Job description

Our client is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of large, complex technology and data programs spanning multiple workstreams, delivery teams, vendors and business stakeholders. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable operating at the executive level and working directly with technical teams. This includes presenting program strategy, risks, financials, dependencies and key decisions to senior leadership, while also partnering with architects, engineers, data teams and development teams to understand delivery challenges, facilitate technical discussions and drive issues through to resolution. This individual does not need to be the deepest technical expert in the room, but must have a strong understanding of technology delivery, data products, modern data platforms, software development and technical dependencies in order to ask the right questions, connect technical decisions to business outcomes and help business and technology teams reach alignment. The ideal candidate combines strong program management discipline with a pragmatic and agile delivery mindset. They should be grounded in formal project/program management methodology, governance and delivery excellence, while knowing when and how to adapt the approach based on the needs of the program. This role requires significant ownership and autonomy, with accountability for program outcomes rather than simply tracking and reporting activities.
