CarteNav Solutions , a PAL company, is an international leader in situational awareness solutions for the maritime, land, and air environments. We deliver leading-edge software solutions that support mission-critical operations for government and defense customers. We're looking for a Technical Project Manager to join our growing team—someone who can move fluently between the discipline of formal program management and the rhythm of agile software delivery.

As a Technical Project Manager, you'll be the bridge between our software engineering teams and our customers, translating technical progress into business confidence and business requirements into technical plans. You’ll own the planning, coordination, and execution of complex software delivery projects. You'll also influence delivery best practices and help shape the future of how we scale and operate.

What You'll Do

Own end-to-end delivery of complex, technical projects from kickoff through deployment and acceptance
Develop project plans, risks, budgets, and deliverables, while managing the formal schedules, budgets, and reporting requirements
Translate customer and contractual requirements into clear technical specifications and actionable plans that engineering teams can execute against
Ensure deliverables meet contractual, security, and compliance requirements, including export control, documentation, and acceptance testing obligations
Represent the project delivery function in leadership planning and customer engagements
Serve as the primary point of contact as a trusted advisor to customers and senior stakeholders
Coordinate efforts across engineering, QA, product, and support teams to keep priorities aligned and dependencies visible
Drive continuous improvement of delivery practices, tooling, and templates across the project management function
Support proposal development and project estimation for new opportunities

What We're Looking For

7+ years of experience in project management, with meaningful time spent managing software delivery
Experience managing projects for government, defense, or other highly regulated customers
Technical fluency — comfortable in conversations about architecture, integrations, and the software development lifecycle, even without a hands-on engineering background
Proven ability to manage large-scale software initiatives, within a multi-stakeholder technical environment
Proficiency with project management delivery tools like Jira, Microsoft Planner, Azure DevOps, or similar
Clear, precise written and verbal communication, including formal status reporting and documentation
Eligible to obtain and maintain a government security clearance, or ability to meet applicable export control and citizenship requirements
PMP, Agile, or similar certifications are preferred

Nice to Have

Experience with defense, aerospace, or public sector procurement processes
Familiarity with regulatory or safety-critical software standards
Experience mentoring or leading other project managers

Why Join Us?

Work on software that supports real, high-stakes missions for government and defense customers
Sit at the intersection of technical delivery and customer strategy, with real influence over how projects get built
Join a global team that values clarity, ownership, and getting the details right
Advance your career in a forward-thinking environment

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is passionate about creating great software, cares about client engagements, and takes pride in successful project delivery. If you're an experienced project leader ready to help deliver mission-critical software and shape how we work—let’s talk.

What We Offer:

Comprehensive health benefits including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
Pension Plan with employer matching
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Tuition Assistance Program
Personal travel privileges with PAL and interline agreements with multiple airlines
Employee and Family Assistance Program
Industry discounts (hotels, rental cars, etc.)
