Function

We're looking for an experienced Technical Program Manager to join our client's team and oversee the delivery of multiple IT initiatives in a complex, technology-driven environment. Combining technical expertise with strong leadership and coordination skills, you'll guide multidisciplinary teams across software development, infrastructure, system integration, and DevOps. You'll play a key role in aligning technical delivery with strategic objectives, facilitating decision-making, and ensuring that both existing applications and new digital solutions evolve in a secure, reliable, and sustainable way.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead multidisciplinary technical teams responsible for maintaining existing applications and developing new digital solutions.
• Coordinate priorities, planning, progress tracking, and reporting across multiple projects and project leads.
• Provide technical guidance on software architecture, infrastructure, system integration, and CI/CD practices.
• Support governance and steering committees in technical and managerial decision‑making.
• Oversee the maintenance, stabilisation, and compatibility of legacy desktop applications, including preparation for future operating system versions.
• Coordinate the migration of functionalities between applications and ensure seamless integration with internal modules and external systems.
• Guide the analysis and implementation of modern, responsive web applications, overseeing backend and frontend development, testing, documentation, and source control.
• Coordinate infrastructure, systems, networking, storage, and deployment activities to ensure effective end-to-end delivery.
• Promote Agile methodologies, continuous improvement, and effective collaboration across technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Technical Expertise

The ideal candidate combines a strong software engineering background with broad knowledge of modern application development, infrastructure, and delivery practices. Relevant expertise includes:

• Development technologies: .NET, C#, Angular, HTML, CSS, and PostgreSQL.
• Software architecture: microservices, REST and gRPC APIs, event-driven architectures, and micro-frontends.
• Authentication and security: OpenID Connect, Microsoft 365 authentication, security by design, cybersecurity, and cryptography.
• DevOps and version control: GitLab CI/CD, deployment pipelines, Git, branching strategies, pull requests, and code reviews.
• Infrastructure and operations: Kubernetes, Linux, infrastructure as code, and monitoring tools such as Grafana and Prometheus.
• Modelling and documentation: UML and BPMN.
• Legacy technologies: experience with Delphi and Windows desktop application development is an advantage.

The Ideal Candidate

You hold a degree in Computer Science or have equivalent professional experience, with several years of software development experience and a proven track record in technical leadership or programme management. You know how to bring together diverse teams, assess individual strengths, allocate responsibilities effectively, and adapt your leadership style to different personalities and situations. Comfortable working in Agile environments, particularly Scrum, you can manage competing priorities, adjust plans under pressure, and maintain delivery momentum. You communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences and are recognised for your analytical mindset, resilience, initiative, and collaborative approach. Experience in regulated or public-sector environments is a plus.
