## Description

## Job Overview

As a Software Programme Manager for Helsing's Land domain, you will be the primary point of contact for customers and partners across a complex, high-stakes defence programme. You will own stakeholder relationships and take a considered approach to commercial engagement within a defined value proposition.

## Responsibilities

- Maintain and update programme roadmaps and steering dashboards, tracking KPIs across engineering milestones and contractual obligations to give leadership timely and accurate performance data

- Facilitate sprint cadences, backlog refinement, standups, and retrospectives with software and AI engineering teams to maintain high delivery tempo

- Translate contractual milestones into iterative product roadmaps and sprint backlogs, balancing agile software development cycles with fixed customer delivery expectations

- Serve as the primary point of contact for customer and partner stakeholders, managing relationships across programme delivery and ensuring Helsing's commitments are met at every milestone

- Manage commercial engagement within your programme, identifying opportunities, supporting proposals and keeping delivery progress aligned to agreed value propositions

- Orchestrate Helsing's capabilities across engineering, commercial and operational workstreams, aligning contributors to the right challenges entirely independently over timelines spanning a month to a quarter

- Monitor programme risks with a forward-looking approach, preparing structured course-correction recommendations for leadership before delivery timelines are affected

## Requirements

- Have managed the end-to-end delivery of software products in B2B or B2G environments using agile methodologies, taking complex technical capabilities from development through to operational delivery

- Bring hands-on Scrum Master experience facilitating agile ceremonies, managing backlogs, and unblocking engineering teams in practice rather than just holding theoretical course certifications

- Have built and owned senior stakeholder relationships and can navigate complex, multi-party environments with clarity and commercial awareness

- Have developed programme steering mechanisms, dashboards and risk frameworks, and can translate programme performance into clear, decision-ready reporting for senior leadership

- Hold a PMP certification or equivalent, or are actively working towards one, and apply structured project management methodologies in high-accountability environments

- Communicate with full fluency in English, written and spoken, are willing to travel regularly across sites, and can meet all requirements for national security clearance under applicable law

## Nice to Have

- Prior delivery experience directly into UK defence or government

- Experience contributing to bid writing, statement of work, or technical proposal submissions

- Practical experience applying Agile or hybrid project management methodologies to physical hardware or integrated systems delivery

- Exposure to Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning technologies, edge computing, or embedded software integration

- PMP, APM (PMQ), PRINCE2, or equivalent formal project management accreditation

## Benefits

- Competitive salary and VSOP options

- Relocation support: up to €2,500 and 4 weeks temporary accommodation

- Learning: €500/£450 yearly allowance

- Health & wellness: gym membership and mental health support (Nilo.health)
