We are seeking a Senior Technical Programme Manager – Data Platforms to provide end‑to‑end delivery leadership for this initiative.

What you'll be doing

What we're looking for

Significant experience delivering large‑scale technical or data programmes in complex enterprise environments.

A strong background in technical programme or project management within data, analytics, platform or engineering domains.

Proven experience coordinating multi‑stream deliveries across internal teams and external delivery partners.

Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast‑moving environments, bringing structure and clarity to complex problems.

Strong vendor and partner delivery management experience.

A solid understanding of modern data platforms and data engineering concepts, with the ability to engage credibly with engineers and architects.

Experience working with modern cloud data platforms and contemporary integration patterns (e.g. batch, micro‑batch, streaming, APIs).

Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to engage confidently at senior levels.

Strong judgement around risk identification, mitigation and delivery trade‑offs, balancing short‑term delivery pressures with long‑term platform health.

A calm, pragmatic and delivery‑focused mindset.

Qualifications
