Engagement Model: Professional Services Engagement – B2B (Incorporated Entities Only)
About the Engagement
Akkodis is seeking the services of an experienced Technical Project Manager to own portfolio-level risk management across multiple programs and projects. The ideal candidate blends hands-on technical depth with structured risk methodologies – FMEA (Failure Modes & Effects Analysis) – to proactively identify, quantify, and mitigate risks that impact delivery, reliability, security, and business outcomes. You will establish the portfolio risk operating model, drive cross-team mitigation and decision-making, and provide executive-ready visibility of residual risk.
Key Responsibilities
Design and run a portfolio-wide risk management framework, integrating FMEA with existing governance.
Build and maintain a central risk register with owners and due dates and FMEA scoring.
Translate FMEA outputs into concrete mitigation plans.
Collaborate with delivery managers and product owners to surface failure modes.
Own risk dashboards and executive briefings.
Establish leading indicators (early warning signals) and improve observability for proactive detection.
Benchmark and continually improve risk maturity across the portfolio.
Required Skills and Qualifications
10+ years managing complex technical projects/programs in software engineering, platforms, data/AI, or cloud.
Demonstrated experience leading FMEA or similar structured risk methods.
Strong understanding of modern software delivery (Agile, DevOps, CI/CD, cloud-native architectures, APIs).
Ability to synthesize technical risk into executive-ready narratives with clear tradeoffs and asks.
Excellent facilitation: cross-functional workshops, root cause analysis, and conflict resolution.
Domain experience in regulated environments (e.g., financial services) and partnering with Security, Risk, and Compliance.
Key Responsibilities by Outcome
Within 90 Days
Stand up the portfolio risk register and FMEA cadence for critical programs.
Produce the first risk heatmap and top 10 risks with assigned owners and target dates.
Baseline key metrics (e.g., % risks with mitigations, average RPN, top systemic risks).
Ongoing (Quarterly)
Reduce high RPN items by ≥ X% quarter-over-quarter.
Improve detection coverage (monitoring/alerting) for top failure modes.
Integrate risk posture into quarterly planning and release readiness.
Annually
Demonstrate improvements in change failure rate, and incident recurrence.
Increase portfolio risk maturity .
This is a business-to-business engagement. Candidates must represent an incorporated entity, hold a valid business number, maintain appropriate insurance, and invoice for services rendered.
