National Retail Solutions (NRS) is a leading provider of point-of-sale, payment, and digital solutions to tens of thousands of independent retailers across the United States and Canada. Processing millions of transactions daily across a rapidly growing network of high-volume retail terminals, NRS generates massive volumes of operational data.

To empower our retailers and internal teams with instant insights, NRS is building a state-of-the-art, high-throughput Real-Time Reporting Engine powered by ClickHouse. This strategic initiative involves modernizing our data infrastructure, building scalable analytical pipelines, and delivering sub-second reporting dashboards for large-scale transaction datasets.

We are seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager (Data & Reporting Platform) based in Minsk to join our distributed engineering team. In this role, you will lead the end-to-end delivery of our core ClickHouse real-time reporting platform, coordinating cross-functional efforts across backend engineers (Golang/Node.js/PHP), database architects, data engineers, QA, and frontend developers (Vue.js).

The ideal candidate possesses strong technical project management fundamentals, a solid grasp of data systems/ETL workflows, and naturally leverages AI workflows (Claude, Gemini) to optimize sprint planning, write technical specifications, streamline documentation, and track technical deliverables.

This role requires 3 days a week in-office work at our Minsk office facility to collaborate in person with our engineering team, along with regular remote collaboration with teams in Israel and the U.S.

Responsibilities:

Program Execution & Technical Project Delivery

  • Lead end-to-end project execution for our ClickHouse real-time reporting platform, managing schedules, sprint backlogs, dependency mapping, and technical milestones.

  • Partner closely with backend developers, data engineers, and UI teams to plan and execute high-throughput data pipelines, data aggregation flows, and reporting API deployments.

  • Manage technical risks, identify pipeline bottlenecks, resolve execution blockers, and establish clear criteria for platform stability and performance testing.

  • Act as a technical bridge between Product Management, System Architects, and Engineering teams to translate complex reporting requirements into clear user stories and technical tasks.

  • Leverage modern AI productivity tools (Claude, Gemini) to accelerate sprint documentation, analyze project risks, summarize technical alignment meetings, and draft comprehensive project specs.

  • Metrics, Stakeholder Management & Status Reporting

    • Establish and maintain KPIs, execution velocity metrics, and project health dashboards in Jira/Confluence.

    • Provide weekly progress updates to senior leadership, including the VP of Technology, CTO, and key business stakeholders.

    • Oversee SLA requirements, data delivery timelines, and release readiness checklists across global teams.

    • Organize and facilitate cross-functional release management, ensuring smooth rollouts with zero downtime for reporting services.

    • Data Integrations & Cross-Team Collaboration

      • Oversee data integration initiatives with third-party platforms, external data feeds, and internal microservices.

      • Understand partner technical specifications, API structures, data schema expectations, and support escalation paths.

      • Lead Agile ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Backlog Grooming, Retrospectives) for distributed engineering groups across time zones.

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of Technical Project Management experience leading complex software development or data engineering initiatives.

  • Proven Data & Platform Project Management Experience: Hands-on experience delivering projects focused on databases, business intelligence (BI), analytics, ETL/data pipelines, or high-throughput reporting systems.

  • Agile & Jira Mastery: Advanced proficiency in Jira (Scrum/Kanban management, roadmapping, custom workflows, automation) and Confluence documentation.

  • Strong AI Integration Capabilities: A habitual and demonstrated workflow using AI assistants (Claude, Gemini) to optimize project planning, write specifications, summarize requirements, and improve delivery velocity.

  • Technical Understanding of Systems Architecture: Solid conceptual understanding of microservices, REST/gRPC APIs, SQL/database architectures, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud environments (AWS).

  • Scope & Risk Management: Proven ability to manage technical debt, negotiate scope trade-offs with product owners, and clear complex engineering blockers independently.

  • Cross-Functional & International Experience: Exceptional team leadership skills with experience working alongside global teams in the U.S. and Israel.
  • Strong Communication: Excellent spoken and written English, comfortable facilitating technical design discussions and executive briefings.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience managing projects involving ClickHouse or other columnar/OLAP data stores (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).

  • Background in managing high-availability, low-latency financial, transaction, or POS reporting environments.

  • Familiarity with data visualization tools or reporting dashboards (Grafana, Tableau, Metabase, custom Vue.js dashboards).
  • PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM (Certified Scrum Master), or equivalent Agile/Project Management certifications.
