Blue Light Card. Individually great, together unstoppable
The Role and the Team
Our platform connects millions of members with savings and experiences that make a real difference to their everyday lives, and Member Engagement is a key strategic focus for Blue Light Card, bringing together personalisation, loyalty, and cross-category initiatives to make the experience more relevant and rewarding for every member.
Reporting to the Director of Member Engagement, you'll take end-to-end ownership of the programme plan across five working groups spanning CRM, data, product, and go-to-market teams. This is a six-month fixed-term contract for someone comfortable building structure in ambiguous environments, working in close partnership with a Technical Programme Lead and contributing actively to BLC's wider Programme Management community.
What You'll Do
- Own and drive the end-to-end programme plan across the Member Engagement pillar, developing the planning frameworks, governance structures, and operating rhythms that create accountability and momentum across all workstreams
- Translate strategy into structured, executable plans across CRM, data, personalisation, loyalty, and go-to-market teams, ensuring workstreams are sequenced, owned, and aligned to strategic priorities
- Partner with the Technical Programme Lead on integrated planning and dependency management, keeping business and technical delivery aligned as the programme evolves
- Coordinate proactively across working groups and functions, resolving blockers and fostering a collective delivery mindset before challenges escalate
- Anticipate risks and delivery gaps, developing robust mitigation approaches and maintaining accountability across the pillar
- Establish and maintain a strong operating cadence, including planning cycles, progress tracking, and reporting that gives leadership clear visibility of performance against objectives
- Partner with senior leaders to stress-test and refine strategic priorities, using execution data and structured insight to surface what is and isn't working
- Build a measurement framework that connects programme outputs to member outcomes, creating the evidence base that informs what scales and what stops
- Develop and apply AI-enabled approaches to programme management, structuring plans, automating reporting and tracking, and identifying opportunities to reduce coordination overhead

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You'll Bring
- Significant experience leading cross-functional programmes end-to-end in product-led, digital environments, with a track record of turning ambiguous strategy into clear, structured delivery frameworks with measurable outcomes
- A background of building decision-making frameworks, governance structures, and operating cadences from scratch, rather than inheriting them
- Solid experience working alongside CRM, product, and data teams in an Agile environment, with a practical understanding of how digital delivery works at sprint level
- Experience partnering with technical leads on integrated planning, with confidence managing cross-functional dependencies across business and engineering delivery
- Strong prioritisation skills anchored in outcomes, with the ability to challenge direction, hold teams to account, and influence senior stakeholders without direct authority
- A collaborative approach that goes beyond coordination, championing shared ownership and collective ways of working across functions
- Familiarity with AI tools and a genuine interest in applying them to improve how programmes plan, report, and execute would be a bonus
