You will act as a trusted delivery leader across multiple technology streams, ensuring clear visibility of progress, risks, dependencies and priorities while helping teams continuously improve how they deliver.

What You'll Be Doing
- Lead delivery across multiple enterprise technology programmes, platforms and transformation initiatives.
- Act as the central point of accountability for delivery health, governance, reporting, risks and dependencies.
- Establish and embed consistent delivery standards and best practices across teams.
- Provide clear executive-level visibility of portfolio progress, issues, risks and delivery outcomes.
- Coach and mentor delivery professionals, engineers and cross-functional teams to improve delivery maturity.
- Partner with cloud, platform and engineering teams to remove blockers and optimise delivery performance.
- Support the adoption of AI-assisted and emerging engineering practices within a controlled and governed framework.
The successful candidate will bring:
- Significant experience leading delivery across multiple technology teams, programmes or portfolios.
- A proven track record of improving delivery practices, ways of working and organisational delivery maturity.
- Strong experience establishing governance, reporting frameworks, RAID management and executive stakeholder reporting.
- The ability to quickly take ownership of complex programmes and create momentum.
- Experience managing large-scale technology, cloud, infrastructure or platform initiatives.
- Strong understanding of Agile, Lean and modern software delivery practices.
- Experience working with highly technical engineering teams and senior technology leaders.
- Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills across business and technology functions.
- Experience operating within Financial Services or other highly regulated environments.
- A coaching-led leadership style with the ability to drive change through influence rather than authority alone.
- Enterprise cloud transformation programmes.
- AI, Agentic AI or AI-assisted software delivery environments.
- Engineering enablement, DevOps or platform engineering initiatives.
- Portfolio planning, budgeting and investment governance.
- AWS, Azure or enterprise cloud environments.
- Delivery leadership within large-scale enterprise technology organisations.
