Description

Senior Technical Project Manager at Photon, responsible for end-to-end delivery of complex technical programs spanning application engineering and data/AI-ML platforms. The role involves multi-team coordination, stakeholder management, and driving engineering discipline. Success is measured by predictable delivery and business outcomes.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end delivery for two or more concurrent technical programs, including scope, schedule, budget, dependencies, risks, and release readiness
Build and maintain integrated delivery plans with clear milestones, critical path, capacity assumptions, and explicit entry/exit criteria per phase
Identify and manage cross-team dependencies across squads, vendors, and platform teams; drive resolution before they become schedule slips
Run structured risk and issue management with mitigation owners and dates; escalate early with options rather than problems
Manage release and launch readiness—go/no-go reviews, cutover plans, rollback criteria, hypercare, and post-launch stabilisation
Partner with Engineering Managers and Product Owners for Agile squads—backlog readiness, sprint planning, estimation, velocity, and definition of done
Review technical designs and solution approaches with engineering and architecture; ensure non-functional requirements are planned
Drive engineering discipline—CI/CD adoption, environment readiness, test automation coverage, and code quality gates
Track and challenge technical debt and represent delivery impact in prioritisation discussions
Manage delivery of data and AI/ML initiatives—data ingestion, pipeline builds, platform migrations, analytics products, and ML model development
Understand the ML lifecycle and plan realistically for experimentation cycles, data readiness gaps, and non-deterministic outcomes
Coordinate across data engineering, data science, and MLOps teams
Ensure model performance, drift monitoring, and responsible-AI review gates are addressed
Translate technical outcomes into business metrics; support ROI and value-realisation tracking
Serve as single point of accountability for program communication
Facilitate steering committees, program reviews, and architecture/change boards
Build and maintain delivery dashboards and reporting
Support resource forecasting, vendor engagement, and SOW/change-order discussions
Coach teams on Agile, Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid models
Mentor junior project managers and scrum masters
Lead retrospectives and post-incident reviews and drive corrective actions

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field, or equivalent practical experience
8–12 years of total professional experience, with at least 4–5 years managing technical software delivery programs
Demonstrated ownership of at least one complex, multi-team program delivered to production with measurable business impact
Hands-on experience delivering both application/product engineering work and data or AI/ML initiatives
Strong working knowledge of modern software delivery: Agile/Scrum, CI/CD, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), APIs, microservices, and test automation
Working familiarity with the data and ML stack: data pipelines and warehousing, model training and evaluation concepts, and MLOps practices
Proficiency with delivery and collaboration tooling: Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, MS Project or Smartsheet, and dashboarding tools
