THE ROLE

We are seeking a Delivery Manager (early-career) to bring structure and accountability to how the Technology & Digital Services (TDS) team delivers software, infrastructure, and vendor-led projects. This is a cross-functional role that sits at the heart of TDS delivery, coordinating across internal engineering squads, Product Managers, architects, and third-party vendors to help ensure that projects are delivered on time, to standard, and without disruption to the business.

You will work closely with the India-based Release Manager, supporting day-to-day release priorities and pipeline standards, and helping to coordinate delivery activities across both teams. You are not expected to manage squads directly, that is shared with the Scrum Master and Product Managers, but you will be the person who helps ensure everyone is aligned, dependencies are managed, and nothing falls through the cracks.

This is a role for someone who thrives in complexity, can support internal teams and external vendors to stay on track (even without direct authority), and can translate technical delivery status into clear communication for project stakeholders.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Delivery Coordination & Project Management

• Plan, coordinate, and track delivery across concurrent Digital Transformation workstreams and BAU changes, maintaining a clear and consolidated view of progress, risks, and dependencies at all times.
• Work closely with Technical Leads, Architects, and Product Managers to ensure delivery is on track, proactively surfacing blockers and facilitating their resolution without taking over squad-level ownership.
• Help define and communicate what teams need to deliver in order for work to be considered ready to enter the CI/CD pipeline, working in alignment with the Definition of Ready and Definition of Done standards maintained by Product Management.
• Support Product Managers in managing coordination overhead across workstreams, acting as a force multiplier for delivery capacity within TDS.
• Collaborate with the data capability and Platform Owner to ensure data-related delivery workstreams are appropriately integrated into the broader delivery schedule.
• Maintain accurate delivery documentation, including project plans, RAID logs, and status reports, ensuring stakeholders always have a clear and honest picture of delivery health.

Vendor & Third-Party Delivery Management

• Ensure that third-party vendors adhere to TDS release processes, quality gates, and delivery standards, monitoring compliance and escalating issues within the delivery lifecycle.
• Coordinate vendor delivery activities within the broader delivery schedule, managing dependencies between internal and external workstreams to avoid conflict or disruption.
• Monitor vendor delivery performance and raise concerns early to the relevant Product Manager and the Engineering Lead, providing clear evidence and suggested actions.
• Apply structured project and delivery management approaches (e.g. stage gate processes) where vendors operate outside of an agile framework, ensuring appropriate governance and delivery controls are in place.

Release Oversight & Pipeline Standards

• Provide day-to-day support to the India-based Release Manager on release priorities, pipeline standards, and process compliance, working closely with key delivery and technical leads across both roles.
• Support release readiness and go/no-go activities by gathering inputs and ensuring criteria are tracked, in partnership with Head of Design & Engineering and relevant Technical Leads, ensuring that all delivery and quality criteria are met before any release proceeds to production.
• Support the ongoing improvement of the CI/CD pipeline and release ways of working, identifying gaps and proposing practical process updates as the capability matures.
• Ensure that release processes and standards are understood and consistently followed by all internal teams and vendors.

Incident Management

• Coordinate incident resolution when release-related or production issues arise, acting as the central point of contact across engineering teams, vendors, and architects to drive swift diagnosis and remediation.
• Ensure all incidents are properly documented and reviewed as part of a continuous improvement process, feeding lessons learned back into delivery and release standards.

Architecture & Technical Governance

• Build sufficient understanding of the organisation's architecture, including products, software, data, cloud, and security, to coordinate delivery effectively across technical disciplines.
• Work closely with the architect community (system, data, cloud, enterprise, and security architects) to help ensure that delivery decisions respect architectural standards and constraints.
• Escalate technical risks or architectural concerns identified during delivery to the appropriate architect or the Engineering Lead.

Stakeholder Communication & Reporting

• Provide regular, consolidated delivery and release status updates to the Head of Design & Engineering and wider TDS leadership.
• Support and facilitate cross-team delivery forums and release planning sessions, ensuring the right people are in the room and that decisions are made efficiently.
• Contribute to CAB meetings, providing accurate and timely information on upcoming releases to support informed change advisory decisions.

