Job description

Technical Portfolio Manager, Senior Programme Manager, Senior Project Manager, Mainly Remote

Technical Portfolio Manager (TPM) / Programme Manager / Senior Project Manager required to work for a Professional Services business based in Central London. However, this is Global role that may require some Global travel (fully expensed) but most of the work can be done from the comfort of your own home.

The TPM is responsible for the strategic oversight and successful delivery of a portfolio of technical initiatives, ensuring alignment with organisational goals and client expectations. This role will focus on supporting a significant service line, in the largest technology programme of work our client has ever been involved in.

We essentially need someone who has operated at Programme Management level, has dealt with C-Suite Stakeholders from business and technology and has delivered technical solutions on an enterprise level. There is a written side to it too, where you will be writing and designing high level, strategic technical documents for the business to digest, prior to the Programme / Project executions. There will be several meetings that you will be running with key stakeholders in both the business and technology, where you would have to be confident enough to hold your own, run the meetings and be prepared to be challenged by sometimes difficult stakeholders on occasions!

This role is to manage a Portfolio of Projects and Programmes within modern technology on a Global scale. As this has global coverage, there may be some early / late calls. You must be prepared for this. There will be give and take with times, along with some flexibility if things are becoming quite taxing. However, we want someone dedicated and definitely not someone who wants a hardened 9am 5pm kind of position! Read on for more details
