  • Support commercial success by controlling scope creep and inefficiency

Leadership & Ways of Working  

This role leads through clarity, urgency, and execution excellence. You create delivery rhythm, set clear expectations, and ensure nothing drifts. You are hands‑on when needed and strategic when required — always focused on outcomes.

Skills & Experience Required

  • 8–12+ years leading delivery of complex technology or data programmes
  • Proven ability to deliver multi‑team projects to deadline
  • Strong risk, dependency and issue management skills
  • Experience working above Project Managers in programme environments
