Programme Director – Transformation Assurance & Delivery Excellence
Location: London (Hybrid)
About the Role
Albany Beck is seeking an experienced Delivery Assurance Director to join our consulting team and support a globally significant Financial Services organisation undergoing large-scale business, technology, and data transformation.
This is not a traditional Programme Director position. We are looking for someone who has operated at the highest levels of programme delivery and can now bring that expertise as a trusted advisor, assurance lead, and transformation SME. You will work across a portfolio of strategic initiatives, providing independent challenge, identifying delivery risks before they become issues, and helping senior stakeholders improve programme outcomes.
The successful candidate will combine the credibility of a seasoned Programme Director with the curiosity and analytical mindset of a consultant. You'll be comfortable engaging Executive Sponsors, Programme Directors, and C-suite stakeholders while also diving into programme detail to understand what is driving success—or holding delivery back.
