Platform Delivery Programme Manager

About the Role

As a Platform Delivery Program Manager, you will be the operational backbone of the Product Program in India, reporting to the Program Manager. You will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth running of program governance, reporting and agile ceremonies.

Day-to-day, you’ll be working closely with the Product Managers, Business Analysts, Tech Leads and Developers, to document risks, track progress, and keep delivery visible.

Success means programmes run smoothly, platform risks are actively managed, operational issues are resolved quickly, and platform transition activities are executed successfully.
