We're hiring for a Mobilisation Lead (Senior Technical BA with a twist!) to play an integral part in major and complex business and technology transformation programmes within the Digital & Data organisation. This role will work across multiple delivery portfolios to align technical solutions with business needs, collaborating with multi-functional teams and stakeholders, including executives, to support strategic business plans.

Responsibilities include progressing new delivery demands, contributing to business case models, and creating high-level impact assessments with partners and suppliers. The role also involves matrix management mainly across Business Solution Architects and Business Analysts and leading on mobilisation activities such as business relationship management, capex and opex planning, and business priority management.

Working closely with Subdomain Owners and Architecture teams, you'll lead multiple demand proposals and introduce new solutions into the delivery portfolio, ensuring alignment with the End State Architecture and technical strategies. You'll establish effective delivery approach, negotiate with vendors, and provide strategic feedback into portfolio investment strategies. The role requires shaping and defining structures for high-complexity deliveries, resolving complex requirements-related issues, and ensuring adherence to established architecture and governance guidelines.

Additionally, the Mobilisation Lead translates technical solutions into business-friendly language and validates high-level technical solutions against key business requirements.
