Position: Senior Technical Program Manager
Locations: Cambridge, UK / Philadelphia, PA
Employment Type: Full-time
The Job
AVEVA’s Chief Technologist Organization is hiring an experienced technical program manager to help us track and coordinate our work investigating and incubating emerging technologies. Reporting to the VP, Strategic Programs & Operations, you'll work closely with technical leaders across the organization to develop and define program plans for our technical initiatives, making sure they align to our broader strategy and priorities, have well-defined objectives that further our technical understanding in key areas, and include concrete milestones and deliverables. You'll develop and implement tracking and reporting processes so leadership always has a clear, up-to-date view of progress.
This role offers an exciting opportunity to shape how our growing organization structures its programming in a way that allows us to deliver innovative and advanced industrial technology. The ideal candidate has a deep technical grounding that allows them to quickly develop understanding of emerging technical areas (e.g. AI, IoT, XR/VR, etc), strong multi-level communication and organization skills, and the ability to synthesize technical details into coherent programs.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop a flexible but repeatable approach to defining technical program plans that can be applied across the CT organization
Help technical leaders connect their plans to the org's broader priorities and strategy, flagging gaps or misalignment
Work with senior technical leaders within the CT Organization to translate requirements from other parts of AVEVA and customers into tangible programs that align to the CT Org’s broader strategy
Track progress across initiatives and keep documentation and dashboards current so status is always visible
Spot risks, bottlenecks, or scaling issues early by staying close to the technical details, and raise them before they become problems
Set up and run a regular cadence for reviews, decisions, and prioritization across initiatives
Make sure initiatives follow privacy, security, and responsible-technology guidelines
Build strong relationships across teams so you can get accurate information, keep people aligned, and manage dependencies between initiatives
Provide operational support for AVEVA’s AI Capabilities Operating Committee (AICO), which drives alignment across AI solution and capability within AVEVA products and services
Essential Requirements:
- 12+ years of experience in technical program management, including 5+ years working closely with complex emerging-technology initiatives
- Strong enough technical background to understand and translate what technical leaders are building, even without leading that work directly
- Skilled at turning informal or in-progress technical work into clear, structured program plans
- Experience helping teams align their work to broader organizational strategy and priorities
- Experience working in regulated industries like industrial, IoT, life sciences, manufacturing, energy, or similar
- Strong communication skills — able to build trust with technical leaders, translate technical work for non-technical audiences, and clearly report status and risks
- Master's degree in Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, or a related field; PhD preferred
- Project Management Professional (PMP) certification preferred.
Desired Skills and Competencies:
Familiarity with responsible deployment, risk management, and technology governance practices
Curious, detail-oriented mindset — comfortable digging into technical work you're not personally building
Comfortable working iteratively and adjusting plans as technical work evolves
What Success Looks Like:
Technical leaders' work is clearly reflected in structured, trackable program plans
Initiatives stay visibly aligned with the org's broader strategy and priorities
Leadership always has an accurate, up-to-date view of progress across initiatives
Risks and misalignments are caught early, not after the fact
Simple, reusable templates and processes make planning and tracking easier over time
Strong trust and collaboration with technical leaders, even without formal authority over their work