SKILLS & COMPETENCIES

To be successful in this role, you will demonstrate:

• Strong delivery management skills, with the ability to coordinate complex, multi-team environments involving internal squads and external vendors.
• Comfortable engaging with architects and engineers on software, infrastructure, and cloud topics, with the ability to understand delivery impacts and ask the right questions without needing to be a practitioner.
• Good understanding of agile delivery practices, with experience working alongside Scrum Masters and Product Managers in a cross-functional squad model, including sprint-based release cycles and continuous delivery practices.
• Working understanding of structured project management methodologies, particularly in the context of stage gate processes and vendor delivery governance.
• Strong influencing skills, able to encourage internal teams and vendors to work to agreed standards without direct line management authority.
• Highly organised, with strong planning, prioritisation, and risk management skills across concurrent workstreams.
• Clear and confident communicator, able to translate technical delivery status into plain language for non-technical stakeholders.
• Resilient and pragmatic, comfortable operating in a maturing delivery environment and driving improvement incrementally.
• Delivery focus with strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Passion for sustainability and the mission to lead the transition to clean energy.
• Commitment to NextEnergy Group's values: be a leader, build trust, be responsible, be innovative, and 'bring your alpha'.

EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS 

• Minimum of 3 years of experience in a delivery management or technical project management role within a software or technology delivery environment.
• Proven track record of coordinating delivery across internal engineering teams and third-party vendors simultaneously.
• Experience working in an agile delivery environment, with a strong understanding of how delivery management integrates with squad-based ways of working, including sprint-based release cycles, continuous delivery practices, and supporting release planning across one or more agile teams.
• Working understanding of software architecture, cloud infrastructure, and data platform concepts, sufficient to coordinate effectively across technical disciplines.
• Familiarity with structured project management methodologies (e.g. PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent), particularly in the context of stage gate processes and managing vendors operating outside of an agile framework.
• Experience working with Azure DevOps or equivalent tools for project tracking and delivery coordination.
• Familiarity with Change Advisory Board (CAB) processes and how delivery and release management feeds into change governance.
• Experience managing or providing direction to geographically distributed teams is highly desirable.
• Experience working in a regulated industry (e.g. energy, finance, utilities, or similar) is desirable.
• The right to work in the UK

WHAT WE OFFER 

• A busy role in a supportive team, with plenty of opportunities to learn
• International scope – we operate in over 8 countries
• Hybrid working – we will need you in the central London (Mayfair) office at least twice a week, but you will normally be able to work remotely for the remainder of the week

Top 3 qualities for this role: Collaborative. Data-driven. Proactive

Where you’ll work:

Depending on the needs of your business area, we expect hub based people to be in the office at least once a week, and to go to OVO Connection events in-person.

Teamworking for the planet:

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how:

This role sits in a fast paced and autonomous corporate venture called OVO Solar & Heating, whose remit is to re-establish and grow OVO’s renewables business. The business was launched in March 2025 on a highly innovative Franchising business model, and within 4 months outpaced OVO’s best ever monthly solar sales. By the end of 2027, the unit is expected to be one of the largest solar & heat pump installation companies in the UK.

This role in a nutshell:

We're looking for an experienced, high-energy Commercial Manager to accelerate the success of our national solar and heating franchise network. Your goal is to help our franchisees identify, pitch, and win B2B solar and heating projects.

You'll define and deliver BD strategies and work closely with our franchisees — building their local pipelines, crafting BD strategies, and supporting bids and pitches, whilst building up their capabilities. Ultimately, your success will be measured in the volume and value of sales you have co-authored. 

Your key outcomes will be:

 Commercial BD Strategy and Delivery

• Localised Growth Plans: Partner with each franchisee to build a commercial BD plan tailored to their specific territory, local economy, and experience.
• Campaign Development: Design and launch targeted BD campaigns (e.g., targeting local industrial parks, agricultural hubs, or property developers).

• Public Sector Bid Support: identify strategic opportunities and support franchisees to collaboratively build high-quality technical and commercial bids.

Commercial Partnerships

• New Partners: Collaborate closely with OVO’s Partnerships Lead to identify, vet, and manage high-impact commercial partners that align with strategic growth objectives.
• Value Proposition: Continuously refine and optimise our partnership value proposition, ensuring the offering is commercially competitive and meets the needs of key stakeholders.

