How to Apply for Technical Project Manager

at Xpansiv

🏢 About Xpansiv

Xpansiv is the leading infrastructure provider for energy transition markets, backed by Blackstone and built through over a decade of strategic acquisitions. The company empowers transparent, credible environmental claims, making it a key player in the global push for climate accountability and sustainability performance.

About This Role

As a Technical Project Manager, you will lead high-impact, highly regulated initiatives across Xpansiv's Platform portfolio, including Registry, Power, and Managed Solutions. Your work will directly support complex data migrations, large tenders, and compliance-driven implementations, ensuring delivery under formal contracts and structured governance frameworks.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up with the engineering team to track progress on a registry migration, followed by a governance meeting with compliance officers to review SOC 2 controls. Afternoon could involve risk assessment for an upcoming tender, then updating the project schedule and communicating status to stakeholders across Xpansiv and partner organizations.

🎯 Who Xpansiv Is Looking For

  • 8+ years managing enterprise SaaS programs with a focus on complex data migrations and compliance-driven implementations.
  • Deep experience operating under formal contracts, SOC 2 Type 2 controls, NIST 800-53, or equivalent security frameworks.
  • Strong command of core PM disciplines: scope, schedule, risk, and budget management, with a track record of delivering on time and within scope.
  • Comfortable navigating highly regulated environments, with experience in environmental commodity markets or similar sectors (e.g., energy, finance).

📝 Tips for Applying to Xpansiv

1

Highlight specific examples of managing complex data migrations and compliance-driven projects, especially under SOC 2 or NIST frameworks.

2

Demonstrate your experience with formal contracts and structured governance by mentioning contract types (e.g., fixed-price, T&M) and governance bodies you've worked with.

3

Tailor your resume to emphasize enterprise SaaS delivery, not just general project management; include metrics like project size, team size, and regulatory impact.

4

Research Xpansiv's recent acquisitions and how they integrate into the platform; mention this in your cover letter to show strategic alignment.

5

If you have experience in environmental markets or energy transition, lead with it; if not, draw parallels from other regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance).

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Failing to emphasize regulatory compliance experience; this role is heavily compliance-driven, so generic PM experience won't suffice.
  • Overlooking the importance of formal contracts; be ready to discuss fixed-price vs. T&M and how you manage scope creep.
  • Not tailoring your application to the environmental/energy transition sector; generic applications will stand out negatively.
