Lead a £25m Global Digital Transformation Programme
Our client is seeking an experienced Digital Programme Director to lead a high-profile £25m digital transformation programme that will reshape and unify digital learning and assessment products used globally across more than 200 countries.
This is a hands-on leadership role for an individual who thrives on delivering complex digital programmes rather than managing from a distance. You'll take ownership of an ambitious platform transformation programme, bringing together multiple digital services onto a new unified platform while embedding innovative, AI-enabled delivery approaches.
The Opportunity
As the senior delivery lead, you will be accountable for end-to-end programme delivery, ensuring multiple workstreams, suppliers and stakeholders remain aligned to a clear, achievable plan. Working across Product, Technology, Data, UX, Content and Commercial teams, you will drive one of the organisation's most strategically important digital initiatives from mobilisation through to launch and stabilisation.
