Join us as a Change Programme Assurance Manager

  • In this influential role, you’ll work with the teams delivering the most important programmes of change within the bank to ensure their successful delivery
  • You’ll challenge and support senior programme leaders – gaining their confidence and contributing to the successful delivery of the programme, its outcomes and its benefits
  • This is an opportunity to build excellent relationships with senior leadership across the bank, giving you and your work great exposure

What you'll do

As a Change Programme Assurance Manager, you use your expertise and judgement to make sure that programmes are set up for success – while also determining the best remedies to recover programmes under issue or challenge. You’ll build strong working relationships with colleagues – always able to challenge them on their programme status while helping to bring out the required behaviours and techniques for success.

You’ll also be:

  • Identifying issues and potential future risks that require escalation to senior leaders in a timely manner
  • Using your prior change delivery experience to help develop remediation plans to existing programme issues, while also mitigating and controlling any delivery risks
  • Using leadership tools and techniques to assure programmes and apply key learnings to other programmes within the bank portfolio
  • Building relationships with first, second and third line of defence colleagues to actively drive engagement

The skills you'll need

You’ll need a high-level skillset and experience of programme management. We’re looking for someone with a background as a programme assurance practitioner or change programme peer reviewer. We’ll also expect you to have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to influence senior colleagues.

Additionally, you’ll need:

  • A broad understanding of business management and programme management practices, processes, tools and techniques
  • The ability to engage with and challenge programme teams using data rather than opinion, influencing decisions at a senior level where appropriate
  • A background of analysing, interpreting and distilling complex information and making decisions on what actions to take
  • The ability to undertake assurance activity across several programmes concurrently
  • Experience of bank-wide investment processes, with detailed knowledge of the tools and techniques used to manage delivery and benefits management
