About the role
As a Delivery Lead at Infinite Lambda, you'll hold accountability for the successful delivery of multi-workstream programmes for our most important clients. You will own the entire programme lifecycle — from commercial handover through to closure — coordinating multiple projects, teams, and delivery streams into a single coherent outcome. You will be a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders, including C-level executives, and the person our clients and our own leadership turn to when a programme hits a serious issue and needs a steady, credible hand to resolve it.
You are a critical partner in our client relationships, working closely with Account Managers to protect and grow long-term accounts, and with Executive Sponsors to keep governance sharp and escalations resolved quickly. Beyond delivery, you're expected to translate ambiguous, high-level business strategy into structured requirements and a deliverable roadmap — bringing the same rigour to business analysis as you do to programme governance.
Responsibilities
-
Own end-to-end delivery of multi-workstream programmes spanning multiple projects, vendors, and delivery teams, using Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid approaches tailored to each client and phase.
-
Hold ultimate accountability for programme scope and benefits realisation across the full programme lifecycle.
-
Act as the escalation point for serious programme issues: recover programmes that are off-track, re-baseline commercials and timelines where needed, and manage the client conversations that come with it.
-
Design and enforce programme-level governance models, RAID processes, and reporting standards, ensuring predictable, high-quality execution is visible at every level from delivery team to executive sponsor.
-
Facilitate steering committees, delivering clear, credible updates and recommendations to C-level stakeholders on both the client and Infinite Lambda side.
-
Build and hold relationships with senior client stakeholders and executive sponsors, acting as a trusted voice in high-stakes conversations, difficult trade-offs, and commercial negotiations.
-
Lead business analysis at a programme level: gather and structure high-level business requirements and strategic objectives, and translate them into a coherent programme roadmap, benefits case, and workstream breakdown.
-
Identify and manage cross-workstream dependencies, escalating and closing them out before they threaten delivery.
-
Constructively challenge technical and commercial assumptions across workstreams, guiding recovery plans and trade-off decisions between engineering quality, cost, and delivery speed at a programme level.
