You will lead the enterprise delivery and rollout of an Internal Developer Platform (IDP), working with client technology leaders, engineering teams, architects and platform engineers to establish the platform as a strategic capability across the organisation. The role will lead the programme from roadmap and initial platform capabilities through pilot, enterprise rollout, adoption and transition into ongoing operation and product development. This is not a generalist programme or project management role. You are not expected to be the hands-on technical lead, but you will need sufficient Platform Engineering, DevOps and cloud experience to understand the technology, challenge designs and estimates, manage complex technical dependencies and build credibility with senior engineering stakeholders. You will combine strong technical delivery leadership with programme management, stakeholder management and client advisory skills, ensuring that platform capability and organisational adoption progress together.
- Programme leadership: Own end-to-end delivery of the IDP programme, from roadmap and platform capability development through pilot, rollout, adoption and transition into ongoing operation.
- Client leadership: Act as a trusted delivery partner to senior client technology and engineering stakeholders, providing clear visibility of progress, risks, dependencies and decisions.
- Platform roadmap: Work with client stakeholders, architects and engineering leads to translate strategic objectives into a prioritised IDP roadmap and delivery plan.
- Enterprise rollout: Plan and manage the onboarding of engineering teams and applications onto the platform in controlled waves, coordinating technical readiness, dependencies and adoption activities.
- Backlog and demand: Own programme-level prioritisation and coordination across platform capabilities, integrations, onboarding requirements and engineering demand.
- Cross-workstream delivery: Coordinate Platform Engineering, Cloud, DevOps, Security, Architecture, Developer Experience and application teams required to deliver the platform successfully.
- Governance: Establish effective programme governance covering milestones, deliverables, RAID, dependencies, decisions, financials, resource planning and delivery forecasting.
- Adoption and value: Track platform adoption and outcomes, including engineering-team