Franchisee Enablement

• Capability Building: Move franchisees from "supported" to "independent" by building their capability to pitch and bid effectively.
• Knowledge Bank: Create and maintain a "Bid-in-a-Box"—a centralized library of templates, case studies, PSQ responses, and technical PDFs that make bidding fast and scalable.
• Review & Audit: Act as the final "expert eye" on franchisee-led bids to ensure quality and brand consistency.

You’ll be successful in this role at OVO if you are…

• Strong communicator - you can write a technical tender response that wins over a procurement board, and a pitch deck that excites a commercial business owner.
• Entrepreneurial spirit - You enjoy the "scrappy" nature of a franchise model. You're happy to jump on a call to help a franchisee close a £70k project one day, and support a £1.2m council bid the next.
• Strategic navigator - review opportunities and focus on the highest impact. You have the judgement to prioritise high-likelihood wins over "busy work."
• Pragmatic, resourceful and fast-moving - happy to operate in an ambiguous startup-style environment and make judgement calls
• Proven experience in bid management & BD - you have a track record of winning pitches, bids and tenders primarily in the private sector and possibly in the public sector.
• Commercial storyteller - you have the writing capability to turn technical solar and heat specifications into a compelling value proposition. You can create pitch decks that land with private-sector decision-makers.
• Strategic relationship builder - you have experience in "pre-tender" engagement. You know how to identify and influence key stakeholders in commercial organisations. An existing network is a big plus.
• Capability builder - You’ve built "knowledge banks" or "bid-in-a-box" templates before. You know how to centralise case studies, compliance docs, and technical PDFs to make the bidding process scalable.

Let’s talk about what’s in it for you:

We’ll pay you between £55,000 and £60,000, depending on your specific skills and experience.

We also offer plenty of green benefits and progressive policies to help you feel like you belong at OVO…and there’s flex pay. We'll give you 9% Flex Pay on top of your salary – 4% of this is auto enrolled into your pension, and the remaining 5% is yours to do what you like with. You can use this to buy from our extensive range of flexible benefits, including our green benefits which we've put at the heart of our offering, add to your pension or even take it as cash.

About the role:

This role is a key leadership position within Samsara’s Global Partnerships team, specifically responsible for our Fleet Management Company (FMC) ecosystem strategy. This is a high impact role at the intersection of strategy and GTM, and focuses on building & activating partnerships in a space with momentum for us. 

This is a leadership opportunity for a builder who can navigate the complexity of FMCs and align joint growth objectives. You will define and activate the optimal route-to-market model - establishing the commercial structure (e.g., co-sell, referral, resale, or hybrid) that drives scalable, incremental revenue for both organisations.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the UK or possibly France.

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
• You have an innate curiosity about how businesses work: One day you’ll meet with someone in waste management and the next you may be learning about the inner workings of a food distribution center. Our top sales team members seek to learn the ins and outs of the businesses they support in order to make a larger impact. 
• You build genuine relationships with your customers: The industries we serve have relied on pen-and-paper solutions for years and haven’t been met with the type of technology we offer. Our customers value earned trust and human relationships built over time.
• You want to be with the best: Samsara’s high-performance culture means you’ll be surrounded by the best and challenged to go farther than you have before. 
• You are a team player: At Samsara, sales is a team sport. We help each other out by sharing best practices and focusing on winning as a team.

In this role, you will: 

Build our Fleet Management Company (FMC) partner motion in EMEA, starting with the UK and France. This role will own and scale Samsara’s FMC GTM strategy with leading leasing and fleet management companies who are already Samsara customers and want to partner more strategically. Your mission is to convert interest into a repeatable, revenue-generating motion.

This is a builder-operator role. You will not inherit a mature program. You will design, activate, and scale the model alongside Sales, Marketing, and regional leadership.

This is a high-impact individual contributor role with clear revenue influence metrics.

Location: United Kingdom (remote). French language skills are a strong plus.

