About the opportunity
A fast-growing international business is building a shared technology function, and it needs a Product Platform Delivery Lead to own the end-to-end customer journey on a major regulated national programme.
The platform is made up of several product components, each with its own product manager. They have to flow into one another and back again, across three or four agile squads and a set of fixed legislative go-live dates. Nobody yet owns the whole journey. You would. The scope starts in the UK and could widen as the business takes on more programmes in Europe.

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.
