About the Role
We are looking for a tenacious and disciplined Technical Program Manager to lead complex, multi-stream technology initiatives. This isn't just about following a process; it’s about driving end-to-end delivery of group-wide solutions and shared platforms that impact our entire brand portfolio. You will thrive in a highly collaborative, matrixed environment, working closely with the CTO, Enterprise Architects, and stakeholders across Marketing, Advertising, and Editorial.
Main Responsibilities
- Lead a diverse range of projects through the full lifecycle, ensuring they are on time, on budget, and of superior quality.
- Manage multiple projects concurrently, overseeing task delivery across workstreams and coordinating with third-party vendors.
- Build strong cross-functional relationships to maintain visibility, manage risks, and ensure all business functions are aligned.
- Provide weekly governance reporting and ensure all projects adhere to the appropriate delivery frameworks.
- Focus matrix-managed teams to align with brief, scope, and budget parameters while keeping the delivery team engaged and committed.
Person Specification
- Demonstrable track record of delivering large-scale technology projects, particularly platform migrations, within complex IT environments.
- Ability to engage at both delivery and architectural levels, translating technical designs (APIs, integrations, distributed architectures) into executable plans.
- Experience operating across Waterfall, Agile, and hybrid delivery models.
- Expertise in managing cutover activities, transition-to-live operations, and non-functional requirements like scalability and security.
- Strong financial skills, including budget management, forecasting, and cost control.
- You are an “organised completer/finisher” and an energised self-starter who focuses on outcomes over process.
