6–12 Month Contract | Inside IR35 | Nottingham or London | 2–3 Days Onsite per Week

We’re looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager to lead the technical delivery plan for a major web-based platform modernisation programme.

This is not a hands-on engineering role. You’ll sit between architecture, technical SMEs, delivery teams and external partners, translating architectural direction into a clear, sequenced delivery roadmap and managing the dependencies required to keep delivery moving.

Key Responsibilities

• 
  
• Own and maintain the technical delivery plan across data, backend, integrations and UI/UX.

Translate HLD/LLD into epics and directional tickets, ensuring work is ready to flow into squad backlogs.

Identify and manage complex cross-team dependencies, risks and blockers.

Coordinate architects, technical SMEs, BAs, development squads and external delivery partners.

Facilitate technical workshops to resolve issues, align priorities and drive decisions.

Work closely with the Programme Lead to align technical delivery with SAFe/PI planning and agile delivery.

Manage RAID, milestones and technical delivery reporting for senior stakeholders.

Ensure external delivery partner plans and outputs integrate effectively with internal teams.

Essential Experience

• 
  
• Strong track record delivering complex, multi-team technical transformation programmes.

Experience with platform modernisation, re-architecture or large-scale digital transformation.

Strong understanding of HLD/LLD → Epic → Story delivery.

Excellent dependency management, sequencing and RAID management skills.

Experience coordinating data, backend, integration and front-end/UI workstreams.

Experience managing third-party delivery partners/vendors alongside internal teams.

Strong Agile experience; SAFe or other scaled Agile environments highly desirable.

Confident working with architects and technical SMEs without needing to be the technical authority. xwzovoh

Desirable: Healthcare/regulated-sector experience, data platform migrations, UI/UX transformation and SAFe/PMP certification.
