About this role

Ready to shape the future of data?

Matillion is the intelligent data integration platform.

We're changing how the world works with data – and we need driven, curious people who think big and move fast.

We built the Data Productivity Cloud to supercharge data productivity, and now we’re shaping the future of data engineering with Maia – our AI-powered virtual data engineers that help teams design, build, and manage data pipelines at unmatched speed.

Join #TeamGreen, where the mission comes first, collaboration drives us forward, and everyone pulls in the same direction to make a dent in the universe bigger than ourselves.

About the role

We're Matillion; and we're building the first AI Data Automation platform, Maia. Our Field Engineering team is the nexus where our technology meets our customers, and it's one of the fastest-growing parts of the business. As Senior Programme Manager, you'll sit at the heart of that, coordinating, driving and owning the major programmes that keep our customer-facing engine running. This isn't traditional programme management. You won't be living in Jira raising tickets. You'll be building automation, designing frameworks, running global initiatives and using modern AI tooling to make things happen faster and smarter.

You'll work closely with Product, Engineering and Executive Leadership to drive accountability across some of our most critical programmes. If you come from a B2B SaaS background, understand what GTM execution looks like and know how to build things that last, we want to talk.

Matillion operates on a hybrid basis, with us coming together 2 days a week in our Manchester office to collaborate and drive our mission forward.

What you will be doing

Leading the end-to-end delivery of multiple cross-functional Field Engineering initiatives - engaging stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Marketing, Legal, Customer Success and IT to drive alignment and accountability from kickoff to completion

Building comprehensive project blueprints that define business objectives, scope, delivery strategies, resource allocation and communication plans

Coordinating across teams to plan, align and track development, release, go-to-market and enablement activities, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks and every workstream knows what's expected and when

Proactively identifying, assessing and managing risks, dependencies, issues and impediments, maintaining robust change management and quality control processes that keep projects healthy and stakeholders informed

Monitoring and reporting on programme performance to senior stakeholders while providing strong leadership to project teams

What we are looking for

Demonstrable experience in programme or project management experience in a B2B SaaS environment; you understand GTM execution, customer lifecycle programmes and what it takes to deliver at scale in a fast-moving tech company

Genuinely technical - you don't need to be a software engineer, but you must be comfortable with modern tooling like n8n, Claude Code or equivalent automation platforms. You build things, you don't just manage them

A proven track record of driving cross-functional alignment - you can influence without authority, hold stakeholders accountable and communicate with clarity across Engineering, Product and Executive audiences

A bias for action and a scrappy, get-it-done mentality; you move fast, iterate, and find a way through ambiguity without waiting for perfect conditions

Strong organisational instincts with meticulous attention to detail. You can manage multiple complex programmes simultaneously, spot what's falling through the cracks and fix it before it becomes a problem
