What you’ll be doing

In this role, you will manage a small team delivering small to medium scale projects within the Group Mortgages change portfolios. Those projects could impact any of our Home and Landlord, Sales and Operational teams and could be policy or controls driven but could also involve organisational change, workforce management improvements, or enhancements to the day‑to‑day Mortgage colleague experience. Your role will include the matrix management of resources to support change delivery, providing support and guidance to ensure their effectiveness. You will also be expected to ensure the quality of change delivery across Mortgages is of a high standard and brings a consistent experience to impacted colleagues.

There will be ambiguity in some of the work, and you will need to identify opportunities, analyse impacts, develop solutions, and implement change with optimal efficiency and effectiveness to support the division’s transformation agenda. The role includes acting as an ambassador for Mortgages, championing the customer (internal and external) as part of change delivery.

Your day‑to‑day role will involve determining the detailed impact of change upon the division, shaping project initiation activity to incorporate the needs of the division, and having a holistic view of all other activity impacting the division to ensure appropriate alignment of deliverables. This includes supporting the development of robust business cases for change activity accompanied by clear benefit realisation plans, to ensure the benefits of change are clearly understood, articulated and driven through to realisation.

A key expectation will be to build and manage key stakeholder relationships across multiple departments and potentially third‑party suppliers. To ensure the right contacts are representing Mortgages to deliver the targeted service and outcomes required by the division. Alongside this, ensuring robust risk management practices are in place, enabling identification, assessment and management through to satisfactory resolution, with particular emphasis on changes which impact the operational risk environment.

Ideally, you should be able to demonstrate an awareness of the Change & Delivery Framework, Change Management methodologies, project governance, RAID management practices, business analysis, impact assessment, and solution design. A history which includes people management would be preferable but not essential, as would experience of using Jira and Confluence.

  • Knowledge of change management principles/methodologies and their application
  • Knowledge of process improvement techniques and methodologies
  • Previous management experience in the financial services environment in a customer service / change delivery role
