The role of the Snr Programme Manager is to define, plan, supervise and handle the Programme’s deliverables, ensuring that all projects/workstreams within the programme are delivered on time, within scope and within budget.

This role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams, partners, and clients to ensure clear communication and alignment throughout the project lifecycle. The Programme Manager will identify and mitigate risks, track project performance through key metrics, and implement standard methodologies to drive continuous improvement. By encouraging a collaborative environment and maintaining a focus on quality, you will play a crucial role in the successful delivery of the programme.

This is an instrumental role as part of relatively new team. You’ll report into the Central Programme Office Lead.

We're not just rethinking products and services—we're challenging legacy ways of working and driving a culture of "get stuff done." Our mission is to develop new offerings to the evolving needs of our customers.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, love breaking barriers, and are ready to think outside the box, this is the role where you'll learn and grow like never before.
