At OQC, we aren't just theorising about the future; we're building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we've successfully transitioned quantum computing from an academic dream into a commercial reality. The most exciting thing is that we're just getting started and we've recently closed our £260 million Series C funding round which is the largest fundraise ever completed by a quantum computing company in Europe. The purpose is to turn OQC's most important strategic priorities into delivered outcomes. You'll bring structure, pace and accountability to business‑critical initiatives and C‑Suite sponsored programmes, helping drive our next phase of growth.
What You'll Be Working On
- Drive the delivery of OQC's highest‑priority strategic initiatives and C‑suite sponsored programmes.
- Translate strategic objectives into integrated delivery plans, with clear workstreams, milestones and accountabilities.
- Coordinate cross‑functional teams, align stakeholders and manage dependencies across programmes.
- Track progress against milestones, surface risks early and work with stakeholders to resolve delivery challenges.
- Keep the executive team informed with clear updates on progress, risks and decisions needed.
- Work with external advisers where appropriate, aligning their input with programme priorities and delivery plans.
What We're Looking For
- Experience at a strategy consultancy, supporting strategic, operational or transformation programmes.
- Strong analytical and structured problem‑solving skills, paired with the execution discipline to turn plans into outcomes.
- Excellent programme management capability, with experience managing multiple workstreams and coordinating cross‑functional initiatives.
- The ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive progress without direct authority.
- Outstanding communication and presentation skills, strong organisation and close attention to detail.
- A proactive, low‑ego approach, with intellectual curiosity, personal accountability and the flexibility to take on evolving strategic and operational priorities.
Nice‑to‑Haves
- Experience advising technology, deep‑tech, software, fintech or other innovation‑led businesses.
- Experience working with private equity‑backed businesses.
