Technical Project Manager

📍UK Remote

Does this sound like you?
You’re a technically minded project leader who thrives at the intersection of delivery and engineering. You’re comfortable diving into the detail but equally confident stepping back to see the bigger picture. Agile is second nature to you, communication is one of your superpowers, and you’re happiest when complex projects are running smoothly because of the structure and clarity you’ve put in place.

You don’t just manage timelines – you create momentum, alignment and trust across teams.

What you’ll be doing (in a nutshell):
As our Technical Project Manager, you’ll sit within our Engineering team and report to the Director of Engineering. You’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring cross-functional initiatives are delivered efficiently, predictably and with impact.

From roadmap reviews to sprint ceremonies, risk mitigation to performance dashboards, you’ll bring structure to our delivery engine – helping our engineering teams ship high-quality work, on time and with confidence.

Day-to-day you can expect to:

• Develop and maintain clear project plans, timelines and budgets to keep delivery on track

• Lead and actively contribute to agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement and retrospectives

• Identify, manage and mitigate risks, dependencies and critical path activities

• Track key milestones, KPIs and engineering health metrics such as velocity, cycle time and release performance

• Own bug triage processes and ensure SLA adherence across teams

• Facilitate kick-offs, status updates, roadmap reviews and cross-functional alignment sessions

• Provide proactive, data-backed updates to stakeholders and senior leadership

• Ensure documentation is accurate, up to date and audit-ready

• Champion Scrum best practice and continuously refine our delivery workflows

• Drive continuous improvement in project management processes and tooling

To be successful, you’ll have:

• 4+ years’ experience in Technical Project Management, Programme Management or a similar technical leadership role

• Strong hands-on experience with Agile and Scrum frameworks, including leading ceremonies and driving adoption

• Experience administering and working within Jira

• Proven ability to manage multiple large-scale engineering projects simultaneously

• Excellent organisational and time management skills

• Clear, confident communication skills with the ability to create alignment across engineering, product, design, data and leadership teams

• Confidence operating in a fast-paced, collaborative and scaling environment

Bonus points if you bring:

• Familiarity with AI tools used in software delivery and automation

• Previous experience as a software engineer or product manager

• Experience engaging with customers to translate business needs into technical execution

• A natural curiosity and commitment to continuous professional development
