Role Summary

We are looking for a Senior Technical Project Manager - SVP to lead a high-visibility, enterprise-scale technology programmer with senior executive sponsorship. You will own delivery end-to-end, from strategy through production, working closely with engineering, architecture, risk, and business leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of a complex, multi-workstream technology programmer, from business case through production and post-implementation review.
• Translate strategic objectives into a sequenced, resourced delivery roadmap with clear milestones and exit criteria.
• Engage directly with engineering and architecture leadership to challenge technical trade-offs and ensure plans reflect real delivery constraints.
• Own and actively manage the program's risk, issue, and dependency register, driving closure rather than just tracking status.
• Manage cross-functional and cross-team dependencies, negotiating commitments and escalating blockers before they hit the critical path.
• Run project governance forums (steering committees, business reviews), producing agendas, decisions, and action tracking.
• Deliver concise, accurate executive reporting on program status, risk, and financials on a regular cadence.
• Identify and remove delivery friction, streamlining or automating recurring governance and reporting overhead.
• Apply sound risk judgement in every delivery decision, safeguarding the firm's operations and reputation.

Program Governance & Delivery

• Apply a hybrid delivery approach, blending agile-at-scale practices with structured, phase-gated governance where needed.
• Maintain core governance artefacts: program charter, RACI, roadmap, risk/issue log, and decision log.
• Operate a defined cadence of team, programm, and executive-level reviews.
• Use a tiered escalation approach with clear ownership and resolution timeframes.
• Ensure decisions and changes are documented and auditable.

Stakeholder Management & Executive Engagement

• Act as the primary technical delivery point of contact for senior sponsors and cross-functional leadership.
• Distil complex, multi-workstream status into clear, concise updates suitable for senior leadership review.
• Influence and align stakeholders across teams without formal authority over them.
• Surface risks and bad news early, always paired with a proposed mitigation or path forward.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years in technology delivery, including 6+ years leading complex, multi-team technical agile programs.
• Demonstrated ownership of large-scale program spanning multiple teams or business units.
• Practical experience managing a formal risk/issue/dependency log and structured escalation process.
• Working knowledge of at least one scaled delivery framework, applied in practice.
• Ability to engage credibly with engineers and architects on technical trade-offs.
• Track record of presenting project status to senior executive stakeholders.
• Familiarity with platform engineering and DevSecOps practices e.g., CI/CD, GitOps, containerization, cloud migration patterns.
• Hands-on experience with scripting, automation, or data modelling.

Competencies & Behaviors

• Distils complex project into clear, decision-ready executive updates.
• Engages credibly on technical trade-offs rather than simply relaying engineering input.
• Surfaces and mitigates risk proactively, before it becomes a blocking issue.
• Aligns stakeholders across teams through influence rather than authority.
• Runs disciplined governance without unnecessary process overhead.
• Takes ownership of outcomes, leading with solutions when plans slip.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• Master's Degree is preferred
