Programme Leader-Current Car
Most people see an Aston Martin and experience the finished product.
What they don’t see is the constant engineering, planning, and cross-functional collaboration required to keep those vehicles evolving, improving, and performing at the level our customers expect throughout their lifecycle.
This is where this role makes a real impact.
As Programme Leader-Current Car, you'll be responsible for driving the delivery of key activities across Aston Martin's current vehicle programmes, ensuring engineering changes, quality improvements, cost targets, and programme milestones are achieved successfully.
Sitting at the centre of multiple business functions, you'll coordinate activity across Engineering, Finance, Purchasing, Design, Launch, Planning, and Programme teams, bringing clarity, structure, and momentum to complex projects.
This is a role that combines technical understanding with programme leadership.
You'll be responsible for monitoring programme health, managing engineering change introductions, developing and tracking release plans, supporting cost management activities, and driving the resolution of concerns that could impact quality, timing, or delivery. You'll analyse programme performance, identify risks, and work with stakeholders to develop effective recovery plans when challenges arise.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What makes this opportunity especially rewarding is the breadth of exposure. You'll work closely with senior stakeholders, support Programme Managers on high-profile vehicle programmes, and have the opportunity to lead smaller programmes in your own right, taking ownership of both delivery and financial performance.
We're looking for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, influencing cross-functional teams, and operating in an environment where priorities can shift quickly. You'll bring experience in vehicle or complex systems programme delivery, a strong understanding of product development processes, and the confidence to challenge, coordinate, and communicate effectively at every level of the organisation.
This is an opportunity to join an iconic luxury brand where every decision contributes to the performance, quality, and customer experience of some of the world's most admired vehicles. You'll gain visibility across the business, work alongside passionate experts, and play a key role in shaping the future of Aston Martin's current vehicle portfolio.
