Job Summary

We are looking for a dynamic and versatile Technical Project Manager to lead complex technology transformation initiatives for one of our key clients in the airline industry. This individual will play a critical role in driving end-to-end delivery of high-impact projects, ranging from system modernization and integration to digital enablement and value assurance.

The ideal candidate combines strong stakeholder engagement capabilities — including direct interaction with C-level executives — with hands-on delivery expertise. A solid understanding of modern IT architectures, delivery practices, and enterprise systems is essential. This is a hybrid role, requiring presence at the client’s office 2 to 3 days per week.

Key Responsibilities

Program & Project Delivery

• Lead the delivery of complex technology initiatives from planning through execution, ensuring alignment with client goals and strategic priorities.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams to successfully deliver programs involving system modernization, platform integrations, and process optimization.
• Drive delivery cadence, ensuring progress across multiple initiatives while maintaining alignment with key milestones, dependencies, and KPIs.
  

Stakeholder Management

• Serve as the primary point of contact for client stakeholders, building trust and credibility at multiple levels — from delivery teams to C-suite.
• Facilitate executive updates, working sessions, and steering committees with clarity and strategic thinking.
• Translate technical concepts into business-relevant outcomes.

Team & Delivery Leadership

• Foster team alignment and collaboration between technical, functional, and business stakeholders to ensure project execution and value realization.
• Address bottlenecks proactively, resolve cross-team issues, and maintain delivery momentum under evolving project and business conditions.
• Collaborate with client and internal teams to manage scope, resourcing, risks, and priorities.

Technical Fluency

• Maintain a clear understanding of enterprise architecture, platforms (AWS cloud, data, integration), automation tools, and delivery pipelines.
• Able to troubleshoot issues in collaboration with architects and engineers, and bring informed perspectives to technical discussions.
• Serve as a bridge between delivery execution and technical enablement, guiding decisions with both business and technical insight.

Qualifications

• Extensive experience in IT projects or delivery management within technology transformation environments.
• Experience leading multi-stream programs involving modernization, cloud migration, integration, and/or digital capabilities.
• Proven track record managing senior stakeholders and delivering enterprise-wide initiatives with measurable impact.
• Comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels — able to navigate high-level stakeholder conversations while getting hands-on when needed.
• Strong familiarity with agile delivery practices, Jira/Confluence, PMO methodologies, and enterprise IT environments.
• Prior experience in airline, travel, or transportation industries is highly desirable.
• Availability to work onsite at the client’s office 2–3 days per week (near Heathrow)

• Experience with DevOps culture and methodologies.
• Knowledge of modern application delivery (microservices, containerization).
• Experience working in the aviation industry (e.g., airlines and airport operations).
