✅ Coordinate internal and external resources to deliver programme objectives
✅ Own our portfolio dashboard—ensuring visibility, consistency, and control
✅ Drive Jira tooling to enhance tracking and reporting across initiatives
✅ Partner with stakeholders across Product, Support, and Flutter functions
✅ Lead planning, progress tracking, and risk mitigation
✅ Manage budgets, resources, timelines, and scope changes with precision
✅ Facilitate “lessons learned” sessions to improve future delivery
✅ Communicate clearly, regularly, and with impact at all levels

What We’re Looking For

✔ 5+ years of proven project/programme delivery experience
✔ Confident in Agile environments (certification a bonus, but not required)
✔ Able to operate at scale and align projects to strategic business goals
✔ Experience working in online, eCommerce, or fast-paced digital organisations
✔ Excellent stakeholder management—especially with senior leaders
✔ Skilled in Jira and related reporting tools
✔ Strong organisational instincts and a talent for balancing detail with big-picture thinking

You’ll Thrive Here If You’re…

🔍 Naturally curious with a passion for continuous improvement
🤝 A collaborative team player who builds trust and brings people together
🧩 A creative problem-solver with a head for complexity and a heart for simplicity
⚡ High-energy, resilient, and not afraid to challenge (or be challenged)
🗣️ A confident communicator who can adapt to all kinds of stakeholders

If this sounds like the kind of role—and culture—you've been waiting for, we'd love to hear from you.
