Great journeys start with Trainline đźš„
We’re Europe’s leading independent rail platform, helping millions of travellers find and book the best-value rail and coach journeys across our app, website and partner channels.
Our job is to make the green travel choice the best choice. By building a better train travel experience, we help more people choose rail - creating a positive impact for customers, our business and the planet.
We’re a team of more than 1,000 Trainliners from over 50 nationalities, working across London, Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Edinburgh and Madrid. Now is a brilliant time to join us and help shape the future of travel.
Introducing the Trainline Core Tech Team đź‘‹
Trainline is on a mission to make rail and coach travel simpler and more accessible for millions of people. Behind every seamless customer experience sits Core Tech - the teams that keep our engineers productive, our platforms secure, and our operations running at pace. We're now looking for a Technical Programme Manager to coordinate delivery across our cross-departmental Core Tech programme, coordinating delivery across Workplace IT, Cyber Security, Production Operations, and Developer Experience.
This is a hands-on role for someone who leads through people, not process. You'll help maintain the plan, track dependencies, and keep the rhythm that keep multiple technical teams moving in the same direction - earning influence by getting into the detail with engineers and stakeholders, building trust, and unblocking work directly rather than through status reports alone. If you're energised by ambiguity, at home in fast-moving agile environments, and genuinely enjoy connecting people to get things done, we'd love to hear from you.
In this role as the Technical Programme Manager, you will... đźš„
Work as the primary program lead for cyber security and coordinate delivery of the Core Tech cross-departmental programme, including the roadmap, milestones, cross-team dependencies, risks, and the reporting that gives leadership a clear and honest view of progress
Act as the connective tissue between Workplace IT, Cyber Security, Production Operations, and Developer Experience - running cadences and supporting artefacts, and working relationships that bring separate backlogs into a coordinated programme
Plan and coordinate complex, cross-functional technical programmes, translating strategy into clear milestones, owners, and timelines
Run the operating rhythm - stand-ups, planning sessions, reviews, and retrospectives - keeping agile teams focused and moving
Get into the technical detail with teams to understand trade-offs, pressure-test plans, and support informed decisions. Build strong, trust-based relationships across engineering, security, operations, and leadership, using those connections to unblock work quickly and escalate early where needed
Communicate clearly and consistently, surfacing status, risks, and decisions to both engineers and senior stakeholders and tailoring the message to the audience
Contribute to continuous improvement in how Core Tech teams plan and deliver, maintaining lightweight programme artefacts - roadmaps, RAID logs, and dependency maps - that teams genuinely find useful
We'd love to hear from you if you have... 🔍
