Job summary

Convolving GmbH in London is seeking a Technical Program Manager with a proven background in operational delivery of AI-enabled sprints. You will own sprint cadence, conduct weekly client sponsor reviews, and oversee adoption metrics and post-launch handovers, ensuring alignment between engineering teams and executives.

The role progresses from shadowing active engagements to leading a sprint and eventually running one engagement at a time, while contributing to the firm’s internal sprint

Qualifications

Five or more years of program-management or technical chief-of-staff experience, with delivery against a technical artifact.

Responsibilities

Run the sprint cadence (3 to 12 weeks) including daily stand-ups, weekly stakeholder reviews, mid-sprint health checks, and end-of-sprint retro.
Own the adoption metrics: who is using the artifact, where bypassed, where exception volume is rising, and report those numbers to the client weekly.
Translate between the engineering work product and the client’s executive sponsor, including written status memos that survive forwarding.
Manage the post-launch handover end-to-end: training materials, runbooks, on-call rotation handover to client engineering, and the 30-day check-in.
Hold the line on scope; name scope creep early and bring it back to the Partner.
Track engagements against internal sprint playbook and contribute patterns for future TPMs.

Job description

Full-time London Posted 18 May 2026

01The firm

A senior firm, sized like a startup. Convolving is a Swiss-based AI services firm running fixed-fee sprints for clients across five regulated industries. Delivery is partner-led on every engagement, and the team has shipped 30+ engagements to date. We pair tenured functional operators with AI-native engineers and a Technical Program Manager on every sprint, so the redesign lands in production rather than in a slide deck.

02The role

The person who makes the sprint land.

This is the seat that makes the artifact land. We hire Technical Program Managers out of operational engineering, applied-AI program management, or technical chief-of-staff backgrounds. The hire has run cross-functional delivery against a technical artifact, not just against a roadmap.

Your seat owns the sprint cadence, the weekly stakeholder review with the client sponsor, the adoption metrics, and the post-launch handover. You sit between the AI Process Engineer (who is building) and the Functional Expert (who is defending the controls), and you keep both honest. The Partner running the engagement owns the commercial relationship; you own the operating relationship.

First 90 days: shadow two active engagements, take TPM lead on a third, and own the post-launch handover for two engagements that ship in your first quarter. By month six you are running one engagement at a time and contributing to the firm’s internal sprint playbook.

03What you’ll do

Run the sprint cadence (3 to 12 weeks) including daily stand-ups, weekly stakeholder reviews, mid-sprint health checks, and end-of-sprint retro.
Own the adoption metrics: who is using the artifact, where it is being bypassed, where exception volume is rising, and report those numbers to the client weekly.
Translate between the engineering work product and the client’s executive sponsor, including written status memos that survive forwarding.
Manage the post-launch handover end-to-end: training materials, runbooks, on-call rotation handover to client engineering, and the 30-day check-in.
Hold the line on scope. Convolving sells fixed-fee sprints; you are the seat that names scope creep early and brings it back to the Partner.
Track every engagement against the firm’s internal sprint playbook and contribute the patterns back so the next TPM starts a week ahead of where you started.

04What we’re looking for

Five or more years of program-management or technical chief-of-staff experience, with at least two of those running delivery against a technical artifact (a shipped system, not a slide deck).
Demonstrated record of running fixed-deadline sprints with senior stakeholders and a small, opinionated engineering team.
Working fluency with at least one major AI assistant in your own week, and enough technical reading fluency to follow what the AI Process Engineer is shipping.
Direct experience in adoption work: training materials, runbooks, change rollout. Not a project manager; an adoption manager.
Plainspoken written communication. We publish a lot of internal writing.
Comfort calling scope creep in front of a Partner and a client sponsor in the same room.
UK work authorisation required (we do not sponsor visas at this stage). Based in central London; co-working arrangements supported.

05Nice to have

Prior TPM experience at OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, or an applied-AI consulting firm.
Experience inside a regulated industry (finance, healthcare, legal, pharma).
Reading knowledge of German, French, or Italian.
Operational-engineering background (SRE, platform, internal tools) before moving to program management.

06What you’ll get

The package, plainly.

Comp. We pay senior market rates for the hub. Compensation is calibrated to London market, not Swiss-discounted. Paid through a UK contractor arrangement with Convolving GmbH. Base plus a sprint-completion bonus tied to adoption, not utilisation.

Sprint model. Engagements are fixed-fee, 3 to 12 weeks. No retainer creep. No timesheet tracking. You finish a sprint, you take a week before the next one starts.

Training budget. Annual GBP 4,500 for conferences, courses, or paid research time on a question that matters to your function or to the firm.

The work itself. One engagement at a time, with the room to push back on the design and own the artifact end-to-end.
