Your Team:

This role sits within the new Product Operations team, reporting into the Product Operations Lead, and is deployed onto specific high-priority initiatives as and when they arise, working alongside the Product Managers and Engineering Leads of every squad involved. You'll also work closely with the Product Governance Specialist and Product Partnership Manager where an initiative touches governance approval or third-party contracts, and you'll feed initiative-level status into the Product Operations Lead's wider portfolio reporting and forums such as the Product Development Monthly.

Your role in the Team’s Success:

This is a role for someone who thrives on the big, complex, cross-cutting initiatives that don't fit neatly inside a single squad or even a single domain - platform migrations, new product line launches, multi-quarter strategic programmes that touch several product areas  Delivery Lead you will own the end-to-end delivery of these initiatives, orchestrating multiple Product Managers, Engineering Leads, and squads toward a single outcome.

This is a role within a product-led organisation where we need people who are focused on outcomes, not just governance and milestones.

What you’ll do:

Cross-squad and cross-domain orchestration Own the end-to-end delivery plan for major initiatives that span multiple squads and/or multiple product domains, sequencing work across teams that don't normally plan together.  Support teams to carve deliverables/plans into manageable slices, making sure value can be found in each slice. Identify and actively manage dependencies between squads and domains - the handoffs, shared components, and sequencing constraints that a single squad's Product Manager can't see or resolve alone.

Bring together the right Product Managers, Engineering Leads, and other stakeholders at the right moments, without taking over their squads' day-to-day delivery.  Help to foster a psychologically safe working environment where people can raise problems, solve issues and find solutions. Programme-level risk and issue management Maintain a single, honest view of risk, issues, and critical-path dependencies across the whole initiative, escalating early and clearly to the Product Operations Lead and senior stakeholders.

Resolve conflicts where squads have competing priorities or constrained shared resources, making trade-offs visible rather than letting them cause silent slippage. Own contingency and mitigation planning for the risks that could derail a multi-team initiative — not just track them on a log. Stakeholder alignment and communication Act as the single point of accountability for "how is this initiative actually going" — able to give senior stakeholders, up to and including the Product Development Monthly forum, a clear and credible answer at any point.

Keep Product Managers, Engineering Leads, and other functions (Compliance, Legal, Data) aligned to a shared plan and timeline, even when their day-to-day priorities pull in different directions. Translate initiative complexity into simple, decision-ready…
