This is a senior delivery role requiring someone who can take ownership of major programmes involving technology, operational change, third-party suppliers and multiple stakeholder groups.

  • Manage programme budgets, forecasts, risks, dependencies and delivery milestones
  • Build effective relationships with senior business and technology stakeholders
  • Coordinate internal teams and third-party delivery partners
  • Identify and resolve delivery issues before they affect key outcomes
  • Stabilise challenging programmes and provide clear direction where required
  • Support business cases, delivery strategies and commercial planning
  • Deliver effectively across Agile, waterfall and hybrid environments

Essential experience:

  • Extensive experience delivering large and complex technology programmes
  • A strong background within financial services or another regulated environment
  • Experience leading sizeable multidisciplinary delivery teams
  • Delivery across application, infrastructure, data or digital-transformation workstreams
  • Strong programme governance, financial management and forecasting experience
  • Proven management of third-party suppliers and delivery partners
  • Experience managing senior customer and executive stakeholders
  • Strong risk, dependency and programme-control capabilities
  • Previous experience recovering or stabilising challenging programmes
  • Excellent leadership, communication and decision-making skills

Candidates must be able to work onsite in Glasgow two days per week and be eligible to complete the required pre-employment screening.

Please apply with an up-to-date CV clearly demonstrating the scale and complexity of the programmes you have delivered.
