We are a VC-backed startup focused on hyper-personalisation, currently in stealth. Inspired by the latest in recommender systems, we leverage transformers and graph learning alongside decision‑making models to build the most engaging customer experiences for in‑store retail.
We are taking an almighty swing of the bat; it is difficult, full of risk, and exactly why we are here.
We are looking for a Technical Project Associate to support the end‑to‑end delivery of complex, cross‑functional technology programmes. This is an individual contributor role sitting at the heart of our engineering and product organisation, working in close partnership with our CTO and Product Heads.
You will drive clarity through ambiguity, managing risk proactively, and ensuring that engineering teams are unblocked, aligned, and moving at pace. You will support initiatives and projects end‑to‑end: from shaping project scope and governance structures through to stakeholder reporting and retrospective improvement.
We need someone who can challenge technical decisions, elevate the right things at the right time, and bring rigour to how we build.
Technical Programme Delivery: You will support project delivery across our complex, multi‑stream technical programmes, from initiation through to production. That means maintaining RAID logs, keeping roadmaps honest, running tight ceremonies, and escalating risk before it becomes a problem.
Stakeholder & Cross‑Functional Management: You will help communication between engineering, product, data science, and commercial teams. You produce the reporting that leadership relies on, facilitate trade‑off decisions, and keep everyone aligned when priorities compete.
Delivery Operations & Tooling: You will own the tools and processes that keep us moving. You identify bottlenecks and optimise processes.
Vendor & Technology Partner Management: You will support our key technology and compliance partnerships, keeping commitments on track and ensuring both sides deliver.
1 – 2 years of technical project or programme management experience, ideally within a high‑growth tech or AI product company.
Working knowledge of agile and hybrid delivery methodologies.
Strong technical fluency.
Excellent written and verbal communication. You can translate technical complexity into executive‑level clarity.
Demonstrable experience managing cross‑functional dependencies across engineering, product, data, and commercial teams.
Hands‑on with delivery tooling: Jira, Notion, Linear, or similar.
Competitive salary and meaningful equity. Everyone who joins us has a stake in what we are building.
Real ownership from day one. This role carries genuine accountability for delivery outcomes that matter.
A team that moves fast and takes the craft of building seriously. No bureaucracy, no busywork.
If you’re excited by the idea of shaping the future of retail and eager to make a real impact from day one, we’d love to hear from you.
