About the Role

Clarion Events is undergoing a digital and technology transformation, investing in platforms, products, data capabilities, and operational improvements. This role within the Central Technology function will support the delivery of a diverse roadmap across Enterprise Apps, Data, IT, and Digital. Initially, the focus will be on leading a global program to migrate teams to a new Marketing & Segmentation platform, integrate it within the existing ecosystem, and manage the associated change management activities. The role requires a strong sense of ownership, the ability to drive both technical and business aspects of change, and a deep interest in maturing the PMO.

Responsibilities

Establish and maintain robust programme and project plans, governance, RAID logs, dependencies, milestones, and success measures.
Provide accurate, timely reporting on project progress, stage gate tracking, risks, decisions, and delivery confidence.
Coordinate activities across engineering, data, architecture, infrastructure, product, security, and third-party delivery partners.
Drive accountability across project teams, proactively identifying issues, removing blockers, and escalating risks.
Ensure projects remain aligned to agreed scope, timelines, budgets, and success criteria.
Maintain high standards of project hygiene and operational excellence using tools such as Jira, Confluence, and portfolio reporting frameworks.
Act as the bridge between business and technology teams, translating requirements and concepts.
Build strong relationships with stakeholders across Sales, Marketing, Finance, HR, and Operations.
Facilitate effective decision making by bringing together stakeholders and surfacing trade-offs.
Coordinate business readiness activities ahead of key releases and go-lives.
Connect with the business sponsor on adoption post roll-out, run project retrospectives, and track success criteria completion.
Co-develop PMO ways of working with the Programme Director to enhance team maturity and portfolio operations.
Drive Jira maturity across the full delivery lifecycle to enable automations.
Role model behaviours and processes for junior team members and coach them.

Requirements

Proven experience delivering complex technology programmes within digital transformation, technology transformation, and/or technology-enabled business transformation environments.
Strong technical foundation with experience working across business applications, digital products, data platforms, integrations, infrastructure, and enterprise technology environments.
Solid understanding of software development lifecycles, modern technology architecture, and Agile delivery methodologies.
Solid understanding of modern cloud data platforms (e.g. Databricks, Lakehouse architecture) and legacy-to-cloud migration principles.
Ability to identify and manage data-specific risks (quality, reconciliation, compliance) and understand the complexities of integrating multiple source systems.
Comfortable managing teams with varying levels of technical experience.
Commercially aware of cloud data platform cost considerations.
Experience working across cross-functional teams including technical and business stakeholders.
Highly organised with strong operational and PMO discipline.
Commercially minded with a strong understanding of how technology supports business processes, operational efficiency, and measurable business value.
Strong understanding of business readiness, adoption, and change management.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable language for non-technical audiences.
