We work with external build partners SIs vendors specialist firm and we need someone who can run those engagements with real grip.

Youll be the connective tissue between our Development and Engineering team the build partner doing the work and our external customers making sure scope timelines dependencies and quality stay where they need to be. This is technical project management at the sharper end: you understand whats being built you can read a delivery plan critically and you dont take a vendors word for it when something doesnt add up.

• Run external build partners end-to-end setting expectations managing delivery against them and holding partners accountable when scope timelines or quality slip
