Delivery Programme Manager - New Bank Build
6 Month Contract Up to £800/day Outside IR35 Hybrid Working (2-3 Days in London)
I'm currently working with a Financial Services client who are looking to hire a hands on Delivery Programme Manager to take ownership of a large-scale greenfield bank build programme.
This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a business building a new UK regulated bank from the ground up, with a strong focus on technology delivery, SaaS platform implementation and getting a complex programme delivered at pace.
The environment is fast-moving, evolving and delivery-focused. They need someone who can come in, structure the work, drive momentum across engineering and delivery teams and take accountability for execution - not just governance and reporting.
The platform itself is SaaS-based, so experience delivering complex software and vendor led implementations within regulated environments will be hugely valuable.
Key areas of focus
- End-to-end ownership of delivery across a greenfield bank build programme
- Driving delivery across multiple technical workstreams
- Managing delivery within a SAFe environment
- PI Planning, sprint execution and day-to-day engineering delivery oversight
- Managing SaaS vendor delivery and third party integrations
- Driving programme structure, prioritisation and delivery accountability
- Managing risks, dependencies and delivery blockers across teams
- Working closely with senior technology leadership and engineering stakeholders
The sort of background likely to fit
- Experience within Financial Services, Banking or regulated environments
- Strong Delivery / Programme Management background within technology environments
- Strong software engineering / technical delivery experience
- Experience delivering complex SaaS or platform implementations
- Strong understanding of agile delivery and SAFe frameworks
- Comfortable leading engineering delivery teams at pace
- Hands on, delivery focused and technically credible
- Comfortable operating in evolving / greenfield environments
Additional details
- Immediate start required
- Initial 6-month contract with likely extension
- Hybrid working - typically 2-3 days per week in London
- Occasional travel within Europe
- Day rate up to £800/day (Outside IR35) depending on experience
This is very much a "hit the ground running" environment, so they're looking for someone comfortable stepping into ambiguity, creating structure quickly and driving delivery from day one.
