We’re looking for an experienced Program Manager to join our Friends and Community Team. A high-impact part of the business with strategic importance in our 2025 ambitions. This role will support delivery and team effectiveness while championing alignment, operational excellence, and agile ways of working.

• Lead execution of complex, cross-functional programs by creating clear plans, surfacing risks early, and keeping teams focused on high-impact outcomes.
• Strengthen coordination across stakeholders, establish planning cadences, and ensure transparency around progress, blockers, and timelines.
• Champion minimal viable processes that support team efficiency without unnecessary overhead.

  • Enable Strategic Alignment
• Partner with leadership to translate vision into executable plans, ensuring priorities, capacity, and cross-functional dependencies are aligned.
• Identify and resolve organizational challenges that may impact delivery, and support the evolution of scalable ways of working.

  • Champion Agility & Continuous Improvement
• Embed agile values and adaptive practices across teams, supporting iterative planning and collaborative delivery.
• Foster a culture of experimentation, learning, and psychological safety, where feedback and “good failure” drive innovation.

  • Build Consistency & Best Practice
• Develop and implement playbooks, templates, and shared tools to create consistency across teams while leaving room for flexibility.
• Establish delivery metrics and reporting frameworks to track progress, highlight risks, and support informed decision-making.


Required Experience & Skills
  • 4-6+ years of experience in programme or delivery management in agile, cross-functional environments.
  • Proven success in delivering complex projects or programmes with multiple teams and stakeholders.
  • Skilled in project planning, tracking, and documentation – across tools like Jira, Asana, Trello, or similar.
  • Comfortable owning planning rhythms and supporting team prioritisation in high-change, fast-moving contexts.
  • Experienced in aligning senior leaders around roadmaps, goals, OKRs, and team delivery plans.
  • A calm, organised, and adaptable communicator who thrives in ambiguity and brings structure and momentum to the table