What You’ll Own

Build and Activate the FMC Partner Motion

• Define and operationalise a scalable FMC GTM model for UK and France
• Develop clear value propositions for both Samsara and FMC partners
• Align commercial incentives and engagement models
• Establish partner engagement cadence and activation plans

Drive Revenue Through Partners

• Generate and influence pipeline through activated FMC relationships
• Work closely with Enterprise and Mid-Market AEs to embed partners into live opportunities
• Track referral flow, pipeline creation, and revenue influenced
• Personally drive early lighthouse opportunities to prove the model

Scale What Works

• Document playbooks, engagement models, and activation processes
• Identify structural blockers and fix them (incentives, enablement, positioning)
• Partner cross-functionally with Sales Leadership, Marketing, RevOps, and Product 

Executive-Level Partner Engagement

• Build strong top-down relationships within FMC organisations
• Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder environments
• Position Samsara as a strategic technology partner within their ecosystem

Minimum Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in partnerships, business development, or enterprise sales within B2B technology
• Proven experience scaling or significantly expanding a partner motion (not just managing relationships)
• Demonstrated success influencing revenue through partners in a complex sales environment
• Experience navigating multi-stakeholder enterprise deals
• Strong commercial acumen and ability to structure mutually beneficial partner models
• Experience working cross-functionally within a matrixed sales organisation
• Based in the UK and legally authorised to work

Strongly Preferred

• Experience in mobility, fleet, telematics, IoT, or adjacent industries
• Exposure to leasing or fleet management company ecosystems
• Experience operating across UK and France
• French language proficiency
• Experience in hardware + SaaS technology environments

Profile We’re Looking For

• Builder mindset: comfortable creating structure where none exists
• Commercially sharp: understands incentives, pipeline mechanics, and revenue math
• Comfortable influencing without direct authority
• Operates with high ownership and accountability
• Able to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution

This role in 3 words: Impactful, Exciting, Challenging

Where you’ll work:

Depending on the needs of your business area, we expect hub based people to be in the office at least once a week, and to go to OVO Connection events in-person. 

You’ll be assigned to the closest one of our three hub offices, Bristol, Glasgow, or London; unless your role requires field-based work. Each hub has accessible spaces to park your laptop, is designed to inspire people, help them connect and bring big ideas to life.

Everyone belongs at OVO:

At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That's why we need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

Teamworking for the planet:

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how:

We’ve made good progress on the UK’s path to net zero. But we can do better. Research shows that 100% renewable energy tariffs aren't actually making the grid greener. We have to go further. We need to save energy, use power at smarter times of the day and look at other ways to help our customers reduce their carbon footprint.

That’s where OVO Drive comes in, it's our dedicated electric vehicle business. We already provide hardware installations, home & public charging but we want so much more, we want to build a single app experience that covers everything an EV driver could need. This role will play a huge part in that.

We work like a start up- using our entrepreneurial, OVO Way spirit to drive us forward. And we’ll be flexible about how we do it - trying new things, growing the ones that work and learning new, green skills as we go.

This role in a nutshell:

Sitting in the OVO Drive department this role will support the development of the native OVO Charge mobile app. This is the department’s flagship product, which opens up the public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure for EV drivers across Europe and provides OVO Energy customers a simple interface to manage their Home Charging at a discounted rate.

• Business alignment: Understand how your work contributes to business goals.
• Join the community: Proactively engage with your peers to contribute to the community within the team and the wider business.

You’ll be successful in this role if you…

• Technical Expertise: Considerable experience in Native Mobile Software Engineering, with a track record of contributing to engineering teams. Professional experience with Swift for iOS mobile app development.
• Ways of working: Have experience in an agile environment working with a rapidly evolving product
• Product Engineering: Are passionate about product and user experience – customers are at the heart of everything you do! Strong commercial thinking is a plus!
• Impact: You’ll have a strong desire to have impact and taking ownership early on

Let’s talk about what’s in it for you:

We’ll pay you between £40,000 - £54,000, depending on your specific skills and experience.

We keep our pay ranges broad on purpose to give us, and you, flexibility to match your experience to our zero carbon mission.

You’ll be eligible for an on-target bonus of 15%. We have one OVO bonus plan that focuses on the collective performance of our people to deliver our Plan Zero goal. 

We also offer plenty of green benefits and progressive policies to help you feel like you belong at OVO…and there’s flex pay. We'll give you 9% Flex Pay on top of your salary – 4% of this is auto enrolled into your pension, and the remaining 5% is yours to do what you like with. You can use this to buy from our extensive range of flexible benefits, including our green benefits which we've put at the heart of our offering, add to your pension or even take it as cash.

