Project Technical Lead

Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled professional to lead medium-complexity projects end-to-end—from presales through delivery to operations and CARE—managing integrated solutions across hardware, software, and third-party components, while collaborating with internal teams and customers to define requirements, drive technical execution, and ensure seamless project transitions and long-term support.

How You Will Contribute And What You Will Learn

• Own and manage end-to-end solution lifecycle for medium-complexity projects—from presales to delivery and operations, including hardware, software, and third-party components.
• Collaborate with domain owners and stakeholders to define project milestones, component readiness, and environment availability during the presales and planning phases.
• Gather customer objectives and technical requirements to craft suitable and scalable solution architectures.
• Create and validate Statements of Work (SOWs), ensuring clear scope definition and stakeholder alignment.
• Develop detailed technical delivery plans including entrance/exit criteria, interdependencies, risk analysis, and mitigation strategies.
• Lead design and analysis phases by driving creation of technical deliverables such as solution architecture, high-level design, integration, and validation plans.
• Guide technical project teams during implementation, resolve complex integration issues, and oversee testing and validation activities.
• Act as a technical escalation point throughout delivery and serve as a trusted advisor to customer technical leads.
• Plan and execute the technical handover to operations and CARE teams, ensuring readiness and successful project closure.
  
  

Key Skills And Experience

You have:

• Strong experience in solution architecture and technical delivery for telecom or IT projects.
• Proficiency in managing full lifecycle projects including sizing, BOM creation, and environment planning.
• Expertise in developing and reviewing technical documentation: SOWs, architecture diagrams, and integration plans.
• Solid consultative skills to engage with customers and gather business and technical requirements.
• Strong leadership in guiding project teams through design, implementation, and issue resolution.
• Familiarity with change management processes and technical risk identification/mitigation.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across cross-functional and global teams.
  
  

It would be nice if you also had:

• Exposure to Nokia technologies and ecosystem, including CARE handover practices.
