Full time Information Technology Telecommunications

Job Description

Sitehop is a technology startup building a faster, better, greener alternative to the encryption options on the market today. Unlike software, our product delivers super-fast encryption and is easily deployed onto network hardware. Sitehop is disrupting the cybersecurity and networking market by developing hardware products and solutions that deliver ultra-high speed, low latency, cryptography solutions for Cloud Infrastructure, 5G Telecom, and Industry 4.0 solutions.

We seek talented and driven individuals to be an impactful part of our journey. This is an opportunity for entrepreneurial innovators who are comfortable working in a dynamic environment on game-changing technology.

About the Role

We're looking for a Technical Project Manager who thrives in complex environments where hardware, software, security, and real-world deployment collide. You'll own the planning, coordination, and delivery of technical initiatives across engineering, product, operations, and external partners. We are a growing company operating at the intersection of hardware, software, and security. This means priorities can evolve quickly, and this role requires someone who can adapt plans pragmatically as the business learns and scales.

This is not a passive Gantt-chart role. You'll be hands-on, curious, and comfortable translating between engineers, product leaders, and non-technical stakeholders while keeping delivery on track. You will need to be comfortable working in a fast-paced/startup environment

Key Responsibilities

Project & Delivery Management

Own end-to-end delivery of technical projects across software, hardware, and infrastructure

Build and maintain delivery plans, milestones, dependencies, and risk registers

Proactively identify blockers, risks, and trade-offs, escalating with clarity and solutions

Ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned to business priorities

Technical Coordination

Act as the connective tissue between engineering, product, operations, and commercial teams

Translate technical complexity into clear updates for non-technical stakeholders

Work closely with engineers to understand system architecture, constraints, and dependencies

Coordinate with third-party vendors, manufacturers, and integration partners where required

Process & Ways of Working

Improve delivery processes without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy

Support agile practices (Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid) appropriate to a hardware-software environment

Drive continuous improvement in planning accuracy, estimation, and execution

Help scale delivery discipline as the company grows

Manage internal and external expectations with confidence and transparency

Support customer-facing or deployment-related projects where timelines and trust are critical

Ensure security, compliance, and operational considerations are factored into delivery plans

Scaling & Startup Delivery

Operate effectively in an environment where process is evolving and not everything is fully defined

Help shape delivery practices rather than simply follow established ones

Balance short-term execution with longer-term structural improvements

Support leadership by providing clarity and options when trade-offs are required

Keep momentum during periods of rapid change, growth, or constraint

What We're Looking For

Proven experience as a Technical Project Manager, Delivery Manager, or similar role

Strong technical literacy with software systems (APIs, cloud platforms, integrations)

Experience working with engineering teams in a product-led environment

Confidence managing ambiguity, competing priorities, and fast-changing requirements

Excellent communication skills, written and verbal.

Highly Desirable

Experience working with hardware-enabled products, IoT, or physical security systems

Exposure to security-conscious environments (critical infrastructure, fintech, govtech, etc.)

Experience in a startup or scale-up, especially pre- or post-Series A

Familiarity with deployments across multiple regions (UK, US, EMEA, APAC)

Understanding of compliance, risk, or regulated environments.

How You Work

You're calm under pressure and structured without being rigid

You ask the uncomfortable questions early rather than firefight later

You balance speed with quality and understand when "good enough" is the right call.

At Sitehop, we're building cutting-edge hardware to protect the world's most critical networks. We move fast, we think bold, and we give our people the autonomy to do their best work.Join us and be part of a team where your contribution isn't just noticed - it's essential.
