Desirable

• You will be managing multiple projects of varying size and complexity across infrastructure, compliance, third-party delivery, and platform development. Some work will be long-running “missions” that continuously improve core components; other projects will have fixed deliverables over weeks or months

• Act as Scrum Master on our ongoing missions
• Take projects from scoping and quarterly planning through to clear project plans and Jira epics/stories
• Lead shorter-term delivery, including coordinating with key clients on fast-turnaround integration projects
• Drive delivery in a fast-paced, changeable environment
• Coordinate across teams to ensure ownership is clear and nothing falls through the gaps
• Ensure compliance work is scoped, planned and delivered on time, including coordinating annual penetration testing and remediation tracking with third parties
• Work closely with the Head of Product, Heads of Engineering, Product Owners and delivery teams to make dependencies visible and understood
• Provide regular written and verbal status updates to our Product Board
• Maintain clear visibility of risks, decisions and escalations
• Proactively troubleshoot delivery issues and remove blockers
• Use AI and automation tools sensibly to improve reporting, ticket hygiene and ways of working (in line with OMS security and data handling expectations)
• This is a hands-on delivery leadership role with a lot of autonomy and a fast learning curve
