Project​/Programme Manager

Carbon3 develops, owns and operates AI infrastructure across the UK, powered by renewable energy. Converting legacy industrial and energy sites into modern data‑centre facilities, Carbon3 is combining brownfield regeneration opportunities with cleaner, efficient, scalable compute capacity for healthcare, research, finance, enterprise, and public‑sector organisations.

We need an experienced Project/Programme Manager to drive execution across our core business functions: data centre development, infrastructure deployment, software development, marketing, community engagement, and internal capability building. The role is delivery focused and hands on. You will bring structure, momentum, and clarity to complex work streams, ensuring projects move forward efficiently, risks are surfaced early, and stakeholders stay aligned. This is an opportunity to play a central role in a mission‑led AI business that is redefining infrastructure, intelligence, and impact for enterprise customers and communities.

Reports to Chief Operating Officer. Works closely with service delivery, engineering, sales, marketing, finance, and executive leadership teams.

• Coordinate multi‑site GPU infrastructure deployments with technical teams, data centres, and vendors.
• Establish delivery frameworks for software development and manage release cycles.
• Drive marketing campaigns, customer pilots, and community engagement initiatives.
• Lead internal capability programmes (training, tooling, process improvement).
• Manage vendor relationships and contract deliverables.
• Establish programme governance and reporting that enables rather than constrains.

• Expertise in programme/project management (or equivalent in a high‑growth environment), ideally in technology or infrastructure companies.
• Proven track record delivering complex, multi‑stakeholder programmes on time and budget.
• Experience managing technical infrastructure or software development projects.
• Strong command of PM methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid) and tools (Jira, Asana, etc.).
• Comfortable in highly technical environments – you translate between engineers and business stakeholders.
• Exceptional ability to influence without authority and manage senior stakeholders.
• Bias toward action over analysis paralysis.
• Data‑driven approach with strong risk management capabilities.

• AI/ML infrastructure, GPU computing, or neocloud providers (Core Weave, Lambda Labs, etc.).
• High availability, high security and sovereign cloud or regulated sector requirements.
• High‑growth technology company experience.
• UK public sector procurement understanding.

• Execution over perfection – you ship and iterate rather than wait for perfect plans.
• Adaptability – energised by changing priorities in a scaling business.
• Pragmatic process design – just enough structure to enable delivery. Why Join Carbon
