Job description

Head of Programme Delivery - London (Hybrid, 3 days onsite)
Up to 110k base + strong benefits + bonus
FTSE 250 Global Tech & Transformation

TRIA are partnering with a rapidly evolving FTSE 250 organisation embarking on a major technology transformation journey. As the business transitions from a federated model to a centralised global structure, they are making significant investments in IT, modernisation, and enterprise-wide change.

We're searching for a high-impact Head of Programme Delivery to lead a team of Programme Managers responsible for delivering up to 50m of core IT and technology change initiatives. This is a pivotal leadership role, reporting directly into the Transformation & Change Director, with a broad remit and high visibility across the global business.

The Opportunity

As Head of Programme Delivery, you will provide the strategic leadership, governance and direction needed to ensure the successful delivery of a diverse portfolio of programmes. Working closely with Architecture, business sponsors, and senior leadership, you'll shape the roadmap, set standards, champion business change, and drive measurable outcomes across the organisation.

This role is right at the heart of a business modernising at pace - delivering significant, complex and global transformation.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and execute programme strategy to meet evolving business goals.
• Lead business change, ensuring readiness, adoption, and outcome-focused delivery.
• Drive delivery of strategic and transformational programmes, covering planning, governance, KPIs, and resource allocation.
• Own stakeholder engagement, building strong relationships at C-suite and programme level.
• Embed robust governance, ensuring clarity of roles and alignment with enterprise portfolio processes.
• Lead programme assurance, including independent reviews and action planning.
• Shape programme scope, driving analysis, consultation, and integration across the wider change portfolio.
• Manage multi-year resource and budget planning, ensuring effective utilisation and financial control.
• Provide inspirational leadership, aligning your team behind strategy, vision and objectives.
• Build organisational capability, identifying skills gaps, mentoring talent, and uplifting delivery maturity across the function.

What Will Help You Stand Out

• Proven track record in leading complex, high-value programme portfolios.
• Exceptional C-level stakeholder management skills.
• Experience delivering global transformation across complex, matrixed organisations.
• Evidence of improving or maturing programme delivery capability.
• Broad IT knowledge spanning infrastructure, applications, and enterprise change.
• Retail systems or store transformation experience is a bonus, but not essential.
