Director, Strategic Programme Delivery & PMO - J12455

We are looking for a Strategic Transformation Leader to drive our most critical business initiatives. As we scale rapidly, we need a "player-coach" who can lead complex programs from the front lines while simultaneously elevating our organization’s project management maturity.

This is not a back-office governance role. It is a high-visibility leadership position for a hands-on director who thrives on delivering results, navigating ambiguity, and turning complex project data into compelling strategic narratives for the Board.

What You Will Do

Lead High-Impact Delivery

• Drive Strategic Initiatives: Lead the end-to-end delivery of large-scale, multi-workstream programmes from initiation to benefits realization.

• Navigate the Matrix: Build consensus and drive momentum across diverse departments, regional teams, and external vendors to ensure alignment.

• Create Clarity from Ambiguity: Provide structure and clear direction in a high-growth, fast-paced environment where requirements can shift.

• Commercial Focus: Ensure every initiative is driven by a strong business case, managing dependencies and risks to protect the company's investment.

Executive Storytelling & Stakeholder Management

• Influence the C-Suite: Move beyond standard reporting. Translate complex operational updates into transparent, high-value strategic insights for senior leadership.

• "Sell" the Vision: Use exceptional presentation skills to articulate value, secure buy-in, and drive decision-making at the executive level.

• Strategic Insight: Support portfolio prioritization, capacity planning, and investment decisions with objective, data-backed analysis.

Define & Embed Excellence

• Design the Framework: Establish pragmatic, scalable methodologies, templates, and playbooks that fit the organization's needs rather than just strict theory.

• Elevate Capabilities: Coach and mentor project managers to improve execution speed and quality across the enterprise.

• Drive Adoption: Apply structured change management principles to ensure new standards are adopted and sustainable.

The Profile We Need

• Consulting DNA: A background in top-tier consultancy is highly preferred. You bring structured thinking and a client-service mindset to internal delivery.

• Proven Delivery Lead: 12+ years of experience leading complex, multi-year transformation initiatives, specifically within regulated industries (Insurance or Financial Services).

• Master Communicator: Strong PowerPoint skills are very much preferred. You must be able to create high-impact presentations that tell a clear story to executives.

• Resilient Leader: Proven ability to remain organized and effective in high-pressure, matrixed environments.

• Tools & Tech: Proficiency in modern project management software (Jira, Asana, MS Project, or Planview) and advanced Excel data analysis skills.

• Qualifications: Bachelor's degree required. Professional certifications such as PMP, PgMP, or PRINCE2 are highly preferred.
