Why this role matters

The Programme Manager will lead a complex, cross-team initiative overseeing the on-boarding and implementation of a new system. This role is critical in ensuring a smooth transition from the legacy system, while driving adoption of new tools and ways of working.

In addition to delivery, this role will provide clear commercial oversight of the programme, ensuring spend is controlled, supplier performance is actively managed, and value is delivered against agreed outcomes. Supporting change management and communications will be a key focus, helping teams through both technical and operational change while maintaining delivery momentum.

• Provide clear governance, reporting, and stakeholder updates

Commercial Control & Supplier Management

• Own day-to-day commercial oversight of the programme, including budget tracking and cost management
• Ensure clear linkage between spend and deliverables, with no uncontrolled scope expansion
• Manage third-party vendors against agreed scope, milestones, and commercial terms
• Identify and escalate commercial risks early, including delays, cost overruns, or misalignment to outcomes
• Work closely with procurement and finance to ensure appropriate governance, approvals, and value realisation

Implementation & Roll-out

• Oversee phased roll-out across teams and regions
• Ensure readiness across content migration, integrations, and processes
• Coordinate testing and go-live activities to minimise disruption

Ways of Working & Alignment

• Define clear roles and processes for content and localization workflows
• Enable collaboration across Digital Product and Marketing teams
• Manage cross-team dependencies and drive alignment

Communication & Stakeholder Management

• Act as the central coordination point across teams
• Deliver clear, concise updates tailored to different audiences
• Build strong relationships to drive engagement and momentum

What you'll bring to the team

• Strong project management experience in complex digital implementations
• Demonstrated ability to manage budgets, suppliers, and commercial outcomes alongside delivery
• Proven change management and stakeholder engagement skills
• Excellent communication and ability to simplify complexity
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, evolving environments
• Collaborative, pragmatic, and delivery-focused
