webinar
Technical project management is a new field that’s emerged from the digital revolution. Learn how to get started in this in-demand role.

About this Event

Technical projects across all industries are becoming more complex — increasingly detailed customer research, larger teams, and data-driven testing processes means more moving parts overall. Organizations are realizing that they need leaders with a specific set of skills to take ownership of projects that span multiple departments. But what do technical project managers actually do? And how do you set up to break into this in-demand field?

In this free webinar, we’ll explore the in’s and out’s of project management via a conversation with an industry professional who knows what it takes to break into and rise up the ranks in this high-demand career.

What you’ll learn:

  • Career insights from a project manager at Nielsen
  • How to navigate a switch into this field successfully
  • Pitfalls to avoid for new project managers
  • And so much more

About the Speaker:

After 18 years in jewelry, Wayne McClure decided to go back to school and completed his undergraduate studies at USF, graduating with a degree in Computer Engineering. Since then, he’s made an incredibly successful transition into the data science field, working for several different fast-paced startups before taking on his current role — Technical Data Analytics Engineer at Nielsen where he also serves as the technical project manager for many ongoing initiatives.
