At Bupa, we're here to help people live longer, healthier, happier lives – and make a better world. With no shareholders, our customers are at the heart of everything we do. That means we invest in what matters most: our people, our technology, and our purpose.

As an Agile Project Manager in our People ERP and Payroll domain, you'll play a key role in driving change and continuous improvement across our global People and Finance functions. You'll help deliver smarter, more efficient systems that support our colleagues and customers – from onboarding and development to wellbeing and inclusion. If you're passionate about agile delivery and want to make a real impact, this is your chance to help shape the future of health at Bupa.

How you'll help us make health happen

As our Agile Project Manager, you'll:

• Lead the delivery of change initiatives from start to finish – including new product rollouts, feature enhancements and ongoing improvements.

• Manage multiple backlogs and define sprint objectives in collaboration with Product Owners and Technical Delivery Managers.

• Facilitate Agile ceremonies and ensure frameworks like Scrum and Kanban run smoothly.

• Unblock issues that slow down delivery and drive continuous improvement using data and metrics.

• Partner with internal teams, vendors and stakeholders to align delivery with business outcomes.

• Maintain project plans, resource forecasts and financial oversight where needed.

• Champion a risk-based approach to delivery and escalate issues appropriately.

• Support automation, data and analytics initiatives that enhance our People systems.

What you'll bring

• Strong experience in technical project management roles.

• Strong knowledge of Agile, Scrum, Kanban and hybrid delivery methodologies.

• Experience delivering change in back-office functions such as People, Pay & Reward, Learning & Development, and Diversity & Inclusion.

• A track record of managing complex projects or multiple small initiatives simultaneously.

• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.

• A collaborative mindset with the ability to influence at all levels.

• Resilience, empathy and a results-driven approach.

• Commercial acumen and effective vendor management experience.
