Job description

Program Manager

Company: Alstom

At Alstom, we understand transport networks and what moves people. From high‑speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling, and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day, 80,000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your program management expertise in a cutting‑edge field. You’ll work alongside innovative, collaborative, and forward‑thinking teammates.

You’ll play a pivotal role in delivering complex, multi‑disciplinary programs that shape the future of mobility. Day‑to‑day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (Engineering, R&D, Sourcing, Operations, Supply Chain, and customer‑facing teams), lead program reviews, and ensure the successful delivery of high‑quality solutions that align with Alstom’s digital transformation goals.

You’ll specifically take care of developing and managing a brand‑new platform designed to host and run rail supervision services used in control centers (train tracking, regulation, traffic management, etc.), and also ensure alignment with the product strategy, maintain program governance, and provide technical leadership.

We’ll look to you for:

• Monitoring and reporting the complete execution of the project, in accordance with Alstom’s processes.
• Financial and budgetary monitoring, including tracking schedules and program indicators.
• Ensuring alignment with the product strategy and implementing necessary actions to achieve it.
• Guaranteeing high‑quality execution by adhering to Alstom’s development processes.
• Providing strong program management and technical leadership to ensure end‑to‑end Quality, Cost, and Delivery (QCD) performance.
• Establishing KPIs, tracking performance, and providing regular progress updates to leadership and customers.
• Identifying program risks, implementing mitigation strategies, and resolving critical issues, including safety and cybersecurity challenges.

All about you

We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (IT, CS, ECE, EEE, or equivalent).
• 15–17+ years of experience in product, project, or program management.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in IT/engineering program management.
• Strong engineering background with full lifecycle deployment experience.
• Hands‑on leadership experience across cross‑functional teams.
• Experience with European customers is an advantage.
• Knowledge of Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid methodologies.
• Proficiency with tools such as MS Project, JIRA, Confluence, SharePoint, and Excel.

Things you’ll enjoy

Join us on a life‑long transformative journey – the rail industry is here to stay, so you can grow and develop new skills and experiences throughout your career. You’ll also:

• Enjoy stability, challenges, and a long‑term career free from boring daily routines.
• Work with advanced rail signalling and safety‑critical technologies.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams and supportive colleagues.
• Contribute to innovative projects that are shaping the future of mobility.
• Utilise our flexible and inclusive working environment.
• Steer your career in whatever direction you choose across functions and countries.
• Benefit from our investment in your development through award‑winning learning programs.
• Progress towards senior leadership roles or technical expert positions.
• Enjoy a fair and dynamic reward package that recognises your performance and potential, plus comprehensive and competitive social coverage (life, medical, pension).
• You don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step onto one of our trains with your friends or family, you’ll be proud.

Important to note

As a global business, we’re an equal‑opportunity employer that celebrates diversity across the 63 countries we operate in. We’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace for everyone.
