How you'll help us live our purpose

We've been helping our members save for their future and buy their own home since 1875. Join us and you'll play a big role in helping us to put home ownership within reach of more people, generation after generation.

It's a purpose that drives everything we do. And you can play your part too. We're looking for an experienced Delivery Manager to join our Core Transformation programme on an 18-month Fixed Term Contract, leading the Senior Manager Framework (SMF) assurance process to support a safe, controlled and successful business transition.

How you'll make a difference

You will take ownership of the senior management assurance and attestation process across our Core Transformation programme, bringing pace, structure and clarity to the evidence and decisions needed to support a confident go-live.

Working closely with senior leaders, business teams and independent assurance functions, you'll develop and deliver a structured approach across four key assurance checkpoints, ensuring expectations, responsibilities and timelines are clearly understood.

You will coordinate evidence from across business readiness, technology, testing, migration, risk and controls, bringing complex information together into a clear, reliable picture of programme readiness. With accountability for the overall process, you'll ensure evidence is robust, traceable and available when needed, proactively identifying gaps, challenging concerns and driving actions through to resolution.

Engaging directly with Senior Manager Function holders and executive stakeholders, you'll facilitate meaningful assurance discussions, manage risks and dependencies, and provide clear reporting to support informed decisions. Your focus will be on creating a proportionate, transparent and well-controlled process that gives senior leaders confidence in the Society's readiness for change.

This isn't a technical implementation role. Your focus will be on ensuring a safe, controlled and successful transition into Business as Usual (BAU), bringing together the people, processes, plans and assurance needed to embed change and maintain operational stability.

What will you bring to the role?

• Proven experience leading complex transformation, regulatory change or governance programmes, with accountability for successful delivery and business outcomes.
• Strong project and delivery management expertise, with the ability to develop structured plans, coordinate multiple workstreams and deliver against challenging milestones.
• Experience operating within a regulated environment, ideally FS, with a sound understanding of regulatory expectations, governance, assurance and formal approval processes.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with experience engaging and presenting to Board and senior accountable stakeholders, including the confidence to challenge constructively and influence decisions at the highest levels.
• Experience coordinating evidence, managing assurance checkpoints and translating complex business, technology and risk information into clear, decision-ready reporting.
• Strong understanding of risk, controls and dependency management, ideally gained through delivering regulatory or risk-related change, with the judgement to identify gaps, elevate concerns and drive actions through to resolution.
• Ability to bring clarity to complex and ambiguous situations, balancing competing priorities while maintaining appropriate governance and delivery controls.
• Experience managing resources, budgets and delivery priorities, ensuring activity remains proportionate, efficient and focused on successful outcomes.
• A highly organised, collaborative and pragmatic approach, with strong facilitation skills, attention to detail and the confidence to maintain momentum across multiple stakeholders.

And in return, you'll get the best from us:

• Hybrid working - 2 days per week in the office
• Annual bonus of up to 12%
• Matched pension contributions up to 10%
• 26 days holiday, plus bank holidays and holiday purchase scheme
• Colleague Mortgage and Saver products
• 2 days' volunteering per year

We'll give you a place to belong with the support to learn, develop and shape a meaningful career.
