Technical Project Manager

Take a next-gen product programme from first kickoff through to the tooling release milestone, and own every cross-functional call in between. It's a fast, lean build at a long-established global consumer appliance brand, with monthly prototype rounds and visibility right up to weekly CEO reviews. The business is a global consumer products company with household brands sold in millions of homes, now pushing hard into its next generation of home environment products. The London team runs lean and fast, building and iterating prototypes every month, and works hand in hand with engineering and manufacturing partners in China and across Asia. Progress on the programme is reviewed at the top every week. The role You'll take the programme end to end, from the kickoff materials and the first prototype build through to the tooling release milestone, and quite possibly beyond it. You'll run the schedule across Asia, UK and US time zones, with daily contact with the China team and global technical reviews each afternoon. You'll keep ID, marketing, sales, supply chain and engineering aligned, own the status reports, risk registers and executive decks, and build the trackers and tools the programme needs where none exist yet. It suits a project manager who wants a whole programme to call their own, not a slice of one, and who moves fast when the full picture isn't in yet. If you build order out of ambiguity, this is the seat for it. What you'll need
