Role Overview

You will run multiple client programmes at once across our AI and data engineering engagements, owning delivery end to end: scope, timeline, risk and the relationships that keep a programme moving. You will work directly with client sponsors and stakeholders, translate ambiguous business priorities into a delivery plan the technical teams can execute against, and be the person who catches a risk before it becomes an escalation. We keep teams small and senior, so you will coordinate closely with technical leads rather than manage through layers of process. If you have run multiple technical programmes at once, in an environment where the work itself is genuinely ambiguous, this role is built for you.

What You Will Do

  • Own delivery for multiple concurrent client programmes, including scope, timeline, budget and risk
  • Act as the primary point of contact for client sponsors and stakeholders on programme status and decisions
  • Translate ambiguous business priorities into a delivery plan that technical leads can execute against
  • Identify and escalate delivery risks early, including scope creep, resourcing gaps and dependency conflicts
  • Run structured governance: steering committees, status reporting and decision logs across programmes
  • Coordinate across data engineering, data science and AI engineering workstreams to keep delivery aligned
  • Manage resourcing and staffing plans across programmes in partnership with practice leads
  • Support commercial conversations, including scope changes, renewals and expansion opportunities

Technical Skills

  • Program & Delivery Management: Running multiple concurrent technical programmes — scope, timeline, budget, risk and dependency management across workstreams.
  • Stakeholder Management: Managing senior client sponsors and stakeholders directly, including difficult conversations about scope, risk and timelines.
  • Governance & Reporting: Structured governance — steering committees, status reporting, decision logs and escalation paths that keep leadership informed.
  • Technical Fluency: Enough fluency in AI, data engineering and data science delivery to have a real conversation with technical leads, not just relay updates.
  • Risk & Resourcing: Identifying delivery risk early, and managing resourcing and staffing plans across programmes in partnership with practice leads.
  • Commercial Awareness: Supporting scope changes, renewals and expansion conversations, and understanding how delivery decisions affect commercial outcomes.
  • Tools: Project and programme tracking tools (Jira, Asana, Monday or equivalent), and comfort building clear status reporting for technical and executive audiences.

Experience & Qualifications

  • 6 to 10 years of programme or delivery management experience, ideally in a technology consulting or professional services environment
  • A track record of running multiple concurrent technical programmes, not just a single workstream
  • Experience managing senior client stakeholders directly, including escalation and expectation management
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field; PMP, PRINCE2 or Agile/Scrum certification is a plus

Good to Have

Not required, but a strong plus if your experience already includes any of the following.

  • Experience delivering AI, data engineering or data science programmes specifically
  • Exposure to retail, consumer goods, manufacturing or supply chain domains
  • Experience supporting pre-sales, scoping or commercial conversations
  • Formal certification in programme or project management (PMP, PRINCE2, SAFe or equivalent)
