Job description

Technical Project Manager – Digital Platform Modernisation

6–12 Month Contract | Inside IR35 | Nottingham or London | 2–3 Days Onsite per Week

We’re looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager to lead the technical delivery plan for a major web-based platform modernisation programme.

This is not a hands-on engineering role. You’ll sit between architecture, technical SMEs, delivery teams and external partners, translating architectural direction into a clear, sequenced delivery roadmap and managing the dependencies required to keep delivery moving.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and maintain the technical delivery plan across data, backend, integrations and UI/UX.
• Translate HLD/LLD into epics and directional tickets, ensuring work is ready to flow into squad backlogs.
• Identify and manage complex cross-team dependencies, risks and blockers.
• Coordinate architects, technical SMEs, BAs, development squads and external delivery partners.
• Facilitate technical workshops to resolve issues, align priorities and drive decisions.
• Work closely with the Programme Lead to align technical delivery with SAFe/PI planning and agile delivery.
• Manage RAID, milestones and technical delivery reporting for senior stakeholders.
• Ensure external delivery partner plans and outputs integrate effectively with internal teams.

Essential Experience

• Strong track record delivering complex, multi-team technical transformation programmes.
• Experience with platform modernisation, re-architecture or large-scale digital transformation.
• Strong understanding of HLD/LLD → Epic → Story delivery.
• Excellent dependency management, sequencing and RAID management skills.
• Experience coordinating data, backend, integration and front-end/UI workstreams.
• Experience managing third-party delivery partners/vendors alongside internal teams.
• Strong Agile experience; SAFe or other scaled Agile environments highly desirable.
• Confident working with architects and technical SMEs without needing to be the technical authority.

Desirable: Healthcare/regulated-sector experience, data platform migrations, UI/UX transformation and SAFe/PMP certification.
