About the Role
The Programs team ensures our external and internal research projects are delivered predictably, transparently, and in alignment with customer needs and internal priorities. Working closely with research leads, solutions architects, and commercial teams, the group provides the structure and clarity needed to turn scientific work into well-run projects.
As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will manage a portfolio of complex scientific projects, contributing to consistent and predictable delivery. You will use your technical literacy to translate scientific objectives into clear plans, manage the flow of work across multiple research teams, and ensure that progress, risks, and decisions are visible to both customers and internal leadership. Alongside your own delivery responsibilities, you will work with the Programs group leadership to plan resources, follow established delivery discipline, and contribute to continuous improvement of team practices.
Responsibilities
- For assigned programs, act as the primary point of contact for questions related to status, delivery commitments, and customer programs, ensuring clear and timely communication with internal leaders and external stakeholders as appropriate.
- Ensure all assigned internal and external research and delivery projects are well defined, with clear objectives, scope, milestones, success criteria, ownership, and governance, and that progress is reported in a consistent and appropriate manner to senior leadership.
- Ensure project risks, dependencies, and delivery issues are identified early, escalated appropriately, and actively managed so that corrective actions are taken in a timely manner.
- Contribute to forecasting and capacity-planning activities by providing accurate project plans, estimates, and risk assessments to the Director, Programs.
- Use established tools and systems for project tracking, resource management, and reporting, and ensure accurate and timely data entry for assigned programs.
- Support financial and accounting requirements by accurately tracking effort, time allocation, and project costs in coordination with finance and operations teams.
- Enforce scope management and change-control processes to prevent uncontrolled scope creep while enabling informed trade-offs where strategically necessary.
