Technical Project Manager / Delivery Manager (m/w)
Pensum: 100%
Start: immediately or by appointment
Duration: unlimited
Location: Urdorf
About the role
We are looking for a Technical Project Manager with a strong software engineering background to help drive our ongoing software modernization journey.
Our environment consists of multiple mid-sized software solutions with complex interdependencies. As we replace legacy systems, reduce technical debt, and introduce modern technologies and new products, we need someone who can maintain technical and organizational overview across initiatives.
This role combines project leadership, technical understanding, and solution thinking. You will operate at the intersection of engineering, architecture, and business - ensuring that projects deliver sustainable technical solutions rather than isolated implementations.
This is not a traditional administrative PM role. We are looking for someone who understands software systems deeply and can actively guide technical decisions while ensuring structured delivery. Your focus will be on building sustainable systems, not just project completion.

Required Experience
Strong background in software development (former developer or engineer)
Solid understanding of software architecture, system integration, and distributed systems
Ability to understand codebases and technical trade-offs without necessarily coding daily
Experience working across multiple teams / initiatives
Experience working with modern software development practices (Agile, DevOps, CI/CD) are a strong plus
Desired Skills
Background as Technical Lead, Solution Architect, or Engineering Lead
Experience balancing delivery pressure with long-term technical quality
Strong analytical and systems thinking mindset
Comfortable operating in partially evolving or ambiguous environments
