The Product Delivery Lead enables Xplan Portfolio product teams to deliver meaningful customer and business outcomes by embedding disciplined yet empowering delivery practices. This role ensures alignment across teams and stakeholders, anticipates and mitigates risks, and champions quality standards that support predictable, high-value delivery.

• Risk & Dependency Management: Anticipate and address risks or dependencies that could impact product outcomes, working with teams to implement mitigation strategies early.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Excellent communication and influencing skills with executives, product leaders, engineering, and external stakeholders. 

• Risk & Dependency Management: Skilled in identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks and dependencies to protect delivery outcomes. 

• Data & Insights Orientation: Proficient in using delivery metrics (e.g., throughput, cycle time, OKRs) to provide actionable insights and drive improvement. 

• Quality Mindset: Understanding of quality assurance practices; able to embed standards that ensure reliability without unnecessary overhead. 

• Facilitation & Collaboration: Experienced in leading workshops, retrospectives, and cross-team forums to unlock alignment and accelerate progress. 

• Problem-Solving & Adaptability: Able to navigate ambiguity, resolve blockers quickly, and adapt delivery practices to evolving business needs. 

• Continuous Improvement: Passionate about optimisation, embedding feedback loops, and cultivating a culture of learning.
