About Us

At ANZ, we're shaping a world where people and communities thrive, driven by a common goal: to improve the financial wellbeing and sustainability of our millions of customers.

About the Role

The Program Implementation Lead is responsible for defining and managing the critical path and key deliverables across FY26 and FY27, specifically relating to the completion and implementation of End-to-End Customer Journeys and associated elements (including risk management, risk profiles, and quality control aligned to new standards). This is to ensure closure criteria are met and activities are aligned with other interrelated workstreams.

While delivery accountability sits within the divisions, this role is critical to maintaining an integrated plan across the organisation. This includes managing key dependencies, designing the overall approach, establishing standardised reporting, and ensuring timely issue resolution. Early identification of risks and proactive intervention will be key to ensuring milestones are achieved.

  Identify, manage, and actively resolve cross-division dependencies, interlocks, and sequencing issues to minimise delivery risk and ensure coordinated execution.
• Risk & Issue Management
  Proactively identify delivery risks, issues, and emerging constraints; assess impacts; and drive timely mitigation actions in collaboration with divisional owners.
• Delivery Assurance & Standards Alignment
  Provide delivery assurance by monitoring progress against agreed standards, quality measures, and closure criteria, escalating variances where required.
• Reporting & Governance
  Design and implement standardised reporting frameworks to provide clear, consistent, and timely insights on progress, risks, dependencies, and key decisions for senior stakeholders and governance forums.
• Stakeholder & Divisional Engagement
  Partner closely with delivery leads, ensuring clarity of accountabilities while supporting alignment to the integrated plan and overall delivery approach.
• Issue Escalation & Resolution
  Facilitate effective issue resolution by coordinating cross-functional discussions, recommending options, and escalating matters through appropriate governance channels when required.
