Acting as the
Client Representative and Program Management Lead , you will become the central coordination point across stakeholders including hyperscale clients, OEMs, contractors, technology partners and delivery teams.
This is not a traditional PMO role.
This is a role for someone who can step into ambiguity, create structure, influence senior stakeholders and ensure momentum is maintained across a programme operating against aggressive timelines and zero contingency.
Working closely with senior programme leadership, you will help establish governance, improve visibility, drive accountability and ensure all parties remain aligned towards a common delivery objective.
The Role
As the Client Representative, you will act as a trusted extension of the client's leadership team, providing programme support, delivery coordination and governance oversight across multiple organisations and workstream.
You will bring order to complexity by establishing clear reporting structures, maintaining programme controls and ensuring risks, dependencies and delivery constraints are actively managed and communicated.
This role requires someone comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels, equally capable of engaging executive stakeholders as they are delivery teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Act as a client-side representative across the wider programme ecosystem.
- Support programme leadership in driving delivery against critical milestones.
- Coordinate activities across multiple suppliers, contractors and technology partners.
- Ensure alignment between programme objectives, stakeholder expectations and delivery outputs.
- Maintain momentum across parallel workstreams operating under challenging timelines.
- Establish and maintain an integrated master programme schedule.
- Develop and manage robust RAID processes covering risks, issues, assumptions and dependencies.
- Implement effective governance frameworks and reporting structures.
- Drive accountability across stakeholders through clear ownership and action management.
- Produce concise executive reporting and programme updates.
- Stakeholder Management
- Act as a key interface between client leadership, delivery teams and external partners.
- Facilitate programme meetings and convert discussions into actions and deliverables.
- Manage communication across senior stakeholders in politically sensitive environments.
- Influence programme outcomes through collaboration rather than authority.
- Build alignment across international teams and cultures
- Risk & Delivery Management
- Identify programme risks and escalation points early.
- Monitor dependencies across suppliers and delivery packages.
- Support mitigation planning and recovery strategies where required.
- Ensure programme visibility remains high despite rapidly changing conditions.
- Drive proactive rather than reactive decision making.
