About You

You’re an experienced program leader who can bring people together around a clear plan, even when the work is complex and the path isn’t always straightforward. You know how to balance strategy with action, and you’re comfortable working with senior stakeholders while staying close to delivery teams.

You’ll thrive here if you enjoy creating order, building trust and helping others succeed. You communicate clearly, make decisions easier for the people around you and know how to keep programs moving without losing sight of the bigger picture.

You’re also someone who leads with a team-first mindset. You value different perspectives, build strong working relationships and help create an environment where people feel supported, accountable and able to contribute their best.

• Experience managing complex, multi-stream programs across areas such as digital, customer platforms, ERP, SaaS, POS, merchandise, supply chain or operations

• Strong experience working with executive stakeholders and steering committees

• A track record of setting up programs from the early stages, including strategy, roadmap, governance and delivery approach

• Strong skills in benefits tracking, risk management, dependency planning, financial management and program assurance

• Experience working with vendors and commercial partners to deliver value

• Confident use of tools such as Jira or ADO, Confluence, Miro and PPM platforms

• A degree in Business, IT or a related field
