Technical Project Manager (TPM)

Title Technical Project Manager

Location: ​Tokyo, Japan

Our technical project managers are a key part of Infostellar's overall success. Tasked with managing a range of technical projects including, but not limited to, satellite and ground station onboarding, and client-specific customisation. To ensure the success of each project, they work closely with internal and external stakeholders, solving issues, facilitating discussions, and keeping progress aligned with deadlines.
