• We’re looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead complex company wide programmes driven by the Operations collective. You’ll turn ambitious ideas into clear plans, bring a large and varied group of partners with you and help teams deliver lasting change

• You’ll lead high-impact programmes from strategy through to measurable outcomes. These may cover AI-powered customer support, tools that help our Customer Operations teams, or the platforms and processes behind millions of operational decisions
• Build strong partnerships at every level
• You’ll work with a large and varied group of partners. This could include frontline Operations teams, subject matter experts, product and engineering teams, risk and compliance partners, senior leaders and executives
• Drive change, not just delivery
• You’ll help the whole collective adopt new ways of working. You’ll understand how changes affect people, processes and technology, then build that into the programme from the start
• Lead end-to-end planning and execution of major product or platform programs that cross multiple teams and markets
• Manage cross-collective programmes:
• Define programme roadmaps and milestones, set priorities, manage trade-offs, identify and manage the critical path and risks, ensure alignment with the business goals and ambition
• Collaborate and communicate with multiple stakeholders, both technical and non-technical across the business to ensure alignment and speed of delivery
• Manage dependencies, timeline and the sequencing of delivery
• Drive effective decision making to remove blockers
• Ensure operational effectiveness across your collective/area
• Most companies are adding AI to existing support processes. We’re redesigning the operating model itself
• You’ll help shape how intelligent automation and human expertise work together in a highly regulated environment. The programmes you lead will affect how teams across Operations work and how millions of customers get help
• You’ll have the scope to influence strategy, the responsibility to turn it into action and the chance to build ways of working that scale
