What you'll do
- Coordinate delivery across multiple related projects or workstreams to ensure alignment with programme goals.
- Maintain a clear, high-level view of progress, risks, dependencies, and resource needs across the programme.
- Support roadmap shaping and programme-level planning with Technical Leads and product/strategy stakeholders.
- Facilitate alignment discussions across teams to clarify priorities, architectural considerations, and sequencing decisions.
- Lead delivery activities using Kanban and flow-based agile practices across one or more teams.
- Maintain visibility of work-in-progress, blockers, throughput, and upcoming priorities.
- Support teams in balancing feature delivery, technical debt, architectural improvements, and research/activity spikes.
- Encourage continuous flow, reducing bottlenecks and ensuring smooth transitions between stages of delivery.
- Provide structured but concise reporting suitable for programme sponsors and senior leadership.
- Track progress against objectives, milestones, and commitments across multiple workstreams.
- Capture key decisions, risks, issues, and actions in a lightweight but traceable way.
- Help define and mature TwinStream's delivery governance model — ensuring it remains agile and value-driven.
- Identify and manage programme-level risks, ensuring they are surfaced early and escalated appropriately.
- Coordinate cross-team and cross-vendor dependencies with clarity and urgency.
- Use a pragmatic, simple RAID process to maintain visibility and drive mitigation actions.
- Support teams in resolving blockers that span across technical or organisational boundaries.
- Act as the central coordination point for engineering, Technical Leads, internal stakeholders, and (when relevant) customers.
- Communicate delivery updates with clarity, tailored to the audience — technical or non-technical.
- Align expectations around timelines, scope, assumptions, and emerging risks.
- Support commercial teams during pre-sales, estimation, and contract/change discussions as needed.
- Contribute to improving TwinStream's delivery framework, tools, and documentation.
- Help establish scalable delivery patterns as TwinStream takes on more complex and multi-stream programmes.
- Promote transparency, psychological safety, and a culture of proactive delivery.
What we're looking for
- Experience managing software delivery across multiple teams or workstreams, not just single-project coordination.
- Strong understanding of flow-based agile delivery and programme-level planning.
- Proven ability to identify cross-cutting risks, large dependencies, and structural blockers.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills at all levels of the organisation.
- Confidence operating in environments that value structure but avoid heavy process.
- A pragmatic, solution-focused mindset and the ability to bring clarity in uncertainty.
- Must be UK-based and eligible for DV clearance.
Benefits
- Pension plan with 8% employer contribution.
- Private medical healthcare including dental and optical care for you and your family.
- Learning and development with autonomy to shape your growth.
- Flexible working.
- Electric vehicle leasing scheme via salary sacrifice.
- 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
- Quarterly meetings, Christmas and summer parties.
