Responsibilities
- Own and drive the end-to-end programme plan across the Member Engagement pillar, developing planning frameworks, governance structures, and operating rhythms.
- Translate strategy into structured, executable plans across CRM, data, personalisation, loyalty, and go-to-market teams.
- Partner with the Technical Programme Lead on integrated planning and dependency management.
- Coordinate proactively across working groups and functions, resolving blockers and fostering a collective delivery mindset.
- Anticipate risks and delivery gaps, developing robust mitigation approaches.
- Establish and maintain a strong operating cadence, including planning cycles, progress tracking, and reporting.
- Partner with senior leaders to stress-test and refine strategic priorities.
- Build a measurement framework that connects programme outputs to member outcomes.
- Develop and apply AI-enabled approaches to programme management, structuring plans, automating reporting and tracking, and identifying opportunities to reduce coordination overhead.
Requirements
- Significant experience leading cross-functional programmes end-to-end in product-led, digital environments.
- Track record of turning ambiguous strategy into clear, structured delivery frameworks with measurable outcomes.
- Background of building decision-making frameworks, governance structures, and operating cadences from scratch.
- Solid experience working alongside CRM, product, and data teams in an Agile environment.
- Practical understanding of how digital delivery works at sprint level.
- Experience partnering with technical leads on integrated planning.
- Confidence managing cross-functional dependencies across business and engineering delivery.
