Role Purpose

DXC Technology is seeking an experienced Senior Program Manager / Project Director to lead the successful delivery of large, complex airport technology and transformation programs. The role owns the program from mobilisation through delivery and into operations, taking end-to-end responsibility for scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk, commercial performance and client satisfaction.

Operating at the interface between the client's executive team and the delivery organisation, the Senior Program Manager / Project Director sets the program vision and governance, leads multi-disciplinary and multi-vendor teams, and ensures that integrated solutions are delivered safely and reliably into a 24/7 operational airport environment. The role is as much about leadership, stakeholder confidence and commercial stewardship as it is about delivery discipline.
