What you'll do

  • Coordinate delivery across multiple related projects or workstreams to ensure alignment with programme goals.
  • Maintain a clear, high-level view of progress, risks, dependencies, and resource needs across the programme.
  • Support roadmap shaping and programme-level planning with Technical Leads and product/strategy stakeholders.
  • Facilitate alignment discussions across teams to clarify priorities, architectural considerations, and sequencing decisions.
  • Lead delivery activities using Kanban and flow-based agile practices across one or more teams.
  • Maintain visibility of work-in-progress, blockers, throughput, and upcoming priorities.
  • Support teams in balancing feature delivery, technical debt, architectural improvements, and research/activity spikes.
  • Encourage continuous flow, reducing bottlenecks and ensuring smooth transitions between stages of delivery.
  • Provide structured but concise reporting suitable for programme sponsors and senior leadership.
  • Track progress against objectives, milestones, and commitments across multiple workstreams.
  • Capture key decisions, risks, issues, and actions in a lightweight but traceable way.
  • Help define and mature TwinStream's delivery governance model — ensuring it remains agile and value-driven.
  • Identify and manage programme-level risks, ensuring they are surfaced early and escalated appropriately.
  • Coordinate cross-team and cross-vendor dependencies with clarity and urgency.
  • Use a pragmatic, simple RAID process to maintain visibility and drive mitigation actions.
  • Support teams in resolving blockers that span across technical or organisational boundaries.
  • Act as the central coordination point for engineering, Technical Leads, internal stakeholders, and (when relevant) customers.
  • Communicate delivery updates with clarity, tailored to the audience — technical or non-technical.
  • Align expectations around timelines, scope, assumptions, and emerging risks.
  • Support commercial teams during pre-sales, estimation, and contract/change discussions as needed.
  • Contribute to improving TwinStream's delivery framework, tools, and documentation.
  • Help establish scalable delivery patterns as TwinStream takes on more complex and multi-stream programmes.
  • Promote transparency, psychological safety, and a culture of proactive delivery.

What we're looking for

  • Experience managing software delivery across multiple teams or workstreams, not just single-project coordination.
  • Strong understanding of flow-based agile delivery and programme-level planning.
  • Proven ability to identify cross-cutting risks, large dependencies, and structural blockers.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills at all levels of the organisation.
  • Confidence operating in environments that value structure but avoid heavy process.
  • A pragmatic, solution-focused mindset and the ability to bring clarity in uncertainty.
  • Must be UK-based and eligible for DV clearance.

Benefits

  • Pension plan with 8% employer contribution.
  • Private medical healthcare including dental and optical care for you and your family.
  • Learning and development with autonomy to shape your growth.
  • Flexible working.
  • Electric vehicle leasing scheme via salary sacrifice.
  • 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
  • Quarterly meetings, Christmas and summer parties.
  • Life assurance.
  • Cycle-to-work scheme.
