Program Manager

Job Description

Responsibilities

• Technical program design. Problem statements, evaluation criteria, judging rubrics, and tech-stack fit. You decide what a good submission looks like and defend that standard to clients and juries.
• End-to-end program ownership. Multiple concurrent programs from post-sales handover through delivery and debrief. Scope, objectives, timelines, and resourcing are yours to define.
• The client relationship, post-sales. Primary point of contact once sales hands over. You set expectations, manage change, and are the voice on technical scope and feasibility including on what isnt deliverable.
• Strategic program architecture. You build the blueprint. Defining objectives, resource allocation, and timelines is your domain. You ensure every component is technically sound and logistically viable before a single line of code is written.
• Internal cross-functional bridge. You lead the charge across Marketing, Operations, and SME teams. You are the glue that keeps diverse internal stakeholders aligned and focused on delivering a cohesive product.
• Risk and quality gatekeeping. Spotting friction before it happens. You own the mitigation strategies and maintain a relentless standard for the participant experience and final deliverables.
• Scope and fiscal discipline. You hold the line on the budget and the agreed-upon roadmap. Using rigorous verification, you ensure we deliver exactly what was promised without slippage.
• External partner synchronization. Managing the ecosystem. You direct third-party vendors and partners to ensure their contributions integrate seamlessly into the live event execution.
• Documentation and executive reporting. Maintaining the narrative of progress. You provide clear, direct visibility on milestones and technical hurdles to both clients and our leadership team.
• Jury and participant experience. Recruiting and briefing evaluators, running the judging process with rigour, and making sure the experience holds up for developers and students who chose to spend a weekend on it.

What you’ll need

• Deep technical fluency. You can hold an architecture-level conversation with a client, a jury, or a partner without escalating it. You can read a submission and judge whether it actually works. Hands-on coding is not required credible technical judgement is non-negotiable.
• Experience. 47 years in program or project management in a technical environment technical program management, developer relations, solutions or pre-sales engineering, or an engineer who moved into program work. Enterprise clients somewhere in that history.
• Domain expertise. Working knowledge of the domains we run challenges in AI/ML, cloud, and data at minimum. Enough to tell an ambitious problem statement from an unworkable one.
• Enterprise client-facing strength. Polished, direct, and comfortable holding a line on scope with a senior stakeholder who wants more than was agreed.
• Organisational discipline. Several programs running at once, each with its own client, timeline, and jury. Detail matters and slippage is visible.
• Developer and student community instinct. You understand what makes a hackathon worth entering, and what makes participants disengage.
