Senior Technical Program Mgr

Summary

Summary

As a Senior TPM in Data & AI, your job is to help build the foundations that make data useful - not theoretical. That means enabling the platforms, pipelines, and capabilities that allow the business to make better decisions, faster, with confidence.

You’ll work closely with Head of Technology & Head of Delivery to turn ambition into something real - something teams can actually use.

You’ll sit at the centre of it all – connecting technology & business teams, creating clarity, and making sure we’re not just building things…but building the right things, in the right way.

All the details

Who you are

• You drive outcomes instead of hiding behind process.

• You bring clarity to complexity and make sense of ambiguity.

• You build trust across both engineering and leadership by speaking both languages.

• You create clarity rather than waiting for it.

• You challenge the status quo and focus on what works in the real world.

What you will do

• Turn complex Data & AI ambitions into clear, executable plans that teams can deliver.

• Build and scale core data foundations with Technology and Engineering (platforms, pipelines, capabilities).

• Align cross-functional teams and simplify collaboration across boundaries.

• Anticipate risks early, remove blockers, and maintain momentum through complexity.

• Drive visible progress and ensure outcomes lead to better, data-informed business decisions.
