About the Role

The role will establish the programme structure, roadmap, integrated plan and governance arrangements and provide clear oversight of outcomes, dependencies, risks, resources, costs and decisions.

Manage programme-level scope and milestones, dependencies and critical paths, resources and capacity, costs and forecasts, risks, assumptions, issues and decisions, and actions and governance requirements.
Coordinate opportunity assessment, prioritisation and mobilisation.
Integrate requirements, solution delivery, controls, testing and operational readiness into the programme plan.
Coordinate pilot design, implementation, adoption and value-measurement activities.
Monitor progress against agreed outcomes, milestones and delivery gates.

Prepare executive updates, governance materials and decision papers.
Facilitate programme, steering and decision-making forums.
Manage scope changes and assess their impact on outcomes, schedule, cost, resources and risk.
Maintain clear records of programme decisions, approvals, actions and delivery evidence.
Coordinate implementation, hand-offs and transition into sustainable ownership.
Support benefit tracking, post-implementation reviews and lessons learned.
Use approved digital and AI-enabled tools to improve programme planning, analysis and reporting while retaining appropriate human accountability.
Leads a complex programme comprising multiple projects or interconnected workstreams.
Defines and maintains the programme-management approach, integrated plan and governance structure.
Operates with a high degree of autonomy within agreed strategic objectives.
Coordinates stakeholders across business, product, technology, operations and control functions.
Accountable for consolidated programme visibility, including outcomes, progress, dependencies, risks, resources and decisions.
Develops options and recommendations where material delivery trade-offs exist.
Ensures programme-level risks, dependencies and decisions are identified, owned and escalated appropriately.
Coordinates project and workstream leads without necessarily holding formal line-management responsibility.
Supports sponsors and governance forums in making timely, evidence-based decisions.
Does not ordinarily own the underlying business, product or technology functions.
Has no formal people-management responsibility unless separately assigned.
