About the role
Our Zellis business is at the start of a refreshed 5 Year Plan, which sets out to double our revenue and EBITDAC. In order to deliver on this plan, we have some ambitious initiatives to strengthen our capability and, in turn, strengthen our market position.
A significant amount of the transformational activity that underpins our 5 Year Plan begins in our Product and Technology (P&T) function. P&T covers a wide range of products and technology investments of the company. P&T plans, builds, deploys, operates and monitors the company’s portfolio of software applications, whether they are on-premise or in the cloud. It also owns the internal IT of the business, whether it’s the infrastructure supporting the SaaS services, or the internal IT that colleagues do their daily work on. P&T is also responsible for the overall business security, business continuity and disaster recovery.
Reporting to the Director of Transformation, this role will be responsible for:
* Managing key projects or programmes for Zellis led out of the P&T business unit, which may include major new product launches, significant changes to existing products or business processes, or major network/infrastructure changes with cross-functional impacts.
* Defining key delivery success measures and associated KPIs, and reporting status against these to drive the right business interventions and outcomes. This will require engaging key stakeholders across the business, gathering requirements, and building and embedding this into the business unit's ways of working.
* Supporting the Director of Transformation in the collation and management of the Zellis 5 Year Plan (5YRP), including developing success measures and leading the planning of key programmes. This role will manage risks, issues, and dependencies, and prepare and manage key stakeholder forums such as the priority projects steerco.
This role will ideally work on a hybrid basis (2 days per week) from our Peterborough, Bristol, or Birmingham office.
