM capacity dynamically to meet business priorities, and enable fast ramp-up for new programs.
• PMO & governance : Create and enforce standard delivery frameworks (hybrid Agile for embedded, release gating, sign-off templates), and run governance cadences (lead steering committees, escalation matrix).
• Central reporting & metrics : Own company-wide program dashboards, EVM (earned value), SLA compliance, utilization metrics, and executive summaries for leadership.
• Standardisation & best practices : Build templates, playbooks, risk registers, change control processes and KB for embedded / IoT program delivery. Promote reuse across teams.
• Capability building & training : Design and run internal PM upskilling (execution on embedded programs, budget modeling, technical fluency for firmware / Linux / SoC projects) and mentor junior PMs.
• Tooling & automation : Own PM tooling standards (Jira / Confluence templates, automation for reporting, test / CI gating), and work with Business Ops / Finance to integrate budgeting and resource data.
• Cross-functional liaison : Work closely with Engineering Leads, QA, Finance, HR / TA and Sales / BD to align on priorities, onboarding, vendor management and commercial impacts.
• Delivery & escalation : Lead delivery for assigned programs, manage risks, negotiate scope / commercials, and serve as escalation point for cross-project conflicts
• Proven experience managing embedded / IoT / wireless / automotive programs and running PMO / CoE activities or shared services.
• Strong skills in resource pooling, cross-project prioritization, governance, and central reporting .
• Comfortable in a matrix organization and balancing functional (CoE) responsibilities with program ownership.
• Domain fluency (C / C++, Linux, SoC vendors, wireless stacks) is strongly preferred so PMs can meaningfully challenge and partner with engineering leads.
• Strong in stakeholder management (clients and internal leadership) and in designing repeatable delivery processes.
• Degree in Engineering or equivalent;

PM certifications (PMP / Prince2 / Agile) are a plus.
