Staff Systems Software Delivery Lead

Entangled Future; Oxford; Hybride; GBP 90 000 - 130 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

IonQ in Oxford, UK is seeking a Staff Technical Programme Manager to lead delivery across five engineering teams—runtime, orchestration, quantum tools, controllers and transport—within a centralised PMO model. This is a hands-on, senior role coordinating cross-site programmes across Oxford and the US.

You will own the programme plan, highlight trade-offs, surface risks early and ensure alignment with engineering leaders and senior stakeholders, with clear, plain-English status updates.

Responsabilités

• Make contention visible: when two programmes need the same team in the same quarter, bring it to the right decision-maker with the options and a recommendation before it becomes a slip.
• Keep the systems of record honest. Requirements, plans, schedules and Jira drift apart; you'll close the gap and automate the checking.
• Make invisible work visible: on-call load, sustaining work and technical debt tracked as rigorously as feature delivery.
• Surface risks early, before you have a full solution or complete alignment. We'd rather hear it messy and on time.
• Run intake and triage so requests reach the right team, with priority set by the people who own it, and engineers stay on planned work.
• Work hand in hand with the Quantum Systems Infrastructure and Science TPMs in Oxford and the Software TPMs in the US: shared processes where teams meet, and no duplicated ceremonies, boards or reports.
• Write concise, plain-English status on progress, risks and decisions for programme directors, engineering leaders and senior leadership.
• Help shape how IonQ runs software delivery across sites, working with the Group Program Manager, Software on the shared delivery standard.
