2. Creating business cases, gathering requirements, and managing delivery plans.
3. Collaborating with SMEs and managing customer journeys.
4. Engaging stakeholders and promoting solutions that meet real business needs.
5. Supporting governance, reporting, and stakeholder communications.

Base location: Hybrid/Reading, with occasional travel to Walnut Court, Swindon.

Working pattern or hours: 36 hours – Full time.

What you should bring to the role

• Experience in continuous improvement and project delivery across cross-functional teams.
• Strong stakeholder management and a customer-centred approach.
• Energy and drive throughout the full project lifecycle.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to elicit and define requirements using a range of techniques.
• Strong presentation and Excel skills to support decision-making and track delivery.

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive salary from £47,000 to £58,000 per annum, depending on experience.
• 26 days holiday per year increasing to 30 with length of service (plus bank holidays).
• Generous Pension Scheme through AON.
• Wellbeing support, Cycle to Work scheme, shopping discounts, and more.
