Key Responsibilities

• Own and maintain the technical delivery plan across data, backend, integrations and UI/UX.


• Translate HLD/LLD into epics and directional tickets, ensuring work is ready to flow into squad backlogs.


• Identify and manage complex cross-team dependencies, risks and blockers.


• Coordinate architects, technical SMEs, BAs, development squads and external delivery partners.


• Facilitate technical workshops to resolve issues, align priorities and drive decisions.


• Work closely with the Programme Lead to align technical delivery with SAFe/PI planning and agile delivery.


• Manage RAID, milestones and technical delivery reporting for senior stakeholders.


• Ensure external delivery partner plans and outputs integrate effectively with internal teams.


• Strong track record delivering complex, multi-team technical transformation programmes.


• Experience with platform modernisation, re-architecture or large-scale digital transformation.


• Strong understanding of HLD/LLD → Epic → Story delivery.


• Excellent dependency management, sequencing and RAID management skills.


• Experience coordinating data, backend, integration and front-end/UI workstreams.


• Experience managing third-party delivery partners/vendors alongside internal teams.


• Strong Agile experience; SAFe or other scaled Agile environments highly desirable.


• Confident working with architects and technical SMEs without needing to be the technical authority.

Desirable: Healthcare/regulated-sector experience, data platform migrations, UI/UX transformation and SAFe/PMP certification.
