7 months ago


Coventry, United Kingdom Coventry Building Society Full time

About the roleAre you creative? Restlessly curious? Do you love to try new things and want to help the Society take a different approach? Well we’re about to launch our Innovation lab, and it could be just your thing.

We’re looking for an Innovation Test and Learn Lead. It’s a new role, and will play a key part in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship function.

**Why are we here?**
Our team will innovate to create sustainable, scalable, long term ‘new growth opportunities’ for the Society. We want to enhance value for members/customers, employees and partners. And we’re also excited to build the Society’s long-term innovation capability.

**What will you do?**
You’ll lead on testing and implementing our innovation initiatives.

You’ll learn from testing and help us launch things once they’re in good shape. You’ll make sure we assess, prioritise, have enough resource, and get initiatives out to market so that we can see the outcomes we’re looking for come to life. Not only will you manage and maintain the work backlog, our cost management and our Board reporting, you’ll actually own our innovation delivery roadmap and support us to turn our ideas into reality. It’s a great role

**Who will you work with?**
You’ll work closely with our teams in the Chief Information and Digital Office and according to our change structures at the Society. And you’ll provide leadership and support to others who are working on delivering initiatives outside of the function such as SPV.

- About you**Who are we looking for?**

Someone with experience of implementing new systems and processes and for championing wide reaching organisational change, who is passionate about innovation as a core business capability. Someone who can make priority decisions, pro-actively manage changes through to implementation, engaging effectively with multiple stakeholders whilst maintaining focus on key outcomes.

The ability to engage and energise multiple stakeholders and delivery teams is essential, as is the ability to present information in a clear and concise manner to executive and senior management.

You’ll have some experience of working within a design and delivery role across product, service, process or strategy/strategic innovation function or as a business architect/training and development role. You will have experience of designing new processes and practices and understand what capability is required for us to become more innovative as an organisation.

Your understanding of change methodologies and practices is key, as is your experience of the financial services industry. And as with any role at the Coventry, you’ll have a strong focus on delivering good customer outcomes.

Finally, but equally important, you need to be a brilliant line manager - role modelling first-class delivery - and a valued team member.
