We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Project Manager to join our Technology Consulting team.
You will lead the delivery of complex technology projects and transformation programmes, working across client teams, architects, engineers, technology vendors and business stakeholders to translate technical activity into structured, achievable delivery plans.
This is a hands‑on delivery leadership role requiring a strong understanding of technology combined with excellent project management, governance and stakeholder management capabilities.
As a general guide, teams would expect to spend around three days per week working in the office, while retaining flexibility to adapt working arrangements to reflect personal, project and client needs.

- Manage delivery across multidisciplinary teams including architects, engineers, developers, infrastructure teams, security specialists, business teams and third‑party suppliers.
- Establish and operate effective programme and project governance, providing clear reporting to senior stakeholders and steering groups.
- Lead projects through the full technology delivery lifecycle, from mobilisation and design through build, testing, deployment, transition and handover.
- Build strong relationships with senior client stakeholders and establish yourself as a trusted delivery advisor.

- Strong experience of both Agile and Waterfall delivery approaches.
- Demonstrable experience managing complex dependencies across multiple technical teams and suppliers.
