Technical Program Manager

Remote (Europe) | Occasional travel to the UKStart: ASAP | Contract: 12 months (strong chance of extension / long-term)

About the role

We are looking for a highly experienced Technical Program Manager who operates comfortably at the intersection of engineering, architecture, and executive communication.

This role goes far beyond classic program tracking. You will act as a technical orchestrator and translator, aligning complex engineering initiatives with business priorities across infrastructure, cloud platforms, automation, and large-scale system integration.

You will own technical programs end-to-end — from early discovery and architectural alignment through execution, delivery, and post-launch optimisation. This is a high-visibility role with direct exposure to senior stakeholders and leadership.

What you’ll be responsible for

Technical Program Ownership

• Lead large, multi-stream technical programs with significant architectural and operational complexity

• Translate high-level strategy into executable technical plans and predictable delivery frameworks

Acquisition & Platform Integration

• Act as the technical point of coordination for newly integrated organisations or platforms

• Drive dependency mapping, risk assessment, and structured technical status reporting (SITREPs)

Provisioning & Automation

• Oversee provisioning, deployment, and internal automation workflows

• Ensure engineering execution aligns with corporate standards, scalability goals, and long-term roadmaps

Operational Excellence

• Run quarterly and long-term initiatives such as:

  • cost optimisation and efficiency programs

  • roadmap execution and dependency burndown

  • tooling and delivery framework improvements

Stakeholder Communication

• Serve as the primary communication bridge between engineering teams, leadership, and non-technical stakeholders

• Produce clear, structured reports and maintain continuous alignment across distributed teams

What we’re looking for

Experience

• 7+ years in Technical Program Management, Engineering Management, or similar senior technical leadership roles

• Proven experience managing complex technical workstreams across multiple teams

Technical Background

• Strong technical literacy — you don’t need to code daily, but you must speak engineering fluently

• Comfortable discussing:

  • cloud infrastructure & clusters

  • virtual machines and networking

  • AI-enabled systems and modern platforms

Communication Excellence

• Exceptional written and verbal English (C1/C2 level required)

• Ability to formalise complex technical topics into executive-ready communication
