About the role

This role exists because moving fast across all of those workstreams simultaneously, while keeping every partner aligned, every regulatory dependency visible, and every documented commitment honoured, requires a distinct person whose primary output is programme coherence. Not slides. Not strategy decks. Actual forward motion, recorded, traceable, and accelerating.

The Technical Programme Manager is the connective tissue of the AV deployment programme. You sit between the Head of Product & Deployment, the ADS technology partners, the vehicle OEMs, the regulatory authorities, and the internal engineering and operations teams — translating technical complexity into clear decisions, clear accountabilities, and clear written records that the programme can build on.

Main tasks and responsibilities

• Own and maintain the master programme plan and critical path across all workstreams, managing risks, dependencies, and milestone reporting to board and external partners.
• Lead delivery-focused relationships with ADS technology partners, tracking contractual milestones, running structured review cadences, and managing cross-partner information flow.
• Ensure consistency across workstream technical decisions, own interface documentation (stack diagrams, API specs, data flow architecture), and facilitate resolution of technical conflicts.
• Maintain a regulatory milestone tracker across European markets, coordinate evidence package submissions, and monitor evolving EU and national regulatory requirements for programme impact.
• Produce and maintain the core documentation set including programme plan, risk register, decision log, and partner commitment tracker, ensuring institutional knowledge is captured and accessible.
• Write weekly programme status reports, prepare monthly board-level summaries with milestone progress and risk overviews, and produce formal partner-facing communications including action logs and change notifications.

About you

• Solid experience in technical programme or project management in complex, multi-partner, multi-workstream environments.
• Direct experience in at least one of: autonomous vehicles, advanced mobility, robotics, aerospace, or similarly safety-critical systems engineering.
• Demonstrated ability to manage simultaneous delivery relationships with external technology partners — not just internal teams.
• Experience producing and maintaining programme documentation that technical and non-technical stakeholders actually use: programme plans, risk registers, decision logs, integration architecture documents.
• Comfort operating at both the strategic level (board communications, partner strategy) and the detailed level (tracking individual deliverable milestones, running working-level partner reviews).
• Working knowledge of safety-critical systems development processes (V-model, systems engineering, safety case structure, or equivalent) and familiarity with European regulatory environments — type approval, national competent authorities, or equivalent.
