Position Overview

Vantage is building a platform-led Product organisation to enable repeatable, predictable, faster delivery of data centres through disciplined standardisation, governed variants, and closed-loop learning.

The Technical Program Manager (TPM) is an execution and enablement leader within Product Operations, responsible for running cross-functional programs that strengthen how the Product organisation ships and scales. Reporting to the Principal TPM, this role helps build and operate the mechanisms that allow teams to execute at speed without chaos: readiness gates, dependency management, decision hygiene, and closed-loop learning.

This is not a construction project manager role and does not replace Delivery or regional execution. It enables the platform Product organisation by ensuring programs have clear scope, owners, decision paths, evidence expectations, and measurable outcomes.

What You’ll Do

• Own one or more cross-cutting Product programs end-to-end (definition, planning, execution, rollout, retrospective), coordinating across Product Management, Industrialised Delivery, Engineering, Deployment, Delivery, Operations, Procurement, Finance, and vendors.
• Build and maintain clear execution plans with milestones, interlocks, risks, and measurable outcomes; ensure owners and decision deadlines are explicit.
• Operate readiness checklists and go/no-go gates for releases or rollouts within your program scope; ensure required artefacts and evidence are produced, reviewed, and stored.

Strong technical fluency in data centre systems and lifecycle realities (power, cooling, controls/telemetry, commissioning, handover, supplier ecosystem).

Strong written and verbal communication; capable of producing crisp decision memos and driving alignment without consensus.

Preferred

• Experience building or operating readiness gates and go/no-go processes for complex system rollouts.
• Experience with lessons-learned systems and closed-loop feedback in deployment, commissioning, or operations contexts.
