Example job description

Original example written by FairCV on October 6, 2026. It is not an employer job ad.

Technical project manager, platform migration

Brightline Systems is hiring a technical project manager for a platform migration. The posting asks for project governance (PMP or CSM), delivery in Agile, Scrum, or Kanban, and budget management in the $1 million to $5 million range. You will lead a cross-functional team and keep a risk register and mitigation log that engineering actually updates.

The system of record is Jira Software and Confluence. Stakeholder management includes a weekly executive milestone report. The work sits on the software development lifecycle (SDLC), and scope creep management is called out because the last migration slipped when side requests landed mid-sprint.

Wage note from the Handbook

The Handbook lists median pay of $102,320 in May 2025. The same page lists the 10th percentile at $61,580 and the 90th percentile at $167,970.

⚠️Common Mistakes for Technical Project Managers

  • ×Omitting project budget values (recruiters need to know financial scale).
  • ×Describing meetings attended rather than milestones and deadlines successfully hit.
  • ×Failing to mention industry certifications (PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, PRINCE2).

✓Hiring Manager Recommendations

  • ✓Put your PMP or CSM credential right in your name header (e.g. "Marcus Sterling, PMP, CSM").
  • ✓Quantify budgets managed, team headcount, and milestone delivery rates.
  • ✓List project management tools explicitly: Jira, Confluence, Linear, MS Project, Smartsheet.
