Technical Programme Manager in Slough

We are GlobalLogic, a Hitachi Group Company and a leader in digital engineering. We help brands across the globe design and build innovative products, platforms, and digital experiences for the modern world. By integrating experience design, complex engineering, and data expertise, we help our clients imagine what’s possible and accelerate their transition into tomorrow’s digital businesses.

At GlobalLogic, we have a strong track record of successfully delivering ground-breaking Cloud, Data & Digital Transformation programmes and we have an international reach working with a wide variety of projects and customers. Our approach enables companies to “build the exceptional” and be fit for purpose in the 21st century.

In an era of unprecedented innovation, businesses require partners who can do more than just maintain systems—they need architects of the future to design and build the next generation of AI-enabled digital products, platforms, and experiences. As a Programme Manager based out of the UK, you will serve as a senior delivery leader responsible for the holistic success and execution of strategic client programmes. You will operate within GlobalLogic’s high-impact "Two-in-a-Box" leadership model.

The Partnership: You will work in a seamless, collaborative triad alongside a Global Sales Lead/Client Partner and will be supported by Offshore Engineering Leaders (focused on operational excellence).

The Mission: Your role is to act as the primary "face of delivery" for senior client executives. You will bridge the gap between high-level vision and tangible business outcomes, ensuring that our globally distributed teams deliver with precision and quality.

The Impact: By strengthening client relationships through delivery excellence and technical credibility, you will be the driving force behind long-term digital transformations and the referenceability of our work.

Responsibilities

What You Bring to the Role:

• Industry Leadership: 15+ years of experience in Digital Engineering or IT Consulting, specifically within high-scale, global delivery models.
• Delivery Leadership: A proven track record of delivering complex client programmes with annual revenues of £5M+.
• Executive Presence: The ability to command the "big picture" while maintaining the focus to dive into details, ensuring you are a credible, trusted advisor to C-suite executives.
• Global Orchestration: Extensive experience in multi-country stakeholder management, leading distributed teams in excess of 50+ people.
• High-level fluency in Cloud platforms: AWS/Azure/GCP and the SDLC. You can supervise delivery and interrogate architectural decisions without needing to be the hands-on Technical Lead.
• Transformation Expertise: Extensive experience overseeing high-stakes digital transformations and data migration, including challenging incumbent vendor transitions and Organizational Change Management (OCM).
• Delivery Acumen: An expert in global coordination and governance, with deep experience in financial rigour, resource optimization, and proactive risk management.
• Agile Fluency: An expert in modern delivery methodologies, including Agile, Scrum, and Scaled Agile (SAFe).
• Influential Communicator: A collaborative leader with the communication skills to influence both internal engineering pods and external client stakeholders.
• Driven & Reliable: A self-starter who thrives in fast-paced environments, with a strong focus on meeting deadlines and driving referenceable delivery outcomes.
• Academic Foundation: A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field is preferred.

Requirements

Delivery & Technical Oversight

• End-to-End Client Delivery: Oversee the entire lifecycle from initiation through implementation, ensuring alignment with GlobalLogic’s Delivery Framework and the client’s governance processes.

• Strategic Technology Alignment: Maintain high-level fluency in current technology shifts—specifically Cloud, Data Migration, Data, and AI—to ensure delivery remains relevant and provides a credible bridge between client business goals and engineering execution.

Project Governance & Financial Rigour

• P&L & Margin Accountability: Take ultimate responsibility for the financial health of your portfolio ensuring high-quality delivery that protects and grows margins.
• Governance Framework: Establish a robust governance matrix that aligns with GlobalLogic’s Delivery Framework (GLDF) and the client’s internal processes, ensuring 100% referenceability.
• Strategic Risk Management: Proactively identify engagement risks—from technical debt to resource bottlenecks—and manage senior stakeholder expectations through clear, data-driven communication.

Global Leadership & Stakeholder Management

• Global Leadership: Lead and mentor large, distributed teams across multiple geographies, defining the right operating models to ensure seamless collaboration.
• Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary delivery point of escalation for C-suite stakeholders, managing expectations and identifying new opportunities for business improvement.
• Mentorship: Lead by example, fostering a supportive and learning culture for other Project and Programme Managers within the organization.
