It involves coordinating efforts within Digital Engagement, Consumer Engagement, and the Group, inspiring change teams (Platforms) and uniting them towards a common goal to foster a customer-centric culture.

This role offers a unique chance to shape the strategic direction across our channels. You'll play a key role in developing the strategy to establish our app as the UK's top banking app. Working closely with the Digital Engagement Director and Leadership team, you'll co-create and implement this strategy across the Group, integrating channels within Consumer Engagement into one cohesive vision.

Additionally, you'll need to tackle critical challenges, demonstrating agility in adapting to new priorities as needed.

Day to day responsibilities include:

• Develop and oversee the execution of the Consumer Engagement Transformation roadmap, ensuring all initiatives align with our goal of becoming the UK's Most Recommended banking app. Whether creating a unified view of the 15 change teams that release into our app or devising the strategic roadmap for consumer engagement, you're responsible for ensuring all initiatives support our strategic vision!

• Data-Driven and Commercially Focused - You use data and insight to join the dots-spotting patterns, surfacing opportunities, and driving decisions that unlock measurable value. You're focused on outcomes, whether it's improving engagement, increasing efficiency, or delivering stronger returns on digital investment.

• Change Leadership with a Test-and-Learn Mentality You thrive in complex, changing environments and have led large-scale digital transformations from within. You champion modern delivery practices, foster a culture of experimentation, and are comfortable testing, building, and evolving digital propositions in collaboration with tech and design teams.

• Influencing and Storytelling at Scale You're a phenomenal collaborator who brings teams together behind a common digital vision. Your ability to communicate clearly and persuasively helps create alignment across senior collaborators, technical teams, and customer functions alike.
