Senior Technical Program Manager

Are you passionate about bringing structure to complexity and orchestrating cross-functional teams to turn ambitious technical visions into reality?

We are looking for an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to join the Software Factory team within Software and Digital Services at SI Buildings.

The role will be responsible for managing complex, cross-functional technical programs from initial definition through implementation, rollout, adoption, and completion.

The Senior Technical Program Manager will take end-to-end ownership of assigned programs, bringing together the technical, product, operational, and business perspectives required for successful delivery. The role requires strong technical understanding, combined with the ability to work effectively across product management, engineering, architecture, platform, regional, and business topics.

Programs may include the deployment and scaling of software solutions across regions, the evolution of software products and platform capabilities, enterprise readiness, interoperability and technology-enabled transformation initiatives.

This is a hands-on program management role focused on creating structure, coordinating teams, managing dependencies, resolving blockers, and ensuring that programs deliver the intended outcomes.

Your new responsibilities

• Take end-to-end ownership of technical programs, from initial definition and planning through implementation, rollout, adoption, and completion. Translate program objectives into clear workstreams, plans, milestones, responsibilities, dependencies, and expected outcomes
• Coordinate multiple teams and initiatives across product management, engineering, architecture, platform services, data, operations, and regional organizations
• Ensure that technical, product, business, customer, and operational requirements are considered throughout the program.
• Work closely with product managers and technical teams to understand priorities, requirements, constraints, trade-offs, and delivery needs
• Maintain a complete view of the program and ensure that individual workstreams remain aligned with the overall objectives.
• Track progress, risks, issues, decisions, and dependencies, and ensure that appropriate actions are taken to keep the program moving. Identify gaps, blockers, and cross-team dependencies early and work with the relevant teams to define practical solutions
• Establish clear ways of working, ownership, governance, decision-making processes, and escalation paths
• Support alignment between global software and product direction and regional, customer, or market-specific requirements
• Ensure that solutions are prepared not only for technical delivery, but also for rollout, adoption, operation, support, and future scaling
• Define and track relevant program success measures
• Provide clear and structured communication to stakeholders regarding progress, risks, decisions, dependencies, and next steps

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• Longterm experience in technical program management, program management, software delivery, technology transformation, or a comparable role
• Demonstrated experience managing complex, cross-functional programs involving multiple teams and technical dependencies.
• Proven ability to take ownership of programs end-to-end rather than managing only individual tasks, schedules, or isolated projects
• Strong technical understanding of software products, digital solutions, cloud services, APIs, data, integrations, or related technology environments
• Ability to participate confidently in technical discussions while also understanding product, business, operational, and customer considerations
• Experience working with product managers, software engineering teams, architects, platform teams, operations teams, regional organizations, and business stakeholders
• Strong planning, coordination, problem-solving, dependency-management, and risk-management skills
• Ability to bring structure to ambiguous topics and translate them into clear actions, responsibilities, and delivery plans
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• Experience working in distributed, international, or matrixed organizations
• Ability to manage several interconnected workstreams while maintaining focus on the overall program outcome
• Comfortable working at both program level and in the practical detail required to move delivery forward
• Proficient English skills
