Technical Infrastructure Program Manager Jobs in Alaska

Senior Technical Program Manager

United Kingdom

Role Overview

As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will lead the execution and delivery on our critical customer programs, ensuring successful delivery of complex space electronics, RF, communications, and edge computing solutions. This role sits at the centre of the business, coordinating engineering, operations, supply chain, customers, and leadership teams to deliver against demanding technical, schedule, cost, and quality objectives.

You will combine strong program management discipline with a solid technical foundation, enabling you to engage confidently with multidisciplinary engineering teams and understand the technical challenges, risks, and decisions that drive successful delivery. The role requires sufficient technical depth to challenge plans, assess development maturity, identify emerging risks, and support effective decision making throughout the product lifecycle.

As the company continues to grow, this role is expected to evolve beyond ownership of a single critical program into the management of multiple programs and ultimately a broader portfolio of strategic customer activities. This position offers a unique opportunity to develop into a senior program leadership role while helping shape the future of our delivery organisation.

This is a hybrid role, with office-based working expected for most of the working week, while retaining flexibility to support program and business requirements
