Technology Programme Manager
FIRST Exploration & Petroleum Development Company
The Technology Program Manager is responsible for driving the successful delivery of the organization’s technology programmes and projects, ensuring strategic alignment, effective governance, and measurable value realization across the enterprise. Reporting directly to the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), the role provides centralized oversight of the technology project portfolio and acts as the single point of accountability for programme health, delivery performance, and executive reporting.
Operating within a lean technology organization, the Technology Program Manager does not directly line‑manage project managers but works closely with project leads from vendors, business units, and technology teams. The role partners with Technology Operations, Digital & Technology Innovation, and Cybersecurity leadership to ensure initiatives are delivered in a controlled, transparent, and business‑focused manner.

- Support delivery teams in applying practical agile principles within enterprise governance constraints.
- Promote continuous improvement in delivery capability and outcomes.
Collaboration & Assurance
- Work closely with Technology Operations, Digital & Technology Innovation, and Cybersecurity leads to ensure coordinated planning and execution.
- Ensure cybersecurity, risk, and operational requirements are embedded into programme delivery from initiation through closure.
