Technical Project Manager - Swish Analytics

Company Description

Swish Analytics is a sports analytics, betting and fantasy startup building the next generation of predictive sports analytics data products. We believe that oddsmaking is a challenge rooted in engineering, mathematics, and sports betting expertise; not intuition. We're looking for team-oriented individuals with an authentic passion for accurate and predictive real-time data who can execute in a fast-paced, creative, and continually-evolving environment without sacrificing technical excellence. Our challenges are unique, so we hope you are comfortable in uncharted territory and passionate about building systems to support products across a variety of industries and enterprise clients.

This position is 100% Remote

We are looking for a Director of Project Management to build the operational backbone that makes coordinated delivery possible across Swish. This is a build role, not a maintenance role. You will own how work gets planned, prioritized, tracked, and delivered across the company, and you will lead the cross-functional programs that no single department can deliver alone.

This is a senior leadership hire. You will lead our PMO, set the standard for the function, and partner directly with founders and department heads. Success is measured by whether the organization executes against its goals with predictability and visibility — not by process for its own sake.

What you'll own

Cross-functional program leadership - Direct ownership of the programs that span Trading, Engineering, Data Science, and Data Engineering. You are the single accountable owner for delivery across team boundaries on these programs, including dependencies, sequencing, risk, and the tradeoff decisions when priorities collide.

The operating system for delivery - Own and evolve the frameworks that let the company plan and execute coherently — intake, prioritization, change management, project lifecycle, definition of done, and release cadence. The goal is a system the teams internalize and run themselves, not a process the PMO has to police.

Delivery coordination and predictability - Establish the cadence, instrumentation, and reporting that make work visible from company strategy down to individual execution. Surface risks early. Make reprioritization a deliberate, logged decision rather than a silent one.

Delivery maturity across the org - Teams across Swish operate at different levels of delivery discipline. You will set the bar, point to what already works well internally, and partner with department heads to raise the standard everywhere — through influence and demonstrated value rather than mandate.

Team leadership - Lead, develop, and grow the PMO. Set the behavioral and craft bar for the function, coach toward a standard, calibrate across the team, and build the bench.
