Job description

Technical Program Manager

Remote, U.K.

12 months contract

Rate: 37.02 to 41.35/hour on PAYE

CV Deadline 29/10 COB

Role:

Client seeks a highly motivated, detail oriented, and collaborative Technical Program Manager to join the eDiscovery & Information Governance team within client Legal. This role sits at the intersection of program strategy and technical execution, supporting Meta's global litigation, regulatory, and information governance matters as well as the data science and AI initiatives that power them.

The ideal candidate combines strong program management discipline with genuine technical fluency. You are comfortable owning a portfolio of concurrent workstreams, zooming in and out between day to day case work and long range roadmap planning, and connecting the dots across teams to drive efficiency, alignment, and results. You can write and run your own SQL queries, reason about tooling and development lifecycles, and translate between technical practitioners and legal or business stakeholders. You bring intellectual curiosity, a bias toward building durable processes rather than one off fixes, and the ability to operate independently in a fast paced, high stakes environment while partnering proactively with legal, product, data science, and operations teams across client.

5+ years of experience in technical program or project management, including work supporting eDiscovery, information governance, or legal operations teams

Experience building performance metrics and evaluation frameworks

Experience building partnerships with a variety of in house and external cross functional teams

Ability to synthesize complex information into actionable plans and executive ready updates

In house technology company experience

Professional services or client consulting background

Experience with GSD, or comparable project management systems

PMP certification

Top 3 non-negotiable skills:

• Hands-on SQL and tooling lifecycle ownership - able to independently write and run SQL queries and manage development and tooling lifecycles. Not oversight-level only; the role executes technical analysis directly.

• Scaled intake and cross-functional workflow ownership - proven track record managing complex intake processes and cross-functional workflows at scale, including building performance metrics and evaluation frameworks.

Good to have skills:

• Direct experience working with data science or AI teams
