🚀 ASAP start
Can you walk into a complex change portfolio, quickly work out what’s really going on and get delivery moving?
I’m looking for an experienced Portfolio Delivery Lead ideally within the insurance niche to take a key leadership role within a major financial services transformation programme.
This isn’t a role for someone who wants to sit above the detail and simply review status reports. You’ll be expected to get close to delivery, challenge where necessary, remove obstacles and create the pace, structure and accountability needed to get critical projects over the line.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Working as deputy to the Head of Change, you’ll provide hands-on leadership across a portfolio of business and technology change, with key dependencies around a new Target Operating Model, Dynamics CRM and PAS implementation.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Taking ownership of delivery performance across a complex change portfolio
- Quickly assessing delivery health, risks, dependencies and resource challenges
- Stabilising priority or at-risk initiatives and putting practical recovery plans in place
- Managing critical dependencies across technology, business change and operations
- Challenging delivery plans, assumptions and timelines
- Providing robust delivery assurance, governance and RAID management
- Coaching and supporting Project Managers to strengthen delivery capability
- Influencing senior stakeholders and driving decisions
- Helping shape and prioritise the future change portfolio
