We didn't pivot to innovation; it's how we've always operated. What that means for the people who work here is real: genuinely complex problems to solve, the technology and resources to tackle them properly, and the kind of scope that's rare in established businesses.\nThe bar is high - bring a curious and forward-thinking mindset and we'll give you the platform to define what comes next.\nJoin us at IG - the future gets built here.\nYour Team:\nThis role sits within the new Product Operations team, reporting into the Product Operations Lead, and is deployed onto specific high-priority initiatives as and when they arise, working alongside the Product Managers and Engineering Leads of every squad involved. You'll also work closely with the Product Governance Specialist and Product Partnership Manager where an initiative touches governance approval or third-party contracts, and you'll feed initiative-level status into the Product Operations Lead's wider portfolio reporting and forums such as the Product Development Monthly.\nYour role in the Team’s Success:\nThis is a role for someone who thrives on the big, complex, cross-cutting initiatives that don't fit neatly inside a single squad or even a single domain - platform migrations, new product line launches, multi-quarter strategic programmes that touch several product areas at once. As Delivery Lead you will own the end-to-end delivery of these initiatives, orchestrating multiple Product Managers, Engineering Leads, and squads toward a single outcome. This is a role within a product-led organisation where we need people who are focused on outcomes, not just governance and milestones.\nWhat you’ll do:\nCross-squad and cross-domain orchestration\nOwn the end-to-end delivery plan for major initiatives that span multiple squads and/or multiple product domains, sequencing work across teams that don't normally plan together. Support teams to carve deliverables/plans into manageable slices, making sure value can be found in each slice. \nIdentify and actively manage dependencies between squads and domains - the handoffs, shared components, and sequencing constraints that a single squad's Product Manager can't see or resolve alone. \nBring together the right Product Managers, Engineering Leads, and other stakeholders at the right moments, without taking over their squads' day-to-day delivery. Help to foster a psychologically safe working environment where people can raise problems, solve issues and find solutions. \nProgramme-level risk and issue management\nMaintain a single, honest view of risk, issues, and critical-path dependencies across the whole initiative, escalating early and clearly to the Product Operations Lead and senior stakeholders. \nResolve conflicts where squads have competing priorities or constrained shared resources, making trade-offs visible rather than letting them cause silent slippage. \nOwn contingency and mitigation planning for the risks that could derail a multi-team initiative - not just track them on a log. \nStakeholder alignment and communication\nAct as the single point of accountability for \"how is this initiative actually going\" - able to give senior stakeholders, up to and including the Product Development Monthly forum, a clear and credible answer at any point. \nKeep Product Managers, Engineering Leads, and other functions (Compliance, Legal, Data) aligned to a shared plan and timeline, even when their day-to-day priorities pull in different directions. \nTranslate initiative complexity into simple, decision-ready updates for senior leadership. \nTechnical and delivery credibility\nBring a high level of technical fluency to understand system dependencies, integration points, and engineering trade-offs across multiple domains. \nApply sound programme and project management discipline (planning, milestone tracking, RAID management) appropriate to initiatives that are often unprecedented and don't fit a standard template. \nContribution to Product Operations\nFeed lessons learned and delivery best practice back into the Product Operations Lead, helping the wider team get better at running complex, cross-cutting initiatives. \nSupport the Product Operations Lead with ad hoc portfolio-level analysis or reporting when capacity allows between initiatives. \nWhat You'll Need:\nSignificant experience as a Programme Manager, Senior Delivery Manager, or Technical Project Manager, with a track record of delivering initiatives that span multiple teams or workstreams. \nDemonstrable experience managing complex cross-team dependencies and driving them to resolution, not just tracking them. \nStrong stakeholder management skills, including the credibility and gravitas to align Product Managers and Engineering Leads who don't report into you. \nEnough technical understanding to engage credibly with engineering leaders on architecture, sequencing, and trade-offs across multiple systems or domains. \nExcellent communication skills - able to distil a genuinely complex, multi-team initiative into a clear, honest update for senior leadership. \nComfortable with ambiguity - these initiatives often don't have a standard playbook, and you'll need to build the plan as much as follow one. \nOpen to ambiguity - people need a plan, but they we expect you to be dynamic and adaptable when circumstances inevitably change. \nDesirable\nExperience in a regulated financial services or fintech environment. \nDirect experience delivering platform migrations, re-platforming, or major organisational/domain restructuring initiatives. \nProgramme or project management qualifications (e.g. MSP, PMP, Prince2) - useful context, though real-world judgement on ambiguous, high-stakes initiatives matters more. \nDeep experience of agile ways of working, to work effectively with Product Managers and Engineering Leads running their own ceremonies and backlogs. \nThe Perks\nIt really is more than a job. We think like a start-up, but we deliver like a FTSE 100 - so the bar is high, and we won't pretend otherwise. We work hybrid, which means three days in the office. We’ll recognise your talent and make sure that you can still have a life - at work, and outside of it. Networks, committees, awards, sports and social clubs, mentorships, volunteering opportunities, extra time off… the list goes on.\nCompetitive salary\nFlexible Benefits Package on top of your salary (12%)\nPrivate medical cover for you and your family\nLife insurance\nContribution to gym memberships\n25 Days holiday, with 1 additional day off to celebrate your Birthday & 2 additional days off a year for voluntary work (28 in total)\nThe option to buy or sell holiday days\nA comprehensive global and local onboarding process\nEnhanced primary (maternity), secondary (paternity), and shared parental pay and leave, as well as a range of support and benefits for parents\nNumber of openings\n1","description_format":"text","description_chars":7090,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Gym membership","Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Online Brokerage & Trading Platforms","Forex & CFD Brokers"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T18:50:36Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":79,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":0.9,"p_active":0.879,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":14,"reasons":["conf:50","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ig-delivery-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ig-delivery-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T01:53:32Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2814,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":38407},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=38407"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fig-delivery-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fig-delivery-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fig-delivery-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ig-delivery-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fig-delivery-lead"}]}
