Director of Product & Delivery — London / Stockport / Bournemouth (Hybrid)
£100-120k + great bonus and benefits
Stuck shipping roadmaps you don't believe in?
If you're ready to own the journey end-to-end, this is where you lead the whole thing.
What's in it for you
* Real scope, real clout:
You'll steer autonomous value streams with a
~£10m portfolio
, turning strategy into outcomes that matter at national scale.
* Executive seat at the table:
You'll work directly with senior leadership, shaping priorities and removing blockers fast.
* Career stretch:
You'll lead product, experience design and portfolio delivery across journeys used by
millions
, with clear room to grow your remit.
* Evidence you can talk about:
Multi-stream delivery, measurable OKRs, and a mandate for continuous improvement.
What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it)
You'll
own the product and delivery agenda
across defined customer journeys—setting strategy, prioritising value, and landing brilliant experiences:
* Set the vision & roadmap:
Translate strategy into epics, features and outcomes that hit OKRs—
which means
you'll focus time and budget where they move the needle.
* Lead delivery at scale:
Run backlogs, capacity and spend across teams; keep velocity high and cycle time low—
which means
faster, predictable releases.
* Champion the experience:
Bring product, design, engineering and data together to build journeys customers actually enjoy—
which means
fewer hand-offs, more accountability.
* Own the stack with peers:
Partner with technology leaders to deliver secure, scalable platforms—
which means
fewer surprises in production.
* Make change stick:
Model modern ways of working (SAFe/Agile), coach leaders, and raise the bar on outcomes, not output—
which means
teams ship better, sooner.
Where you'll be doing it
You'll join a large, purpose-driven organisation with multiple software verticals and a
strong tech division "powering the future."
That
variety
gives you room to move sideways into other streams as you progress. Hybrid working with time each week in
London, Stockport or Bournemouth
keeps you close to the people who make things happen.
What you'll need
* An established
executive profile
with the gravitas to align senior stakeholders and the energy to inspire teams.
* 15+ years
across product/R&D/portfolio/change with a track record of landing complex programmes.
* Sharp
customer-experience intuition
and the ability to turn insight into simple, elegant delivery.
* Comfort leading cross-functional teams in
Agile at scale
(SAFe familiarity a plus).
* An
effectiveness mindset
—you prioritise, make hard calls, and keep ownership end-to-end.
* People leadership where
EQ > IQ > ego
—you build engaged, high-performing teams.
What you'll get
* Executive-level package
with bonus and benefits.
* The mandate and budget to
ship meaningful change
at national scale.
* A culture that values
drive, tenacity and urgency
—and recognises results.
