You’ll lead the delivery of a high‑impact global audiology technology portfolio that underpins how Specsavers transforms sight and hearing care around the world. Working across regions and time zones, you’ll shape and drive initiatives like the Global Patient Management System—bringing together complex programmes, joining the dots across dependencies and ensuring every delivery creates real value for customers and the business.

As a Portfolio Delivery Manager for Audiology, you’ll operate with a high level of autonomy—overseeing multiple complex projects, products and teams, while ensuring alignment to strategic goals. You’ll drive governance, manage budgets and resources, and monitor performance across the portfolio, using data and KPIs to continuously improve delivery outcomes. Acting as a senior escalation point and trusted advisor, you’ll influence decisions, guide delivery approaches, and ensure risks, issues and changes are effectively managed.

We’re looking for someone with excellent senior project or portfolio delivery experience (5+ years at a senior level), with a proven ability to lead in complex, fast-paced technology environments. You’ll bring deep expertise in delivery methodologies such as Agile, Scrum, Kanban or Waterfall, alongside a solid understanding of enterprise technology landscapes, cloud and emerging technologies. You’ll be a credible leader and expert communicator, confident influencing senior stakeholders, managing vendors, and leading globally distributed, cross-functional teams to successful outcomes.

If you think strategically, lead with impact and thrive in complexity, you’ll fit right in. This role calls for strong problem-solving, emotional intelligence and the ability to challenge the status quo, while fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement. In return, you’ll have the opportunity to shape global delivery practices, mentor others and drive meaningful transformation—playing a key role in delivering technology that changes lives.
