Job Description

JOB TITLE: Lead Integrator - Cards Platform (Full-Time or Part-Time)

SALARY: £76,194 - £89,640 (Full-Time)

LOCATION(S)

Chester or Manchester

HOURS

Full-Time or Part-Time

WORKING PATTERN

Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time in the office.

This role is advertised under either a part-time or full‑time basis.

Part‑time applicants with an interest in 3 days per week (Monday‑Wednesday preferred) or 4 days per week are encouraged to apply.

About this opportunity

The Cards platform is at the heart of meeting the needs of new and existing customers who want to access flexible credit. Our purpose is to help Britain prosper through responsible lending and we do that through building great experiences for new and existing customers. We’re investing to make it effortless for customers to get the right credit product, features and service for their need, situation and lifestyle. We also know that customer s will change over time so we’re making sure that our products, features and experiences grow with them.

To meet our vision, we need to build and launch features at pace, through our 15+ feature teams, and in a complicated, regulated environment. In sharing the lead integrator role for the Cards platform, you’ll be at the heart of unlocking that pace to make digital and experience change happen for our customers.

What you’ll achieve

You’ll be accountable for building and leading a team to deeply understand and sequence the dependencies between feature teams, wider platforms in the group and 3rd parties. You’ll partner across Product Owners, Engineers, Customer Journey Managers and wider stakeholders to enable change to happen. As a leader in the Cards platform, we will look to you to hold a holistic view of our delivery forecasts, execution risks and flow of work.

On a day-to-day basis you’ll find yourself:

• Providing clarity, direction and challenge to a small team of colleagues.
• Collaborating and supporting alignment across broad stakeholder groups, whilst partnering on future priorities and roadmaps, bringing expertise on forecasting and estimation.
• Unblocking impediments and working through challenging situations to find solutions.
• Being a sounding board and consultancy for peers, providing experience and best practice in delivering agile at scale.

Part-time role structure

Where an applicant is interested in a part-time role the following information is relevant.

The role is structured as a job‑share between two colleagues, with a preference for 3 or 4 days per week, to allow an overlap day to best support alignment and collaboration. Working days that include Monday to Wednesday are preferred.

The Cards platform is structured into multiple labs, allowing each part-time colleague to own a distinct set of outcomes, whilst providing overall oversight and cover for non‑working days.

The platform has teams located in the UK (north west) and India (Hyderabad). Whilst there are opportunities to travel within the role, typically 1-2 times per year with 6-8 weeks of notice, travel beyond a home office is not a required part of the role.

What you’ll need

• This role is all about accelerating the delivery of digital customer experience change. You’ll bring deep expertise in technical or digital experience delivery.
• Proven experience leading and delivering change in a scaled agile environment over a number of years is important, as is familiarity with how to get the best from industry-standard toolkits like the Jira suite. Understanding both theory and practical techniques to manage delivery in an agile environment will be critical.
• To succeed you’ll need to be an experienced people leader, as you’ll be co‑leading a recently formed team of integrators for the platform. You’ll have proven leadership, with a track record of improving the teams you work in.
• You’ll be at your best when working with a variety of people, building enduring relationships and cutting through ambiguity to make delivery happen.
• Experience leading change in a regulated environment or the banking/lending sector is valuable, but not essential.

About working for us

Our focus is to ensure we’re inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture.

We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative. And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under‑represented groups.

We’re disability confident. So if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
• An annual performance‑related bonus
• Share schemes including free shares
• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
• 30 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top (pro‑rated for part‑time hours)
• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies

If you’re excited by the thought of becoming part of our team, get in touch.
