About the Role

We are seeking a Lead Technical Program Manager (Cloud) to oversee the delivery of complex, cross-team cloud programs, including migrations, platform and landing zone builds, and infrastructure modernization. You will ensure program plans are complete, dependencies are visible, and leadership is informed of progress in a regulated environment. A strong technical understanding and experience with scaled agile delivery and AI-enabled working are essential.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end delivery of multiple concurrent hybrid cloud programs across AWS, Azure and on-prem.
Translate strategy into measurable outcomes and present trade-offs on scope, timelines, capacity, and budget to senior leadership.
Manage resource program allocation with finance, product, and engineering partners, considering the cost impact of delivery decisions.
Build and maintain a working understanding of cloud platform components and identify design-related risks.
Map the full route from commit to production, planning around lead times with clear ownership and delivery targets.
Identify and manage cross-team dependencies such as namespaces, landing zones, network connections, certificates, or vendor and security reviews.
Challenge engineers on estimates, identifying gaps in areas like environment provisioning, access requests, pipeline changes, security sign-off, integration testing, observability, or rollout.
Understand release approaches (e.g., blue-green, canary, phased rollout) and rollback strategies.
Set go/no-go criteria with technical leads and lead readiness decisions.
Ensure architecture and design decisions are raised early, owned by engineers and architects, and made in time to protect the schedule.
Manage RAID logs and delivery health metrics, providing clear status reporting to steering committees and senior stakeholders.
Collaborate with security, risk, architecture, and compliance teams to ensure deliverables meet regulatory, resiliency, and control requirements.

Requirements

7+ years of experience leading technical programs, with a proven ability to identify, track, and mitigate risks, dependencies, and blockers proactively.
Experience delivering cloud, infrastructure, or platform programs into production, such as migrations, platform builds, or environment readiness.
Deep understanding of how cloud infrastructure works across AWS, Azure, and on-prem, including key platform components and their dependencies.
Strong understanding of the path to production, including CI/CD, infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM/Bicep, Ansible), security scans, and change approval.
Ability to challenge estimates that appear incomplete during refinement and planning.
Ability to explain lift-and-shift, re-platforming, and re-architecting, and link each option to cost, timeline, and risk.
Understanding of blue-green, canary, and phased releases, rollback, and go/no-go readiness.
Experience planning security and compliance into delivery from the outset, including IAM, network segmentation, encryption, and audit requirements.
Experienced in executive reporting, using delivery metrics to drive decisions and influence senior executives and technical leaders.
Proficient in Jira and Confluence for project tracking, workflow management, and reporting.
