Technology Programme Manager

Set to be the No.1 destination for live music in the South West and the fourth largest arena in the UK, YTL Arena will be a brand-new and advanced 365-entertainment complex with interlinking facilities hosting the best in live music, sport, and other events. Right now, we’re setting the stage for an epic launch and getting the band together that will bring to life our incredible vision and ambition to put Bristol on the world stage for live music and entertainment.

We’re building a smart, future-flexible venue to host these amazing events. That means evolution and of course, harnessing the power of cutting-edge technology to deliver world-class experiences for 1.4m visitors, fans, artists, staff and partners every year.

Joining us before the doors open, as our Technology Programme Manager, you’ll direct, manage, influence and implement the full range of tech services we need to operate this world-class entertainment venue.

What you’ll do

For you, this is an opportunity to be responsible for implementation of innovative technology of substantial worth. From facilities to customer relationship management and everything in between, your recommendations will take centre stage, influencing the technology choices we make moving forwards.

Your expertise lies in delivering comprehensive technology solutions for large venues – experience in sports and entertainment would be just the ticket. You’re experienced at managing multiple different suppliers and you’re a real motivator – the specialists around you thrive off your energy and passion for successful delivery.

You resolve issues with ease, collaborate effortlessly and are serious about finding credible solutions to challenges that come your way. You’re also adept at translating complex IT concepts or issues into business language. We don’t even need to ask. You’ve got that covered.

What you’ll need

It goes without saying that you are an experienced technologist. You have a project management accreditation, such as MSP, PRINCE2, DSDM, and what you don’t know about technology procurement, design, build, integrate and test standards, isn’t worth knowing.

Ours is a dynamic, high-energy environment. Help shape success on-stage and across the South West by turning our technology vision into action.
