Technical Program Manager
Remote, U.K.
12 months contract
Rate: 37.02 to 41.35/hour on PAYE
CV Deadline 29/10 COB
Role:
Client seeks a highly motivated, detail oriented, and collaborative Technical Program Manager to join the eDiscovery & Information Governance team within client Legal. This role sits at the intersection of program strategy and technical execution, supporting Meta's global litigation, regulatory, and information governance matters as well as the data science and AI initiatives that power them.
The ideal candidate combines strong program management discipline with genuine technical fluency. You are comfortable owning a portfolio of concurrent workstreams, zooming in and out between day to day case work and long range roadmap planning, and connecting the dots across teams to drive efficiency, alignment, and results. You can write and run your own SQL queries, reason about tooling and development lifecycles, and translate between technical practitioners and legal or business stakeholders. You bring intellectual curiosity, a bias toward building durable processes rather than one off fixes, and the ability to operate independently in a fast paced, high stakes environment while partnering proactively with legal, product, data science, and operations teams across client.

Professional services or client consulting background
Experience with GSD, or comparable project management systems
