The posting

We’re on the hunt for a Senior Programme Manager. Are you someone who can take complex business ideas from concept through to implementation? Do you enjoy solving business challenges, identifying commercial opportunities and bringing people together to deliver measurable results? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

As Senior Programme Manager, you will take ownership of multiple large-scale business initiatives that drive growth, improve customer value and strengthen our competitive position. You will be responsible for shaping these initiatives, developing business cases, defining success measures and driving implementation through to measurable business outcomes.

Working across Product, Technology, Digital, Marketing, Operations and Finance, you will bring together different teams and stakeholders to turn business opportunities into practical solutions. You will also work with external partners to develop strategic partnerships, manage integrations and drive fulfilment initiatives that create value for the business and our customers.

Your projects could include leading customer benefit programmes, developing new commercial partnerships, improving our app and website, or driving broader business transformation initiatives. You will need to understand how commercial objectives and technology work together, identifying opportunities to use digital platforms, automation and AI to improve scalability, efficiency and the overall customer experience.

This is a hands-on strategic leadership role. You will need to be comfortable leading through influence, bringing together people with different areas of expertise and taking accountability for driving initiatives forward, even when you don't have direct authority over every team involved.

To thrive in this role, you'll need:

  • A Bachelor's degree in Business, Commerce, Strategy, Engineering, Information Systems, Technology, Finance or a related field.
  • 8+ years' experience leading strategic business initiatives, transformation programmes or complex commercial projects.
  • Proven experience owning multiple large-scale initiatives, from identifying opportunities and developing business cases through to implementation.
  • Experience developing business cases, evaluating commercial opportunities and translating business objectives into practical implementation plans.
  • Strong commercial and technology understanding, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and deliver measurable business outcomes.
  • The ability to bring together cross-functional teams, build strong working relationships and drive results through others.

We're looking for someone who can see the bigger picture while remaining close enough to the detail to make things happen. You'll be comfortable navigating complexity, challenging existing thinking, identifying opportunities and taking ownership of turning ideas into real business results.

We'd love to hear from you!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