Here’s a taster of what’s on offer: 

For starters, you’ll get 34 days of holiday (including bank holidays).

For your health
With benefits like a healthcare cash plan or private medical insurance depending on your career level, critical illness cover, life assurance, health assessments, and more

For your wellbeing
With gym membership, travel insurance, workplace ISA, will writing services, dental insurance, and more

For your lifestyle
With extra holiday buying, discount dining, home & tech loans, and supporting your favourite charities with give-as-you-earn donations

Nab a great deal on ultra-low emission car leasing, plus our cycle to work scheme and public transport season ticket loans

Want to hear about our full range of flexible benefits and progressive people policies? Our People Team can tell you everything you need to know.

For your Belonging

To find better ways to support our people, we need to listen to each other’s experiences and find ways to build a truly inclusive and diverse workplace. As part of this, we have 8 Belonging Networks at OVO. Led by our people, for our people - so when you join OVO, you can play a part - big or small - with any of the Networks. It's up to you.

Data Center Transaction Principal, Europe

About the role

As a Transaction Principal for Europe at Anthropic, you'll drive the commercial sourcing and transaction execution process for our European data center capacity deals. You'll lead RFP processes, negotiate term sheets, and serve as the central leader ensuring seamless stakeholder alignment from initial sourcing through lease execution.

This role is critical to securing the infrastructure that powers Anthropic's frontier AI systems across Europe — you'll bridge commercial negotiations with complex internal coordination across legal, finance, engineering, and network teams, and partner closely with our Compute Markets team who own the Europe market strategy and government relationships. This is not an established leasing org; you'll be building process alongside execution, and doing so across multiple countries with distinct regulatory, power, and development dynamics.

Responsibilities

• Lead the RFP and commercial sourcing process for European data center deals, managing developer outreach, proposal evaluation, and competitive selection across multiple markets

• Negotiate term sheets and manage the LOI process, structuring commercial terms that meet Anthropic's technical and business requirements while maintaining strong developer partnerships

• Create the bridge from LOI to executed transaction, ensuring all commercial, technical, and legal requirements are satisfied for deal closure

• Serve as project manager for cross-functional stakeholder engagement — coordinating due diligence teams, internal and external legal counsel, network organization, platform engineers, and finance to ensure alignment prior to lease execution

• Act as the single point of contact for auxiliary organizations including networks, deployments, and government relations, providing regular updates on transaction progress and leasing status

• Develop and maintain transaction timelines, tracking critical-path items and proactively identifying risks that could impact deal closure

• Ensure all stakeholder requirements are captured and addressed in commercial agreements, translating technical and operational needs into contractual terms

• Manage complex digital infrastructure development activities to a construction-ready state, through a developer or directly

• Marry the right projects, capital stacks, and developers at the right stages

• Navigate country-specific permitting, grid connection, and regulatory requirements that vary significantly across European markets

• Document and refine transaction processes and playbooks to enable scalable deal execution as Anthropic expands its infrastructure footprint across the region

• Partner with the Compute Markets Manager to prioritize markets, sites, and counterparties, and feed deal learnings back into Europe market strategy

You may be a good fit if you

• Have 10+ years of experience in transaction management, commercial real estate, data center leasing, or infrastructure procurement

• Possess a proven track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder transactions from sourcing through execution

• Have strong negotiation skills with experience structuring term sheets, LOIs, and commercial agreements

• Excel at project management and can coordinate across legal, technical, finance, and operational teams simultaneously

• Have experience with RFP processes and competitive sourcing for large-scale infrastructure or real estate transactions

• Have experience working in or across European markets, with knowledge of the regional data center and development landscape — including established FLAP-D hubs and emerging markets like the Nordics and Southern Europe

• Are comfortable operating across multiple countries with different legal frameworks, languages, and business cultures

• Are highly organized with strong attention to detail while maintaining focus on strategic deal objectives

• Can operate effectively in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where processes are being built alongside execution

• Demonstrate exceptional communication skills and can coordinate effectively across time zones with US-based HQ teams and distributed European partners

It's a bonus if you

• Have experience with data center or hyperscale infrastructure transactions specifically

