*Hybrid

We believe that through collaboration and connection with our colleagues we can achieve great things. Our hybrid working approach allows our people to work both in the office and at home, providing the flexibility and resources you need to succeed in your role. We don't require you to be in on specific days; instead, we ask people to come into the office 2-3 days each week, for at least 8 days per month. You should work with your line manager to understand what their expectations are for you, your specific role and your team.

You’ll join a team that genuinely cares – about each other, about our customers, and about the future we’re building. From day one, you’ll be welcomed, valued and encouraged to bring your whole self to work.

What you’ll do

The Channel Readiness Specialist plays a key role in helping new products, services, processes and regulatory changes land successfully across Retail, Call Centre and Indirect channels.

You’ll also work closely with teams across the business to support smooth, high quality launches.

• Coordinate readiness activity for assigned change within a defined product or operational area, ensuring Assisted and Indirect channels are ready for launch.

• Support the creation of readiness materials such as guides, knowledge articles, process flows and channel specific briefing content.
• Identify potential risks, channel impacts or operational blockers early, escalating them with clear mitigation options.
• Work closely with cross functional teams including GTM, Product, CVM, Ops and Tech to ensure channel needs are understood and built into design and delivery.
• Collaborate with Channel Comms and Enablement teams to ensure communications and learning content are timely, accurate and aligned to readiness requirements.
• Engage with Retail field teams, Indirect partners and Call Centre groups to validate real world impact and gather insight to improve launch quality.
• Support launch governance through clear documentation, version control and tracking of readiness milestones.
• Monitor how change lands post launch, flagging issues, pulling together feedback and supporting continuous improvement.
• Contribute to a culture of collaboration, clarity and operational excellence within the readiness team.
