About The Role

The Senior Project Manager, CTO Support, owns project management for initiatives run directly out of the CTO's office — strategic technical projects, executive-sponsored initiatives, and cross-company technical priorities that need close coordination and visibility.

You will work closely with the CTO's office to keep fast-moving, high-visibility projects organised, tracked, and moving — acting as the connective tissue between strategic intent and day-to-day execution.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Own project plans and execution for initiatives sponsored by the CTO's office

  • Coordinate across engineering, product, and delivery teams on CTO-level priorities

  • Prepare materials, updates, and briefings for CTO and executive reviews

  • Track action items and decisions from executive/technical leadership meetings

  • Manage timelines and dependencies for fast-moving, high-visibility projects

  • Identify risks early and escalate appropriately to the CTO's office

  • Support ad hoc strategic analysis and initiative scoping as directed by the CTO

What You Bring

  • Project management experience supporting senior technical leadership is essential

  • Strong organisational skills and comfort operating in high-visibility, fast-changing environments

  • Excellent written and verbal communication, including executive-level briefing

  • Technical fluency sufficient to engage credibly with engineering leadership

  • Discretion and judgement handling sensitive, executive-level information
