SUPPORT OUR GROWTH PLANS AS OUR NEXT SENIOR DELIVERY MANAGER

Join us as a Senior Delivery Manager on a contract basis, taking ownership of the delivery engine behind our transformation portfolio. As a senior member of the Business Transformation Office (BTO), you’ll turn prioritised transformation initiatives into delivered, adopted, and measurable business outcomes.

Working across executive sponsors, business functions, technology, data teams, project and change professionals, and external partners, you’ll bring structure, momentum, and accountability to complex programmes—managing dependencies, risks, decisions, resources, budgets, and competing priorities from mobilisation through operational handover and benefits realisation.

YOUR HELP AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR JOURNEY

• Mobilise and lead complex, cross-functional transformation programmes from approved business case through implementation, adoption, and benefits realisation.

• Create integrated roadmaps, delivery plans, milestones, critical paths, and resource assumptions across concurrent initiatives.

• Maintain delivery momentum by resolving blockers, sequencing dependencies, and driving timely decisions.

• Balance scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk, and outcomes, making trade-offs transparent to sponsors.

• Establish proportionate programme governance, delivery cadences, decision forums, and escalation paths.

• Own RAID, dependency, decision, and change-control disciplines, ensuring clear ownership and follow-through.

• Provide concise, credible, and decision-oriented executive reporting, forecasts, and recovery plans.

• Identify systemic risks and capacity constraints early and recommend practical mitigation strategies.

• Coordinate initiative leaders, business owners, GTD, data teams, project managers, change leads, vendors, and implementation partners.

• Clarify ownership and interfaces across business, platform, integration, security, data, and operational teams.

• Lead supplier delivery reviews, milestone acceptance, and commercial discussions with Procurement and Finance.

• Build an environment of accountability, constructive challenge, and transparent collaboration.

• Apply Agile, Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid delivery methodologies according to programme complexity and risk.

• Maintain reliable plans, backlogs, and portfolio information using Jira, Confluence, and relevant reporting tools.

• Use flow, predictability, quality, readiness, and outcome metrics to continuously improve delivery performance.

• Integrate change impact, communications, training, adoption, and operational readiness into delivery plans.

• Ensure release, migration, cutover, support, and operational handover criteria are clearly defined and accepted.

• Track adoption and benefits with sponsors and intervene when expected outcomes are at risk.

• Own programme budgets, forecasts, resource plans, and vendor commitments within approved tolerances.

• Align BTO capacity with project, change, and specialist resources.

• Protect investment value through disciplined scope management, acceptance, and benefits governance.

• Provide transparent financial and capacity insights to support portfolio-level decisions.

• Act as the senior delivery escalation point for complex, cross-functional, or at-risk initiatives.

• Represent BTO in steering committees, portfolio reviews, and partner governance forums.

• Bring calm, evidence-based leadership to challenging situations while maintaining appropriate confidentiality and control.
