• Develop and embed a practical AI Delivery Lifecycle, enabling teams to use AI-assisted development tools responsibly and effectively.
• Identify opportunities to improve productivity, standardise delivery practices and create reusable engineering assets.
• Communicate progress, challenges, decisions and business value clearly to stakeholders at all levels.

You'll bring a strong blend of technical credibility, delivery leadership and the ability to bring people together around shared goals.

Ideally, you'll have:

• A proven track record leading complex technology delivery across multidisciplinary teams.
• Experience delivering cloud-based software, digital, data or integration solutions.

🔹 The kind of leader who will thrive

You'll be pragmatic, collaborative and commercially aware, with the confidence to challenge constructively, make informed decisions and navigate ambiguity.

You'll understand that successful delivery isn't simply about meeting deadlines. It's about creating the right environment for teams to perform, delivering meaningful business value and continuously improving how technology gets built.
