Ahmedabad-based teams are hiring a Technical Project Manager to work in Thaltej on SG Highway and lead delivery for an on-site software development group. This is a full-time, monthly-paid position reporting into the wider engineering organization. It sits within the company's Software Development category, working alongside developers and QA rather than in a standalone project office.
What this role covers
The person in this seat plans work across sprints, keeps stakeholders aligned on what's shipping and when, and translates business requirements into something engineers can actually build against. The team follows Agile methodologies, so a fair share of the week goes into sprint ceremonies, though the job leans less on running meetings and more on making sure nothing important gets lost between them. If a client asks midway through a sprint whether a reporting feature can be pulled forward a week, this person has to answer honestly, check with the developers building it, and come back with a number that holds.
- Own the project schedule and adjust it as scope, dependencies, or team capacity shift
- Coordinate between developers, QA, and business stakeholders so requirements don't get reinterpreted midway through a sprint
- Flag risks and blockers early enough that they can actually be managed, not just reported after the fact
- Report progress to leadership and clients in a format each side can use without extra translation
- Maintain project documentation, from scope notes to retrospectives, so decisions stay traceable later
Some weeks are packed with releases and client check-ins. Others go mostly to planning ahead. Both are part of the job, and candidates who prefer a steadier week-to-week rhythm should factor that in before applying.
Qualifications and experience
Naukri Mitra is listing this role on behalf of the hiring company, and candidates should expect a bachelor's degree as the baseline. The hiring team isn't strict about the exact major, but most people who succeed in this seat come from an engineering, computing, or applied-technology background, since the job needs enough technical grounding to have real conversations with engineers about what's actually feasible. That grounding matters day to day: a project manager who can't tell the difference between a two-hour fix and a two-week one ends up promising the wrong thing to a client. Alongside the degree, the company wants 24 months of hands-on project management experience in a software development setting; this isn't an entry-level opening, and someone straight out of a general management role without prior exposure to sprint-based delivery would likely struggle with the pace.
Skills that matter here
These are the core skills the hiring team is screening for.
- Project planning: sequencing work, setting realistic milestones, and adjusting the plan without losing the original commitments
- Enough technical understanding to judge what's realistically doable in a sprint, not just what's being asked for
- Stakeholder management, including keeping clients informed clearly when a timeline gets compressed
- Working knowledge of Agile methodologies, applied in practice rather than strictly by the book
A PMP or CSM certification isn't required, but it strengthens an application, and so does hands-on experience with tools like Jira and Confluence. Some familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure is useful too, since delivery timelines on this team are often shaped by infrastructure dependencies outside the project manager's direct control. Candidates who've previously managed a mixed team of in-house developers and external contractors tend to pick up the coordination side of this role faster, though it isn't a strict requirement.
Where the work happens
This is an on-site position based in Thaltej, one of Ahmedabad's established commercial stretches along SG Highway, and the team works from the office rather than remotely. Commute times from most of west Ahmedabad stay reasonable given how close the office sits to the SG Highway corridor, which is worth weighing for anyone comparing technical project manager jobs in Thaltej (SG Highway), Ahmedabad against options further into the city center. The office itself runs standard weekday hours, with occasional adjustment around release dates when a later evening or an earlier start makes more sense than a fixed schedule.
Compensation and benefits
The role pays up to ₹74,500 a month, in line with typical technical project manager salary figures in Ahmedabad for someone at this experience level. Beyond the paycheck, the benefits cover the basics most candidates ask about first.
- Medical coverage for the employee
- A set allowance of paid leave days each year
- Employer contributions toward a provident fund account
- An in-house cafeteria, since the office doesn't have much nearby for a quick lunch
- A company-arranged pickup and drop service, useful given the SG Highway commute
None of these are unusual for a full-time on-site role at this level in Ahmedabad, but they're worth confirming during the offer stage since exact terms can vary by employer within the same posting category.
Team and day-to-day
The engineering group this role sits within is small enough that the project manager knows every developer's current workload by name, not just by dashboard. Client-facing updates happen at least weekly, and during release weeks that cadence tightens. Anyone stepping into this seat should be comfortable owning a status conversation even when the news in it isn't good, since that's a routine part of the week rather than an exception. Over time, the role also tends to take on more direct involvement in scoping new work before it's even quoted to a client, which is where the technical background starts to matter as much as the coordination skills do.
Growth in the role
There's no fixed timeline attached to advancement here, but a project manager who handles two or three release cycles cleanly usually starts getting pulled into earlier-stage planning conversations, including estimation and client scoping calls that happen before a project is formally kicked off. That's generally the path toward taking on larger or multiple concurrent projects rather than a title change on its own.
Applying
Candidates should come ready to walk through a past project where scope changed mid-stream, since that's usually where the real evaluation happens in the interview. Bringing a concrete example of a schedule that had to be renegotiated, and how that conversation with the client actually went, tends to say more than a general description of experience. This posting is one of several technical project manager job openings in Ahmedabad currently active, and shortlisted applicants can generally expect the process to move within a couple of weeks of applying.
