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

• 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