• Come from the development side of the industry rather than traditional brokerage/leasing — you understand how DC development works and how value is created (yield-on-cost, cap rates, development fees)

• Understand technical requirements for AI/ML workloads including power density, cooling, and network connectivity

• Have worked with legal teams on complex lease negotiations or infrastructure agreements across multiple European jurisdictions

• Understand utility coordination, power procurement, or energy considerations in data center transactions, particularly in the European context (fragmented national power markets, grid connection queues, renewable PPAs, sustainability and efficiency regulations)

• Have familiarity with data sovereignty and regulatory considerations that influence European site selection

• Have relationships within the European data center developer, operator, and broker ecosystem

• Have a background in corporate development, strategic partnerships, or infrastructure investment

• Have experience in high-growth technology companies managing infrastructure expansion

You will be responsible for ensuring that digital initiatives delivered by the Technology & Digital Services (TDS) team land successfully with end users, driving adoption, minimising disruption, and maximising the return on our technology investments. Working closely with a network of business-side change agents, including our Communications & Branding team, you will align internal communications, readiness activities, and training to support the rollout of our growing portfolio of digital products and platforms. 

This role requires someone who can build from the ground up establishing the change management standards, tools, and frameworks that will underpin TDS delivery for years to come – while simultaneously managing an in-flight portfolio of initiatives from day one.

• Assess the change impact and organisational readiness for each initiative, tailoring the approach to the scale, risk, and complexity of each rollout.

Change Advisory Board (CAB)

• Ensure that change requests are assessed consistently, with appropriate stakeholder representation and clear decision-making on approval, deferral, or rejection. 

• Coach both change agents and product managers on the CAB process, building understanding and confidence in how to prepare, present, and respond to change requests effectively. 

• Continuously improve the CAB process to keep pace with the volume and complexity of digital change across the organisation. 

Digital Initiative Delivery 

• Partner with Product Managers and the PMO to embed change management activities into the agile delivery lifecycle from inception through to post-launch adoption. 

• Develop and execute change plans for concurrent digital rollouts, managing competing priorities and timelines across the TDS portfolio. 

• Track adoption and benefits realisation against agreed metrics, providing clear and regular reporting to senior stakeholders in line with the organisation's benefits realisation framework. 

• Lead post-implementation reviews to capture lessons learned and continuously improve the change approach. 

Change Agent Network 

• Identify, engage, and develop a network of change agents across the business to act as champions for digital initiatives within their teams. 

• Coach change agents on change management principles and practice, equipping them with the tools, messaging, and confidence they need to drive adoption locally. 

• Maintain strong, trust-based relationships with change agents, acting as their primary point of contact and escalation route throughout each rollout. 

Stakeholder Engagement & Internal Communications 

• Map and manage stakeholder groups across each initiative, developing targeted engagement strategies based on impact and influence. 

• Work in partnership with the Communications & Branding team to develop and coordinate internal communications, ensuring messaging is aligned to the Group’s strategic narrative, fully on-brand, clear, timely, and tailored to the audience, in line with established communications governance and approval processes. 

• All internal communications will be developed in partnership with the Communications & Branding team, who retain ownership of tone of voice, messaging standards, brand alignment, and channel governance. 

• Facilitate workshops, roadshows, and briefing sessions to build awareness and desire for change across affected teams. 

• Provide coaching and support to senior leaders to help them fulfil their role as visible and effective change sponsors, establishing clear expectations and accountability for active leadership throughout each initiative lifecycle. 

Training & Enablement 

• Identify training needs arising from digital rollouts and coordinate the development and delivery of appropriate learning interventions. 

• Ensure end users are fully equipped to adopt new tools, processes, and ways of working before go-live. 

• Develop self-service enablement resources to support ongoing adoption beyond the initial rollout period. 

Risk & Resistance Management 

• Proactively identify resistance to change and develop targeted mitigation strategies to address it. 

• Escalate material change risks to the Head of Product & PMO and relevant project sponsors, with recommended actions. 

• Monitor adoption and usage data post-launch, identifying areas where additional support or intervention is needed. 

SKILLS & COMPETENCIES

• Strong understanding of how technology and digital change affects people, processes, and culture  and what it takes to make adoption stick.
