We are hiring two Senior Programme Managers to lead delivery on Azure modern data platform programmes for a pan-African telecom and fintech group. These are senior, hands-on governance roles — not PMO support functions. You will own scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, stakeholders and cross-team coordination from programme inception through to go-live.
What You Will Own
- End-to-end programme delivery on Azure modern data platform initiatives (Databricks, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Lake Gen2, Microsoft Fabric)
- Programme governance design and operation — RAID logs, dependency mapping, steering committee reporting, milestone tracking and risk escalation
- Cross-team coordination across multiple concurrent workstreams, resolving dependency conflicts before they become blockers
- Stakeholder management up to C-level and VP-level sponsors, including steering committee facilitation
- Vendor governance — contract oversight, SLA enforcement, performance management and formal escalation where required
- Scope management — formal change control, de-scope decisions with impact analysis, Phase 2 planning
- Programme reporting — executive dashboards, RAG status, milestone forecasting and board-level communication
What We Are Looking For
- Demonstrable senior delivery experience on Azure modern data platform programmes in production environments
- Proven track record leading programme governance — not just running Agile ceremonies
- Experience managing cross-team dependencies across three or more concurrent workstreams
- Hands-on with Jira Advanced Roadmaps or equivalent enterprise programme tooling
- Strong stakeholder management experience at C-suite and VP level
- Telecom, fintech or large enterprise background preferred
- Egypt-based (Cairo preferred)
Preferred Certifications
- PMP, PRINCE2 or equivalent programme delivery certification
- SAFe, PMI-ACP or relevant Agile at scale certification
(Certifications are preferred — not a hard requirement)
