Director, Technical Programme Management

UK Remote

Up to £160K Base + Bonus & Equity

This role is for a rapidly scaling, NVIDIA-partnered AI infrastructure platform building out its founding UK team and this is one of the most strategically important hires in that growth phase. This is not a traditional TPM governance role.

We’re looking for a highly technical programme leader who is equally comfortable in Kubernetes architecture discussions, GPU infrastructure design sessions, and executive-level customer conversations.

You’ll own the delivery of some of the most complex enterprise deployments in the market today, spanning Kubernetes-at-scale, GPU PaaS, AI/ML workloads, and multi-cloud infrastructure modernisation.

The opportunity

You’ll sit at the centre of enterprise AI infrastructure delivery, working directly with customer engineering teams and C-level stakeholders to drive successful adoption of a cutting-edge platform already used globally across demanding environments.

Critically, you’ll also be one of the founding members of the UK organisation, helping shape:

  • Delivery methodology and governance
  • Customer implementation approach
  • UK team structure and hiring
  • How the region scales over time

What you’ll be doing

  • Leading complex enterprise Kubernetes + GPU platform deployments across EMEA
  • Owning end-to-end delivery of AI infrastructure and cloud modernisation programmes
  • Running architecture workshops with DevOps, platform engineering, and executive stakeholders
  • Managing risk, dependencies, escalation paths, and programme outcomes
  • Partnering with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success to unblock delivery
  • Helping define and build the UK delivery function from the ground up

Tech environment

  • Kubernetes at scale (multi-cluster, production-grade environments)
  • GPU orchestration for AI/ML workloads (training + inference)
  • Cloud-native infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP
  • AI platform deployments, observability, GitOps, CI/CD
  • Sovereign and hybrid cloud environments

What we’re looking for

  • 10+ years in technical programme management, cloud infrastructure, or enterprise delivery
  • Strong Kubernetes expertise (hands-on, not just conceptual)
  • Exposure to GPU/AI infrastructure or high-performance compute environments
  • Experience leading large-scale, customer-facing technical programmes
  • Strong executive communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, scale-up environment

Why this role

  • Founding member of the UK team in a high-growth global platform
  • Work at the cutting edge of AI infrastructure + Kubernetes + GPU orchestration
  • Highly technical, highly visible programmes with enterprise customers
  • Remote-first across the UK/EMEA

If you’re looking for a role where you stay close to the technology, own real outcomes, and help build something from the ground up - this is one worth exploring. Click apply and we can arrange a chat to go through further details and next steps from here.
