Product Transformation Delivery Manager - the role


We are recruiting a Product Transformation Delivery Manager to play a pivotal role in delivering ExCo’s transformation priorities. This role is central to turning strategic intent into tangible outcomes — taking high-level priorities and shaping them into clear, actionable programmes of work that deliver measurable value.

Working to the Product Strategy and Transformation Delivery Lead, you will bridge the gap between strategy, product thinking and delivery execution. We are looking for someone who brings strong analytical and problem-solving skills, is comfortable working with ambiguity, and can translate insight into well-designed solutions that work in practice.

This is a role for a strategic thinker who thrives on making change real, embedding new ways of working, and ensuring that transformation is adopted and sustained across the organisation. You will be required to communicate and build strong relationships with a range of stakeholders across the organisation and external networks and be able to influence key decision makers.

As a Product Transformation Delivery Manager, you will support our pathfinders and product transformation, and ensure that new processes, tools and services become part of business-as-usual. You will lead multidisciplinary teams, influence senior leaders, collaborate with frontline colleagues, and champion user-centred, data-driven decision-making.

These roles are not part of the GDD Product or Delivery Profession structure. They are transformation-focussed roles within SS&T, designed to support pathfinders and the PoM work across Service Transformation Group
