Software Project Manager

TwinStream is a company focused on delivering technical excellence and high-quality service to clients. They are seeking a Software Project Manager to coordinate project and programme-level delivery, ensuring alignment among stakeholders and managing risks effectively.

Responsibilities:

• Coordinate delivery across multiple related projects or workstreams to ensure alignment with programme goals
• Maintain a clear, high-level view of progress, risks, dependencies, and resource needs across the programme
• Support roadmap shaping and programme-level planning with Technical Leads and product/strategy stakeholders
• Facilitate alignment discussions across teams to clarify priorities, architectural considerations, and sequencing decisions
• Lead delivery activities using Kanban and flow-based agile practices across one or more teams
• Maintain visibility of work-in-progress, blockers, throughput, and upcoming priorities
• Support teams in balancing feature delivery, technical debt, architectural improvements, and research/activity spikes
• Encourage continuous flow, reducing bottlenecks and ensuring smooth transitions between stages of delivery
• Provide structured but concise reporting suitable for programme sponsors and senior leadership
• Track progress against objectives, milestones, and commitments across multiple workstreams
• Capture key decisions, risks, issues, and actions in a lightweight but traceable way
• Help define and mature TwinStream’s delivery governance model — ensuring it remains agile and value-driven
• Identify and manage programme-level risks, ensuring they are surfaced early and escalated appropriately
• Coordinate cross-team and cross-vendor dependencies with clarity and urgency
• Use a pragmatic, simple RAID process to maintain visibility and drive mitigation actions
• Support teams in resolving blockers that span across technical or organisational boundaries
• Act as the central coordination point for engineering, Technical Leads, internal stakeholders, and (when relevant) customers
• Communicate delivery updates with clarity, tailored to the audience — technical or non-technical
• Align expectations around timelines, scope, assumptions, and emerging risks
• Support commercial teams during pre-sales, estimation, and contract/change discussions as needed
• Contribute to improving TwinStream’s delivery framework, tools, and documentation
• Help establish scalable delivery patterns as TwinStream takes on more complex and multi-stream programmes
• Promote transparency, psychological safety, and a culture of proactive delivery

Requirements:

• Experience managing software delivery across multiple teams or workstreams, not just single-project coordination
• Strong understanding of flow-based agile delivery and programme-level planning
• Proven ability to identify cross-cutting risks, large dependencies, and structural blockers
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills at all levels of the organisation
• Confidence operating in environments that value structure but avoid heavy process
• A pragmatic, solution-focused mindset and the ability to bring clarity in uncertainty
• Eligibility for [BPSS / SC / DV] clearance
• Meet the UK Government's residency and right-to-work requirements associated with the required level of clearance
