We are seeking a senior, hands‑on planner with extensive experience delivering large-scale transformation programmes involving complex technology, data, business change and multi‑supplier environments.
Experience of global or multi‑region rollouts is highly desirable.
The successful candidate will do more than build schedules; they will actively shape delivery plans, working with architects, SMEs, suppliers and customer teams to identify dependencies, critical paths, risks, assumptions and key decisions.
They will be comfortable operating in ambiguity, facilitating planning workshops, challenging assumptions and driving integrated, evidence‑based planning.

- Translate high‑level requirements into realistic work packages, milestones, dependencies and delivery sequences.
- Shape and challenge delivery plans, ensuring assumptions, dependencies, ownership and sequencing are credible and achievable.
- Facilitate planning workshops to identify activities, risks, blockers, dependencies and critical path items.
- Coordinate plans across suppliers, workstreams and domains to create a coherent end‑to‑end delivery view.
- Manage cross‑functional dependencies spanning architecture, engineering, data, testing, cyber, environments, migration, operations and business change.
- Maintain and analyse critical paths, assessing delivery risks and sequencing impacts.
- Support Agile and iterative delivery planning, including sprint, release, proof‑of‑concept and incremental delivery approaches.
- Ensure plans align with business priorities, customer journeys, operational readiness and regional requirements.
- Integrate planning assumptions, risks, issues and dependencies with RAID governance processes.
- Produce planning artefacts including milestone plans, dependency maps, readiness plans, dashboards and executive reporting.
- Support scenario planning, delivery trade‑off analysis and governance activities.
- Use tools such as Jira, Confluence, Miro and reporting platforms to improve planning visibility and delivery insight.
- Mandatory Experience & Skills
- Proven experience as a Senior PO Planner, Integrated Planner or Planning Lead on large‑scale transformation programmes.
- Strong track record of developing and managing complex integrated delivery plans.
- Experience in multi‑supplier technology and data transformation environments.
- Expertise in delivery sequencing, critical path analysis and dependency management.
- Experience working closely with architects, SMEs, suppliers and business stakeholders to define realistic delivery approaches.
- Knowledge of Agile, iterative delivery, release planning, backlog readiness and progressive elaboration techniques.
- Ability to translate requirements, epics, design, build, test and rollout activities into structured delivery plans.
- Experience across technology, data, architecture, engineering, testing, migration, operations, business change and PMO functions.
- Strong workshop facilitation, stakeholder management and communication skills.
- Experience linking plans to RAID processes, governance reporting and executive‑level decision making.
