About the Role
We're looking for an organised, proactive, technically curious Technical Project Coordinator to bridge the gap between Product Managers, Producers, and our Platform & Data Services (PDS) team.
You'll work closely with the Head of PDS and our developers to turn high-level requirements into clear, actionable Jira tasks, coordinate priorities, track progress and ensure work moves efficiently through development to delivery.
You'll also be a central point of communication, maintaining visibility across projects, identifying blockers, and keeping stakeholders informed without creating unnecessary administrative work for developers.
You don't need to be a developer, but you should understand software development terminology and be comfortable discussing APIs, databases, backend systems and integrations with technical teams.
What You'll Be Doing
Project & Task Coordination
- Work with Product Managers, Producers and technical leads to understand requirements and translate them into detailed Jira tasks and subtasks.
- Ensure tasks have clear descriptions, acceptance criteria, dependencies and ownership.
- Coordinate task allocation with technical leads, considering developer skills, availability and priorities.
- Track progress, identify blockers and escalate risks that could affect delivery.
- Coordinate development handovers, testing, and QA before signing off work.
Jira & Workflow Management
- Maintain accurate Jira boards, backlogs, task statuses and project documentation.
- Support the team's Kanban workflow, ensuring work is properly tracked from request through to delivery.
- Maintain visibility of workloads, milestones, dependencies and upcoming releases.
- Identify opportunities to improve workflows, reporting and reduce administrative overhead.
