Job Description
Transition Implementation Lead
£75,000 per annum
Bedford
12 Month Fixed Term Contract
Hybrid Working
Ready to make a real difference? Join us at the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) as our Transition Implementation Lead. This is your chance to play a meaningful role in helping people across the UK build stronger financial futures and to do it as part of a supportive, energetic team.
Why This Role Matters
Money Guiders is a MaPS Service that helps organisations and practitioners build the skills, knowledge and confidence to provide effective money guidance. Following a successful pilot, Money Guiders is now scaling significantly, and as part of this, transitioning to a new managed learning service. This will bring together the platform, data, content, processes and support arrangements needed to deliver as an integrated, operational service.
This role will lead and own the integrated implementation of the Money Guiders transition plan, bringing together key elements of the digital transition including configuration, data migration, testing and operational readiness to deliver a controlled transition into live service.
You’ll join at a critical stage in the transition and will need to demonstrate strong leadership from the outset. You’ll be expected to hit the ground running, quickly establish a clear grasp of delivery priorities and dependencies, and bring teams together to maintain momentum and drive implementation forward.
Own cross-workstream implementation readiness, securing resource commitments, resolving dependencies and driving delivery through cutover, early-life support and operational handover. Exercise judgement where competing priorities, resource constraints or implementation risks threaten delivery, resolving issues within agreed authority and escalating decisions with clear recommendations.
Work alongside the Programme Manager and portfolio team within established governance arrangements. The Programme Manager owns programme governance, planning and risk across the wider change programme; this role provides the integrated implementation and readiness view into that governance. Specialist leads retain accountability for their technical deliverables; this role is accountable for ensuring those contributions come together into a coherent, operationally ready service.
.
You’ll join a team that’s passionate, collaborative, and driven by the belief that financial confidence should be something everyone can access.
