If you enjoy delivering complex business change, influencing senior stakeholders and improving how projects are delivered across an organisation, we'd love to hear from you.

This role offers the opportunity to combine programme delivery leadership with shaping our testing capability. You'll work closely with project teams, third‑party partners and our Global Test Practice team to define testing strategies, establish governance and ensure the right testing capability is in place from project initiation through to successful delivery.

You'll also help improve our testing maturity, quality standards and delivery outcomes across our wider Digital & Technology portfolio.

Working with significant autonomy, you’ll bring structure to complex environments, make informed decisions and help teams stay focused on delivering value.

This is a highly visible role where you'll build trusted relationships across Digital & Technology, Commercial, Supply Chain and the wider business. You'll engage, influence and constructively challenge senior leaders, helping create alignment across local and Global teams to keep important programmes moving forward.

Alongside programme delivery, you'll play an important role in developing project management capability across the function. You’ll coach Project Managers, champion HEINEKEN's delivery frameworks and continuously improve how we deliver change.
