Contract | Outside IR35 | £500-550 per day | Central London (Hybrid)

Our client is embarking on a major global digital transformation and is seeking an experienced Programme Manager / Senior Delivery Manager to lead one of its most strategic technology initiatives.

This role will take ownership of a large-scale website transformation programme, beginning with the UK platform before rolling out across approximately 50 international country sites. The successful contractor will be responsible for driving delivery across multiple workstreams, coordinating cross-functional teams, and ensuring the programme delivers tangible business outcomes.

The Opportunity

This is far more than a traditional project management role.

We're looking for someone who can take full ownership of programme delivery, working hands-on across product, technology, content and business teams. You'll be expected to lead from the front, identify gaps, solve problems, align stakeholders and keep momentum high across a complex digital ecosystem.

Key programme components include:

• Delivery of a new Next.js front-end platform
• Transition of legacy property search capabilities to a microservices architecture
• Introduction of a new design system
• Migration to a headless CMS environment (Directus, Payload or similar)
• Content migration and creation of new templates and components
• Improvement of global property data feeds and visibility
• Property listing enrichment capabilities
• AI-driven enhancements across development and property search functionality
• International rollout across approximately 50 websites

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading the end-to-end delivery of a global digital transformation programme
• Managing multiple concurrent workstreams across product, design, engineering, content and data
• Driving agile delivery across several teams and complex dependencies
• Working closely with senior stakeholders to shape priorities and delivery plans
• Leading backlog refinement, epic definition, story development and delivery planning
• Translating business requirements into practical, coordinated technical outcomes
• Identifying and resolving delivery risks and blockers before they impact progress
• Supporting teams wherever required, whether that's testing, requirements clarification, content delivery or sprint planning

Essential Experience

• Proven experience leading large-scale website transformation, digital platform or CMS migration programmes
• Strong agile delivery leadership across multiple teams, products and workstreams
• Experience working with product owners and engineering leads to shape delivery outcomes
• Deep understanding of backlog management, epics, user stories and agile planning techniques
• Ability to break complex programmes into achievable delivery increments
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
• A pragmatic, outcome-focused approach to delivery
