Technical Programme / Project Manager - SDLC

Hertford – 5 Days Onsite | Permanent, Full-Time

Our client is seeking an experienced Technical Programme / Project Manager to join their team in Hertford. This is a permanent opportunity to lead the delivery of complex software projects in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment.

Please note: This is an onsite role (5 days per week) in Hertford, so we’re looking for someone who can fully commit to being present and embedded within the team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end software project delivery using Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid methodologies
• Collaborate with cross-functional and offshore team
• Manage complex project roadmaps, resourcing, and stakeholder engagement
• Oversee delivery across the full software lifecycle — from requirements and solution design to release and post-go-live support
• Own project governance, documentation, budgeting, and risk management
• Act as the bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders

What We're Looking For:

• 10+ years in Technical Programme/Project Management
• Proven experience delivering software in a highly transactional environment (e.g. retail, eCommerce, logistics, etc.)
• Strong technical understanding of the full SDLC. You do not have to come from a "hands-on" technical background
• Experience managing distributed teams, including offshore delivery
• Proficiency with JIRA, Confluence, and other modern project tools
• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills
• A background in consulting would be beneficial, particularly if you're confident managing external client relationships
