We are supporting a UK Bank on a large-scale technology integration and transformation programme. As part of this, we're looking for multiple Technical Delivery Leads to lead newly established delivery teams responsible for integrating critical customer, digital and core technology capabilities into a future operating model. This is a technical delivery role.
You'll own end-to-end delivery for a complex workstream, working with engineering, architecture, product and business stakeholders to deliver against immovable regulatory and programme milestones. The environment is fast-paced, highly complex and delivery-focused, requiring experienced leaders who can operate with autonomy whilst remaining close to the technical detail.
Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end delivery of a technical workstream from mobilisation through to production implementation.
- Own delivery planning, execution, governance and reporting.
- Coordinate engineering, architecture, product and business stakeholders to deliver agreed outcomes.
- Manage programme risks, issues, assumptions and dependencies.
- Drive sprint execution and participate in PI Planning within an established scaled Agile framework.
- Ensure delivery remains aligned to fixed programme milestones and regulatory deadlines.
- Coordinate technical and data migration activities including readiness, quality and implementation planning.
- Remove delivery blockers and resolve cross-team dependencies.
- Provide accurate progress reporting to senior programme leadership.
- Foster strong collaboration across multiple technology and business teams.
- Operate as the accountable delivery lead without relying on separate technical ownership.
Mandatory Requirements
- Extensive experience leading technical delivery within large-scale enterprise transformation programmes.
- Proven delivery experience across complex integration, migration or merger programmes.
- Strong understanding of software engineering and technology delivery, with the ability to engage confidently in technical discussions.
- Experience delivering cloud-based solutions (AWS experience preferred but other cloud platforms considered).
- Experience managing cross-functional teams including Engineering, Architecture, Product and Business stakeholders.
- Strong understanding of Agile delivery including Scrum, Sprint Planning and PI Planning.
- Excellent stakeholder management skills at both technical and senior leadership level.
- Demonstrable experience managing complex risks, dependencies and multiple delivery streams simultaneously.
- Able to work autonomously in a fast-changing programme environment.
Nice to Have Requirements
- Banking, insurance or other highly regulated industry experience.
- Customer migration or identity management experience.
- API integration experience.
- Experience delivering core platform modernisation or application decommissioning programmes.
- SAFe or other scaled Agile certification.
These roles are predominantly remote but will require weekly travel to a regional hub. The client has offices in the South West, London, Midlands and Scotland.
