We are seeking a Delivery Lead/Product owner who is a strong executionist, deeply product-oriented, and accountable for driving outcomes—not just activity. This role is responsible for defining the vision, shaping the roadmap, and ensuring disciplined execution of complex, cross-functional programs, with a strong focus on Legal, while partnering closely with Procurement, HR, Finance, and Business stakeholders. The successful candidate will combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery leadership, ensuring programs deliver measurable business value, improved efficiency, and cost-effective outcomes. Core Responsibilities 1. Program Vision, Strategy & Roadmap • Define and own the end-to-end program vision, aligned to business and value- stream objectives • Translate strategy into prioritised, phased delivery roadmaps • Ensure all initiatives are aligned to OKRs, KPIs, and value realisation metrics • Continuously assess trade-offs between scope, cost, speed, and quality 2. Execution & Delivery Leadership (Non-Negotiable) • Drive decisive, execution-focused delivery across multiple workstreams • Proactively identify and resolve risks, blockers, and dependencies • Hold teams accountable for commitments, timelines, and outcomes • Maintain momentum—avoid slow, overly cautious, or passive delivery approaches • Ensure delivery remains focused on business outcomes, not just task completion 3. Product-Oriented Mindset • Operate with a product mindset, even within program delivery • Clearly articulate customer, user, and business value • Partner with Product, Legal, and Technology teams to ensure solutions are fit-for- purpose • Balance short-term delivery with long-term platform sustainability 4. Stakeholder & Business Partnership • Act as a trusted delivery partner to Legal, Procurement, HR, Finance, and Business leaders • Build strong, credible relationships through transparency and consistent execution • Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders • Influence decisions using data, clarity, and outcome-based framing 5. Agile Delivery, Governance & Ceremonies • Establish and run effective program ceremonies (planning, backlog refinement, reviews, retrospectives, steering) • Implement lightweight governance that enables speed rather than constraining it • Maintain strong backlog discipline, prioritisation, and delivery cadence • Adapt delivery models (Agile / hybrid) based on program needs 6. Metrics, OKRs & Performance Management • Define and track OKRs, KPIs, and delivery metrics • Use data to drive prioritisation, decision-making, and course correction • Regularly report progress, risks, and outcomes to senior stakeholders • Ensure transparency of value delivered vs. effort investment 7. Documentation & Delivery Artefacts • Own and maintain high-quality documentation, including: o Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) o Business Requirement Documents (BRDs) o Program plans and delivery roadmaps o Risk, dependency, and decision logs • Ensure documentation is clear, concise, current, and usable • Treat documentation as an execution enabler, not an afterthought 8. Technical Agnostic Capability • Operate confidently in complex technical environments • Partner effectively with architects, engineers, and platform teams • Diagnose delivery or system issues at a high level and drive resolution • Experience supporting multiple systems, integrations, or platforms is strongly preferred
