Canary Wharf, London | Hybrid - circa 1 day per week onsite
Can you walk into a complex change portfolio, quickly work out what’s really going on and get delivery moving?
I’m looking for an experienced Portfolio Delivery Lead ideally within the insurance niche to take a key leadership role within a major financial services transformation programme.
This isn’t a role for someone who wants to sit above the detail and simply review status reports. You’ll be expected to get close to delivery, challenge where necessary, remove obstacles and create the pace, structure and accountability needed to get critical projects over the line.
Working as deputy to the Head of Change, you’ll provide hands‑on leadership across a portfolio of business and technology change, with key dependencies around a new Target Operating Model, Dynamics CRM and PAS implementation.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Taking ownership of delivery performance across a complex change portfolio
- Quickly assessing delivery health, risks, dependencies and resource challenges
- Stabilising priority or at-risk initiatives and putting practical recovery plans in place
- Managing critical dependencies across technology, business change and operations
- Challenging delivery plans, assumptions and timelines
- Providing robust delivery assurance, governance and RAID management
- Coaching and supporting Project Managers to strengthen delivery capability
- Influencing senior stakeholders and driving decisions
- Helping shape and prioritise the future change portfolio
Most importantly, you’ll be someone who can quickly separate genuine delivery risks from background noise, bring clarity to complexity and create confidence that things will get done.
Interested? Please drop me a message for a confidential conversation, or feel free to share with anyone in your network who could be a great fit.
