Program Manager - Digital Twin

Location: London (Hybrid - Minimum 3 days in the office)

Compensation: £80,000 - £100,000

The Opportunity

We are seeking a seasoned Program Manager to lead and manage a comprehensive program focused on developing 3D visualization workflows for a large, new urban city marketing initiative.

This role will oversee multiple project streams—content and program management, digital design guidelines, technology infrastructure (pipeline development, data asset management, and web-based guideline services)—and ensure seamless coordination with the team managing film and CGI production. The ultimate goal is to build a robust Unreal Engine–based digital twin and supporting assets to drive ongoing marketing and media efforts.

Core Accountabilities:

• End-to-End Delivery: Own the delivery of this multi-workstream program, ensuring quality, consistency, and alignment across all components.
• Governance & Workflow: Work with the Production Director in the Middle East to define and maintain overall governance structures, reporting frameworks, and workflows. You will serve as the key conduit between the Regional team and the London/offshore delivery teams.
• Strategic Direction: Shape program direction in line with evolving business objectives, responding to change without compromising delivery outcomes.
• Team Leadership: Lead and support Project Managers and Producers across multiple workstreams.
• Reporting: Ensure accurate and proactive reporting to the Production Director and Journey leadership.

Operational Management

• Resource & Financial Oversight: Own program resource planning, financial oversight, and budget tracking across internal teams and external vendors. Support the Production Director in creating an accurate view of the entire program.
• Scalable Workflows: Ensure delivery teams are operating within robust and scalable workflows, adapting as the program evolves.
• Process Improvement: Champion structured project governance and work with Project Leadership to identify, implement, and improve the tools and processes used to manage work and assets.

Stakeholder Leadership

• Central Contact Point: Act as the primary contact for client leadership, internal stakeholders, and external delivery partners on program streams.
• Visibility & Risk Management: Provide visibility and clarity around risk, progress, scope, and dependencies across key program streams.
• Value Focus: Ensure expectations are well managed and delivery remains focused on long-term value and user impact.

What We’re Looking For

• Program Management Expertise: Demonstrated success in leading large-scale, multi-project programs within the 3D visualization, gaming, VFX, or related technology sectors.
• 3D Production Knowledge: Familiarity with 3D production pipelines, real-time rendering engines (e.g., Unreal Engine), data asset management, and content creation workflows.
• Media & Marketing Background: Understanding of marketing and media production processes (film, CGI, interactive content), ideally within an urban development or architectural context.
• Technical Aptitude: Proven ability to oversee technical teams and ensure alignment between design, technology, and business objectives.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Strong leadership skills to manage diverse teams (designers, technical developers, producers, project managers) and partner with multiple stakeholders.
• Financial & Contract Management: Experience in handling large budgets and complex vendor relationships, including contract negotiations and third-party management.
• Communication & Collaboration: Exceptional communication skills to convey strategic plans, requirements, and technical concepts across varying levels of the organization.

Why This Role?

• Shape the Programme: Work with the Production Director and Delivery leads to shape and manage the overall Programme of an innovative project.
• Digital meets Delivery: Work at the Crossroads of Digital and Delivery – combining product thinking, operational rigor, and stakeholder leadership.
• Influence & Growth: The opportunity to contribute to a growing team, influencing how large-scale projects are managed by the business.
