We are looking for a Senior Technical Project Manager to lead a high-visibility, enterprise-scale technology programme with senior executive sponsorship. You will own delivery end-to-end, from strategy through production, working closely with engineering, architecture, risk, and business leadership.
Essential functions
- Own end-to-end delivery of a complex, multi-workstream technology programme, from business case through production and post-implementation review.
- Translate strategic objectives into a sequenced, resourced delivery roadmap with clear milestones and exit criteria.
- Engage directly with engineering and architecture leadership to challenge technical trade-offs and ensure plans reflect real delivery constraints.
- Own and actively manage the programme's risk, issue, and dependency register, driving closure rather than just tracking status.
- Manage cross-functional and cross-team dependencies, negotiating commitments and escalating blockers before they hit the critical path.
- Run project governance forums (steering committees, business reviews), producing agendas, decisions, and action tracking.
- Deliver concise, accurate executive reporting on programme status, risk, and financials on a regular cadence.
- Identify and remove delivery friction, streamlining or automating recurring governance and reporting overhead.
- Apply sound risk judgement in every delivery decision, safeguarding the firm's operations and reputation.
- Apply a hybrid delivery approach, blending agile-at-scale practices with structured, phase-gated governance where needed.
- Maintain core governance artefacts: programme charter, RACI, roadmap, risk/issue log, and decision log.
- Operate a defined cadence of team, programme, and executive-level reviews.
- Use a tiered escalation approach with clear ownership and resolution timeframes.
- Ensure decisions and changes are documented and auditable.
- Act as the primary technical delivery point of contact for senior sponsors and cross-functional leadership.
- Distil complex, multi-workstream status into clear, concise updates suitable for senior leadership review.
- Influence and align stakeholders across teams without formal authority over them.
- Surface risks and bad news early, always paired with a proposed mitigation or path forward.
Qualifications
- 10+ years in technology delivery, including 6+ years leading complex, multi-team technical agile programmes.
- Demonstrated ownership of large-scale programmes spanning multiple teams or business units.
- Practical experience managing a formal risk/issue/dependency log and structured escalation process.
- Working knowledge of at least one scaled delivery framework, applied in practice.
- Ability to engage credibly with engineers and architects on technical trade-offs.
- Track record of presenting project status to senior executive stakeholders.
- Familiarity with platform engineering and DevSecOps practices e.g., CI/CD, GitOps, containerization, cloud
- migration patterns.
- Hands-on experience with scripting, automation, or data modelling.
- Advanced degree (MS/MBA) in a technical, organizational, or communication-related field

- Work with a highly motivated and dedicated team
- Competitive salary
- Flexible schedule
- Benefits package - medical insurance, vision, dental, etc.
