Technical Programme Manager

Job Summary

We are hiring a Consultant with Technical Program Management expertise who has hands-on senior delivery leader within Global Technology Solutions, accountable for personally driving end-to-end execution across complex, cross functional technology initiatives spanning Supply Chain, Quality, Operations, and Global Technology Solutions.

The role actively owns the full breadth of program and project management disciplines—scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk, and dependency management—operating hands on with teams and partners to resolve issues, manage trade offs, and sustain delivery momentum.

The role is for a delivery leader who is equally comfortable owning a single, high impact project or leading a large, multi workstream program, scaling governance, engagement, and execution depth based on complexity, risk, and business criticality.

Roles and Responsibilities:

Program / Project Leadership & Execution (Primary Accountability)

• Lead end to end planning and execution of multi year, multi workstream technology programs / projects spanning the supply chain.
• Lead delivery of either major standalone initiatives or complex, multi workstream programs, adapting governance, cadence, and depth of hands on engagement to match regulatory risk, scale, and delivery criticality
• Support development of an integrated GTS Supply chain master plan including milestones, dependencies, and critical path.
• Drive disciplined management of scope, schedule, cost, risks, and issues with clear escalation paths.
• Ensure delivery readiness through structured checkpoints (design readiness, build readiness, cutover readiness).
• Lead delivery discussions in governance forums, steerco meetings, and executive reviews, bringing first hand insight from active program execution and framing clear options, risks, and trade offs for decision
• Provide independent challenge and decision support on delivery trade offs, sequencing, and investment choices.
• Coach and guide other project and program managers in Singapore & Malaysia, embedding delivery standards and expectations.
• Act as delivery continuity and escalation lead, representing the Director where required and ensuring momentum, decision quality, and alignment across initiatives during periods of change or absence.

This role is not a PMO or coordination position; success requires direct ownership of plans, risks, dependencies, and delivery outcomes.

Integrated Planning & Active Portfolio Orchestration

• Actively manage and resolve cross program dependencies across Supply Chain, Quality, Operations, and GTS portfolios.
• Own resolution of sequencing conflicts and resource bottlenecks, driving agreed mitigations directly into integrated delivery plans.

Stakeholder Management & Communication

• Build strong, trust based relationships with site leadership, Engineering, Ops, Quality, and IT.
• Translate complex technical delivery topics into concise, executive level communications.
• Produce and present steerco packs covering:
• Delivery status
• Key risks and decisions required
• Dependency and capacity impacts
• Drive timely decision making across global and regional stakeholders.

Governance, Tooling & Ways of Working

• Embed consistent delivery standards across programs through direct application on active initiatives, not by policy definition alone.
• Drive disciplined, hands on use of Jira, Confluence, and delivery dashboards to enable transparency, foresight, and predictable outcomes.
• Embed scalable governance rhythms aligned to GTS operating model.
• Leverage data, automation, and AI enabled reporting to improve foresight and execution confidence.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify systemic delivery risks and improvement opportunities across programs.
• Actively contribute to the evolution of GTS planning, governance, and portfolio practices.
• Champion lessons learned and continuous improvement across the Supply Chain and QARA delivery community.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s Degree in IT/Computer Science or related discipline.

• Demonstrated experience delivering large scale, complex technology solutions across multiple domains (enterprise applications, cloud, manufacturing systems), with end to end delivery responsibility from planning through to cutover and stabilization.
• Demonstrated aspiration and capability to grow beyond a single program remit, taking on broader delivery leadership, coaching responsibility, and enterprise level problem solving over time.
• Proven track record managing multi vendor and systems integrator led programs, including coordination of internal teams and external partners to tight timelines and quality expectations.
• Strong capability in managing high levels of ambiguity and complexity, translating loosely defined strategic intent into executable plans with clear milestones, dependencies, and outcomes.
• Exceptional stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, with the ability to operate credibly with senior executives, site leadership, and functional leads.
• Demonstrated strength in executive level communication, including the ability to:
• Articulate complex technical issues in clear, business focused language
