About The Position

AVEVA’s Chief Technologist Organization is hiring an experienced technical program manager to help us track and coordinate our work investigating and incubating emerging technologies. Reporting to the VP, Strategic Programs & Operations, you'll work closely with technical leaders across the organization to develop and define program plans for our technical initiatives, making sure they align to our broader strategy and priorities, have well-defined objectives that further our technical understanding in key areas, and include concrete milestones and deliverables. You'll develop and implement tracking and reporting processes so leadership always has a clear, up-to-date view of progress. This role offers an exciting opportunity to shape how our growing organization structures its programming in a way that allows us to deliver innovative and advanced industrial technology. The ideal candidate has a deep technical grounding that allows them to quickly develop understanding of emerging technical areas (e.g. AI, IoT, XR/VR, etc), strong multi-level communication and organization skills, and the ability to synthesize technical details into coherent programs.

Requirements

12+ years of experience in technical program management, including 5+ years working closely with complex emerging-technology initiatives
Strong enough technical background to understand and translate what technical leaders are building, even without leading that work directly
Skilled at turning informal or in-progress technical work into clear, structured program plans
Experience helping teams align their work to broader organizational strategy and priorities
Experience working in regulated industries like industrial, IoT, life sciences, manufacturing, energy, or similar
Strong communication skills — able to build trust with technical leaders, translate technical work for non-technical audiences, and clearly report status and risks
Master's degree in Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, or a related field; PhD preferred
Project Management Professional (PMP) certification preferred.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with responsible deployment, risk management, and technology governance practices
Curious, detail-oriented mindset — comfortable digging into technical work you're not personally building
Comfortable working iteratively and adjusting plans as technical work evolves
