About the Role 

We're looking for a Senior Technical Project Manager to join our Technical Project Management capability, helping project teams design and deliver digital, data and AI-enabled projects and programmes. You'll manage and lead Agile teams, remove impediments to progress, and keep delivery risks and dependencies on track — bringing delivery experience across AI, Data and Digital (AD&D) specialties without needing to be hands-on technical. 

Working closely with your team and a wide range of stakeholders, you'll champion good Agile practice, drive continuous improvement, and help Ascent teams deliver great outcomes for our customers.

• Champion good Agile practices within Ascent teams to support our ongoing improvement.
