Strategy & Programs Manager

Through focused feedback cycles and retrospectives, every quarter surfaces new programs. Recent examples include:

Company-wide strategic planning — owning the annual strategy refresh, aligning priorities across the executive team, and translating strategy into OKRs and quarterly plans.

Regional expansion — working with commercial leaders to assess new markets, build the business case, and design the action plan for entry.

Supercharging productivity with AI — rolling out AI tooling to automate document prep, meeting summaries, and reporting, saving teams hours each week and enabling scale without proportional headcount growth.

Shaping our story — preparing board and investor reports that weave performance data with a compelling growth narrative, ensuring our progress and vision land with maximum impact.

Some of our highest-impact programs touch the most sensitive and consequential decisions a scaling company makes — work that demands discretion, and where trust is earned, not assumed.

Prior experience in deep-tech, AI-enabled engineering, simulation, or scientific R&D environments.

Experience designing change management or strategy communication frameworks.

The team: You’ll be surrounded by incredible talent, working on some of the world’s hardest problems.

High impact: Your work will have a measurable impact on our ability to scale and achieve our ambitious goals.

Accelerated growth: This role gives you rare cross-functional exposure across every part of a scaling AI company — it’s one of the fastest ways to learn how an organisation is built from the inside.

Diverse problems: Your day-to-day will change every quarter, with new challenges and new opportunities for growth.

The culture: A culture that thrives on solving hard problems and innovating at speed.

Competitive package: Industry-benchmarked salary + equity, private healthcare, and a dedicated budget for training, conferences, and coaching.

If you thrive in environments that value both speed and precision — and you’re the kind of person who turns strategic clarity into executed results — we’d love to meet you. Come help us scale gracefully.

Build what actually matters

Help shape an AI-native engineering company at a formative stage, tackling problems that genuinely matter for industry and society. This is work with real-world impact - and something you can be proud to stand behind.

Learn alongside exceptional people

Work with a high-caliber, collaborative team of engineers, scientists, and operators who care deeply about doing great work, and about helping each other get better. We come from diverse backgrounds, but we share a commitment to operating at the highest level and addressing some of the most complex challenges out there. If you’re ambitious, thoughtful, and driven by impact, you’ll feel at home.

Influence over hierarchy

We operate with a flat structure: good ideas win - wherever they come from. Questioning assumptions and challenging the status quo isn’t just welcomed, it’s expected.

Sustainable pace, long-term ambition

Building meaningful technology is a marathon, not a sprint. We believe in balancing focused, ambitious work with a life beyond it. Our hybrid model blends time together in our Shoreditch office with work-from-home days, giving you the flexibility to work sustainably while staying connected in person.
