About the Role
Lead critical transformation programmes that matter. We're seeking an experienced Programme Delivery Manager to lead complex, high-profile transformation and regulatory change programmes within a customer-focused and highly regulated environment.
This is not a traditional Programme Manager role. We're looking for a senior delivery leader who can partner with executives, influence strategic decisions, challenge constructively when required, and ensure major change is delivered safely, effectively and sustainably.
You'll be responsible for shaping delivery approaches, managing competing priorities, balancing risk and readiness, and providing the delivery judgement needed to navigate complex organisational change.
What We're Looking For
Essential Experience
- Proven experience as a Programme Delivery Manager, Programme Manager or Senior Programme Lead.
- Deep experience delivering complex programmes and transformation initiatives.
- Proven experience delivering major programmes within a Housing Association, Registered Provider, Local Authority Housing service, Adult Social Care provider or Care Technology environment.
- Strong track record of delivering programmes involving regulatory, operational or compliance-driven change.
- Experience managing complex multi-workstream programmes involving Digital, Data, Change, Operations and third-party suppliers.
- Experience partnering with Executive Sponsors, Directors and senior leadership teams.
- Demonstrable experience managing significant programme budgets and delivery risk.

- Experience working with suppliers serving the housing or care sectors.
You will be:
- Highly autonomous and comfortable working with ambiguity.
- Pragmatic, commercially minded and focused on outcomes rather than process for process' sake.
- Credible at Executive and Director level, able to build trusted long-term relationships.
- Confident challenging senior stakeholders and holding others accountable for delivery commitments.
- Resilient and calm under pressure, particularly when delivering critical change programmes.
- Skilled at balancing pace, risk, readiness and value to make sound delivery decisions.
