Job description

ABOUT US:

LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) is more than a diversified global financial markets infrastructure and data business. We are dedicated, open-access partners with a dedication to excellence in delivering the services our customers expect from us. With extensive experience, deep knowledge and worldwide presence across financial markets, we enable businesses and economies around the world to fund innovation, manage risk and create jobs. It’s how we’ve contributed to supporting the financial stability and growth of communities and economies globally for more than 300 years. Through a comprehensive suite of trusted financial market infrastructure services – and our open-access model – we provide the flexibility, stability and trust that enable our customers to pursue their ambitions with confidence and clarity.

LSEG is headquartered in the United Kingdom, with significant operations in 70 countries across EMEA, North America, Latin America and Asia Pacific. We employ 25,000 people globally, more than half located in Asia Pacific. LSEG’s ticker symbol is LSEG.

OUR PEOPLE:

People are at the heart of what we do and drive the success of our business. Our culture of connecting, creating opportunity and delivering excellence shape how we think, how we do things and how we help our people fulfil their potential. We embrace diversity and actively seek to attract individuals with unique backgrounds and perspectives. We break down barriers and encourage teamwork, enabling innovation and rapid development of solutions that make a difference. Our workplace generates an enriching and rewarding experience for our people and customers alike. Our vision is to build an inclusive culture in which everyone feels encouraged to fulfil their potential.

We know that real personal growth cannot be achieved by simply climbing a career ladder – which is why we encourage and enable a wealth of avenues and interesting opportunities for everyone to broaden and deepen their skills and expertise. As a global organisation spanning 70 countries and one rooted in a culture of growth, opportunity, diversity and innovation, LSEG is a place where everyone can grow, develop and fulfil your potential with meaningful careers!!

ROLE SUMMARY:

We’re building something new. Data Platforms is a team of around 1,500 people who build and run the sourcing, platforming, and distribution of non-real-time data — such as pricing and reference data services — to financial institutions globally. We’re reshaping how this engineering organisation operates to deliver at its best.

The Engineering Programme Delivery Lead will play a central role in delivering a major, strategically important technology programme spanning multiple engineering teams, products and platforms.

You’ll work in close partnership with engineering and product leaders to turn programme objectives into coordinated, achievable delivery commitments. Crucially, you’ll understand how programme work fits within individual team backlogs alongside other priorities, ensuring dependencies, sequencing and capacity constraints are visible and managed.

This isn’t simply about managing plans and reporting progress. You’ll dive into the detail, challenge assumptions and work with teams to solve problems. You’ll help leaders make informed decisions about competing priorities, recognising that delivering the programme must be balanced against wider organisational risks, commitments and constraints.

You’ll report to the Head of Portfolio & Business Management for Data Platforms. You’ll succeed by combining strong delivery discipline, collaborative leadership and sound organisational judgement, keeping everyone focused on shared outcomes rather than individual teams’ contributions.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• Integrated Delivery Planning — Establish a credible programme plan grounded in the work, priorities and capacity of participating engineering teams. Ensure programme commitments are understood, reflected in team backlogs and supported by realistic delivery assumptions.
• Dependencies & Prioritisation — Identify and actively manage cross-team dependencies, sequencing and competing demands. Work with engineering and product leaders to evaluate trade‑offs, recognising when programme priorities must be balanced against broader organisational needs and risks.
• Collaborative Delivery Leadership — Build close partnerships across engineering, product and other functions. Maintain a shared understanding of progress, constraints and priorities, bringing people together to resolve problems, agree decisions and deliver end‑to‑end outcomes.
• Delivery Confidence & Intervention — Maintain an evidence-based understanding of delivery progress and risks. Investigate emerging issues, challenge assumptions and coordinate practical interventions. Present clear, actionable assessments to senior executives and board‑level audiences, confidently explaining delivery confidence, risks, trade‑offs and decisions required, including under scrutiny.
• Sustainable Delivery & Improvement — Understand how workforce capacity, financial constraints, operational obligations and technology risks affect delivery. Ensure plans remain realistic and sustainable, continually improving how work is coordinated without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:

You know how to coordinate complex technology delivery across teams with different priorities and accountabilities — and how to maintain progress when plans and circumstances change.

• Proven programme delivery experience across multiple engineering teams, products or platforms, with significant dependencies and distributed accountability.
• Strong integrated planning and dependency management , connecting programme objectives to team backlogs and understanding how competing commitments, capacity and sequencing affect delivery.
• Sound organisational judgement , evaluating trade‑offs between programme priorities and wider business needs, risks and constraints.
• Collaborative leadership and influence , building trusted partnerships with engineering and product leaders, constructively challenging decisions and driving collective problem‑solving without direct authority.
• Credibility with engineering teams , understanding software delivery well enough to engage with technical discussions, question assumptions and identify constraints without needing to be the technical expert.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills , using data to understand delivery reality, challenge assumptions and drive practical resolution of issues.
• Executive-level communication and presence , with experience presenting complex delivery matters in high‑stakes senior leadership forums and the credibility to engage at board level. You communicate concisely, defend evidence-based assessments, respond confidently to challenging questions and remain composed under pressure.

It would also be great if you bring:

• Experience in financial services, market data or fintech.
• Experience delivering technology transformation, platform modernisation or cloud migration programmes.
• Familiarity with Agile or product‑led engineering environments and delivery tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, GitLab or Asana.

Above all, you take ownership, dive deep and challenge constructively. You work collaboratively, lead with data and focus on achieving the right outcomes for customers and the wider organisation — not simply delivering programme milestones at any cost.
