Employment Type: Full - Time
Location: Mysore, India
Job Description
Lead a structured knowledge-capture effort in your first weeks: batch job inventory, pipeline
dependencies, runbooks, known workarounds, failure history, and escalation contacts
documented in Forward Air-owned locations and verified by the US team.
Run daily triage of production issues, batch failures, and incoming requests, keeping every open
item assigned, prioritized, and current in Azure DevOps.
Plan and track enhancements and projects across sprints or Kanban flow; manage scope,
dependencies, and dates with business owners and the US team.
Coordinate transitions as new engineers join: shadowing plans, handoff checklists, and
readiness checks before work changes hands.
Act as the single front door for questions to US engineers batching and routing them so the
US team can review and unblock without being interrupted continuously.
Enforce work-item hygiene and the team's QA and production checklists, including business
logic validation, not only data-movement checks.
Produce a concise weekly scorecard: open production items, aging items, deliveries, risks, and
transition status.
Identify delivery risks early and escalate with options, not just problems
Requirements
Strong working knowledge of Azure DevOps boards, backlogs, queries, and dashboards.
Ability to read and understand data pipelines, SQL, and job dependencies well enough to
challenge estimates and spot gaps you do not need to code daily.
Track record of producing clear operational documentation and runbooks.
Experience running production support or incident triage alongside project delivery. Forward Air Omni Logistics Project Manager Data Engineering Job Description
Excellent written English; able to communicate crisply with US business and technical

5 8 years of experience in project management, delivery management, or technical programme
management, preferably in a data or software engineering context.
NICE T O HAVE
Exposure to Azure Databricks, Azure Data Factory, or Talend environments.
Experience in logistics, transportation, or supply chain.
