Technical Program Manager - Infrastructure

Are you looking for a new challenge?

Fancy helping us shape the future of motor insurance?

Prima could be the place for you. 

Since 2015, we’ve been using our love of data and tech to rethink motor insurance and bring drivers a great experience at a great price. Our story began in Italy, where we’ve quickly become the number one online motor insurance provider. In fact, we’re trusted by over 5 million drivers. And now we’re expanding to help millions more drivers in the UK and Spain.

To help fuel that growth, we need a Technical Program Manager - Infrastructure to join our Engineering Department.   The Engineering Department is the beating heart of Prima. You’ll be joining over 350 engineers across software development, infrastructure, operations and security: fueled by curiosity, experimentation and collaboration, you’ll help deliver scalable, impactful solutions that shape the future of insurance.   Excited to make an impact? Here are the details

What You'll Do

• Lead end-to-end infrastructure programs (planning, execution, tracking, and reporting), helping engineering teams break down large initiatives  into manageable deliverables, milestones, and measurable outcomes.

• Proactively manage cross-team dependencies, risks, blockers, and escalation paths, maintaining clear visibility into program health, ownership, and resource constraints while driving timely decisions 

• Align Infrastructure, Security, Product, Operations, and Engineering teams while facilitating planning sessions and operational reviews that improve delivery, strengthen cross-functional collaboration, and create alignment around shared goals.

• Use delivery metrics and tooling data (e.g. Jira, YouTrack, adoption metrics, operational KPIs) to identify bottlenecks, improve engineering workflows, and measure the impact of platform initiatives. 

• Own engagement with third-party infrastructure vendors, managing contract renewals, budgeting/forecasting, and coordinating compliance reviews (e.g., DORA, GDPR, security assessments).

• Facilitate planning sessions, technical workshops, operational reviews, and on-site collaboration to improve alignment, decision making, knowledge sharing, and execution across engineering teams.

• Bring clarity to complex infrastructure initiatives by defining ownership, success criteria, priorities, and execution plans. Help teams navigate ambiguity, remove delivery friction, and maintain momentum across multiple stakeholders.

Proven Experience in Technical Program Management, Infrastructure Program Management, or Technical Project Management roles.

Strong understanding of infrastructure and platform engineering environments, with the ability to work effectively alongside engineers, engineering managers, product managers, security teams, and technical leadership.

Solid understanding of agile delivery methodologies, engineering execution practices, and managing complex cross-functional technical programs.
