Role Summary

EPOL partners with engineering leaders to provide frameworks, governance, and resources that enable delivery, reporting, risk management, and financial stewardship.
What you'll be doing
- Alignment & Governance – Own the planning cadence, decisions, priorities and information flow, ensuring data‑driven governance that feels useful rather than bureaucratic.
- Product Delivery – Keep portfolio progress visible, unblock teams, prioritise work, and investigate mismatches between metrics and reality.
- Teams & Workforce – Shape talent strategy, develop a culture of recognition, and manage contractor and vendor relationships with the same rigor as permanent teams.
- Risk & Controls – Proactively manage operational, technology and cyber risk, turning compliance into an enabler.
- Financial Management – Own the financial picture end‑to‑end, from investment planning to spend tracking across people, cloud, software and projects.
You will be responsible for
- Running governance forums and quarterly planning cycles.
- Producing executive‑level reporting and business cases.
- Driving workforce strategy and contractor management.
- Managing operational risk processes and control adoption.
- Ensuring financial accuracy, forecasting and transparency.
What you'll bring
- Experience running planning cadences, governance structures and delivery reporting across multi‑team environments, with a focus on simplification.
- Strong financial instincts – budget management, forecasting and cost spotting.
- Portfolio‑level risk, dependency and change management skills.
- Workforce strategy experience – balancing permanent hires, contractors, vendors and future skills.
- Ability to build trusting relationships with engineering teams and senior leadership.
- Clear, compelling communication – business cases, board papers, executive briefs.
- A drive to challenge status‑quo and automate, simplify, and improve processes.
It would also be great if you bring
- Familiarity with financial services, market data or fintech.
- Experience with agile delivery methodologies and product‑led ways of working.
- A recognised project or programme management qualification (MoP, PMP, PRINCE2) – credentials valued but capability is key.
- Exposure to engineering productivity metrics, cloud cost management or technology lifecycle planning.
