Key responsibilities:
  • Represent the Service Transformation Team connecting strategy to execution excellence
  • Embed agile ways of working and embed delivery practices tailored to business needs
  • Own and maintain the team's Service Transformation backlog, prioritising initiatives and operational tasks for maximum impact
  • Facilitate planning cadences, stand-ups, retrospectives, and showcases to drive momentum and transparency
  • Develop and maintain dashboards and reporting tools to track progress, risks, and outcomes
  • Coordinate cross-functional inputs, manage dependencies, and ensure readiness for delivery
  • Engage stakeholders across the business, fostering alignment and clear communication
About You
You're a proactive, driven and organised individual who thrives in dynamic environments and loves developing plans that put strategy into action. You bring a collaborative mindset, exceptional stakeholder engagement skills, and a passion for continuous improvement. You are ready to challenge the status quo and help us deliver on our ambitious goals.

You'll be comfortable navigating ambiguity, driving clarity, and inspiring those around you. If you're looking for a role where you can make a real difference and grow your career, we want to hear from you.

What you'll bring:
  • Lived experience of how technology, process and people work together create excellent Service and Experience outcomes
  • Proven experience in backlog management, delivery coordination, or agile facilitation
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence and align diverse teams
  • Experience with agile tools such as JIRA and Confluence, and a knack for reporting and tracking delivery metrics
  • Familiarity with agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban) and exposure to business transformation or application lifecycle management (desirable)
  • Organised, proactive, and delivery-focused, with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
  • A collaborative, outcome-oriented approach and a genuine passion for making things better-for our team and our members
The US way
