Senior Technical Project Manager
Who You Are
You've been in the war room. You know what it feels like when hundreds of servers are down, the C-suite is watching, legal and insurance are on the line, and the clock is running. And you know how to lead through it.
You don't just manage projects, you command recoveries. When a large-scale ransomware incident hits an enterprise environment, you're the one building the master plan, sequencing the workstreams, and making the real-time calls that keep everything moving in the right direction. You translate "lateral movement on these hosts" into a prioritized restoration roadmap before the next executive briefing, and you do it without breaking a sweat.
You're as comfortable challenging a technical assumption with a forensics team as you are delivering a strategic update to a CEO. You've learned that at this level, the work doesn't fit in with a nine-to-five, and you stopped expecting it to a long time ago. You're wired for high stakes, and the complexity that overwhelms others is exactly where you thrive.
Why You Matter
You'll be joining MOXFIVE as a Senior Technical Project Manager, leading restoration efforts for the largest, most complex cybersecurity incidents we handle.
These aren't straightforward engagements. We're talking about hundreds of impacted systems, intricate application dependencies, multiple concurrent workstreams, and organizations whose futures can hinge on how fast and how well they recover. The clients in these situations don't just need someone to track tasks, they need a leader who can think strategically, communicate with authority, and drive alignment when everything is moving at once.
That's you. Your ability to bring order to enterprise-scale chaos isn't just operationally important - it's the difference between a recovery that holds and one that unravels.
What You'll Do
Lead end-to-end restoration project management for large-scale enterprise incidents involving hundreds of systems and complex dependencies
Serve as the strategic point of contact for C-suite executives, legal counsel, insurance carriers, and technical partners throughout critical engagements
Build and maintain comprehensive restoration roadmaps, master server trackers, dependency maps, and executive dashboards that give every stakeholder a clear picture
Independently analyze server tiering, application dependencies, and restoration sequencing to drive smart priority decisions - not just document them
Coordinate across multiple concurrent workstreams: technical teams, forensics investigators, clients, legal counsel, and external partners
Make real-time calls on resource allocation, priority shifts, and approach changes as incident conditions evolve
Lead war room discussions and executive briefings with clarity, confidence, and realistic timelines
Challenge technical assumptions when the situation calls for it and drive alignment across stakeholder groups with competing priorities
Mentor Technical and Incident Project Managers, and contribute to MOXFIVE's restoration methodology and process development
