Are you an innovation-driven delivery leader who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments? This global bank is looking for an Innovation Delivery Manager to drive high-impact innovation initiatives across emerging technology, digital capability, customer innovation, and strategic change.

You'll lead multiple projects at once ( 6 - 12 at one time), each at different stages of the inoovation life cycle - from discovery through to POC and Pilots

Resposbilities include:

• Lead end-to-end delivery across the innovation life cycle: discovery, exploration, scoping, PoCs and pilots.

• Ensure alignment to the bank's Innovation Operating Model and Delivery Framework.

• Execute multiple short-cycle innovation projects simultaneously, managing rapid pivot points and ambiguity.

• Work closely with innovation teams including Strategy & Insight, Product, Ecosystem & Partnerships, and Innovation Engineering.

• Collaborate with stakeholders across private banking, retail banking, fintech partners, and cross-functional internal teams.

• Support workshops, discovery initiatives, opportunity assessments, challenge framing, and strategic ad hoc projects

• Reinforce governance, risk, and regulatory alignment across innovation initiatives.

Essential:

• Strong experience delivering innovation projects or acting within innovation labs, digital hubs, start-ups/scale-ups, internal consultancy, or fast-paced tech environments.

• Multi-project Agile delivery - comfortable running multiple initiatives at speed.

• A true innovation mindset: curious, energetic, adaptable, and comfortable in ambiguity.

• Excellent stakeholder management - confident influencing senior leaders (Director/MD level).

• Strong literacy in emerging technology (AI, digital platforms, fintech, etc.) and how it can be applied to solve business problems.

• Experience with innovation frameworks or structured experimentation models.

• Discovery facilitation, workshop creation, problem framing.

• Exposure to regulated environments is essential
