• Managing resource and capacity planning
• Overseeing budgets and working closely with finance stakeholders
• Coordinating third-party suppliers, including procurement, onboarding and delivery
• Building strong relationships across senior stakeholders, product, engineering and architecture teams
• Driving continuous improvement across delivery practices, frameworks and tooling

What we're looking for

• 7+ years' experience in Technical Delivery, Project Management, Programme Delivery or a related role
• A strong track record of delivering complex technology and transformation programmes
• Experience working across Agile, Waterfall and hybrid delivery environments
• Strong governance, planning and delivery assurance capabilities
• Experience managing budgets, resources, risks, dependencies and third-party partners
• Excellent stakeholder management skills across both technical and business audiences
• Experience leading and coordinating cross-functional teams
