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

Transparent, 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.
