• Maintain accurate tracking of change portfolios, risks, issues and dependencies, escalating and facilitating resolution through structured governance routes 

• Build effective relationships with internal stakeholders and external suppliers, acting as a key point of contact to drive collaboration, challenge constructively, and support issue resolution

What are we looking for?

• Demonstrable experience operating within change, PMO or transformation environments, with ownership of governance, reporting and delivery tracking 
• Proven experience managing third-party suppliers, including performance monitoring, service reviews, and issue resolution 
• Strong knowledge of risk, controls and change governance frameworks, with experience maintaining risk registers, tracking issues, and ensuring adherence to control processes 
• Track record of engaging and influencing senior stakeholders, including presenting updates, challenging constructively, and driving decisions or alignment 
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent priorities, delivering to tight deadlines within a fast-paced or programme environment 
• Strong analytical capability, with experience producing and interpreting MI/data, identifying trends, and driving actions to improve performance 
• Evidence of collaborating across teams and suppliers to deliver outcomes, with clear examples of end-to-end ownership and delivery

We want to hire the whole version of you.

We are committed to ensuring that everyone feels accepted and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If your experience looks different from what we’ve advertised and you believe that you can bring value to the role, we’d love to hear from you.
