This is not a traditional Programme Management, Architecture, or Delivery Management role. It is a unique opportunity to lead the technical integration of complex technology programmes, ensuring that technical, commercial, operational, and delivery activities are aligned from programme mobilisation through to operational handover. The Technical Programme Integration Manager provides strategic technical leadership from programme inception through to operational transition, ensuring that business objectives, solution architecture, procurement, supplier delivery, implementation, and operational readiness are aligned within a coherent and executable delivery model. Operating across organisational, supplier, and technical boundaries, the Technical Programme Integration Manager identifies dependencies, resolves ambiguity, challenges assumptions, and provides direction to ensure programmes remain deliverable throughout their lifecycle. This role provides the technical integration leadership needed to connect these disciplines into a single, coordinated programme, ensuring successful delivery and a smooth transition into operations. Key duties include: Working closely with Programme Managers, Architects, Delivery Managers, Engineering Teams, Service Management, and external suppliers, you will: * Shape and maintain the end-to-end technical delivery strategy for major technology programmes. * Translate technical understanding into an executable delivery approach spanning engineering capability, operational readiness, and live service transition. * Ensure technical activities across the programme operate as a single integrated delivery capability rather than as independent workstreams. * Coordinate technical dependencies across multiple programme workstreams, ensuring outputs from one workstream are consumable by another. * Provide technical leadership during complex delivery challenges, facilitating resolution through collaboration with architects, engineers, and technical specialists. * Challenge assumptions, identify delivery and technical risks, and recommend pragmatic solutions before issues impact programme outcomes. * Provide integrated technical advice to programme leadership, enabling informed decision-making across technical and delivery domains. * Support readiness for future system enhancements by ensuring engineering capability, governance, and delivery processes are established. * Ensure technical changes are delivered in accordance with contractual requirements and that key activities and deliverables are ratified through relevant TfL governance forums, including the Technical Authority and Change Advisory Board (CAB). * Play a key role in establishing and continuously improving the technical delivery model required to safely deliver technical changes into TfL's revenue collection systems. In addition, you will: * Define and validate the end-to-end programme engineering lifecycle, ensuring that source code, configuration, intellectual property, build processes, environments, testing, deployment, and service management activities operate as an integrated delivery system. * Guide the establishment of development environments, engineering tooling, build pipelines, and supporting technical processes required for programme delivery * Ensure technical knowledge capture activities are effectively integrated with programme delivery. * Help establish the engineering processes, environments, tooling, and governance required to safely maintain and enhance the TfL revenue collection platform. * Provide strategic technical oversight, ensuring delivery remains achievable, technically sound, and operationally ready. ## Related Videos - [Empowering Democratic Processes: Building a Hybrid Voting Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1163-empowering-democratic-processes-building-a-hybrid-voting-platform) - [How will artificial intelligence change the future of software testing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/85-how-will-artificial-intelligence-change-the-future-of-software-testing) - [AI Agents & Agentic AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2017-ai-agents-agentic-ai) - [Unlocking the potential of Digital & IT at Vodafone](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/602-unlocking-the-potential-of-digital-it-at-vodafone) - [Reusing apps between teams and environments through Containers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/107-reusing-apps-between-teams-and-environments-through-containers) - [The user in the eye of the Cargo1492 storm](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/96-the-user-in-the-eye-of-the-cargo1492-storm) ## Related Articles - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [IT Salaries in UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/288-it-salaries-in-uk) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again)
