Job Description:
Are you ready to take the lead on a high-profile rail transformation programme? We're looking for a dynamic Programme Lead to steer a major fleet cascade initiative. This is a critical, visible role at the heart of cross-organisational change and delivery, with a focus on impact-not just process.
The ideal candidate will bring strategic clarity, operational insight, and change leadership experience from across the rail sector.
What You'll Be Doing
* Lead mobilisation of MkV services, on time and on budget-maximising benefits while actively managing risks.
* Own delivery of a complex, cross-functional change programme, transitioning smoothly into BAU.
* Inspire and guide a matrix team of contractors, internal stakeholders and suppliers.
* Be a visible and influential leader across the network
* Drive cross-organisational collaboration, influence senior stakeholders, and shape decisions with a holistic view-operational, commercial, financial, and strategic.
* Bring energy, direction, and accountability to a mission-critical programme for the business.
What We're Looking For
* Proven programme leadership in complex matrix environments
* Deep understanding of railway operations-enough to offer constructive challenge
* A strong track record of delivering major change in the rail sector
* Experience working in unionised, regulated environments
* Gravitas, political acumen, and confidence to operate at senior levels
* Ability to influence, coach, challenge and lead across boundaries
* Financial awareness and a sharp eye for delivery metrics
* Agile, hands-on, tenacious-someone who thrives under pressure
This is an opportunity to make a tangible difference, leading one of the most exciting transformation programmes in the rail sector. If you're energised by challenge, passionate about delivery, and ready to hit the ground running-we want to hear from you.
