About the Role
This role leads Product Group's approach to third-party governance, ensuring strong, strategic relationships with the suppliers who help deliver the BBC's digital products. You will establish governance, performance measures, standards and ways of working that enable Product Group to maximise value from its suppliers while making it straightforward for Engineering and Product teams to engage with them effectively. By providing trusted insight into supplier performance, risk and dependencies, you will enable better decisions, drive continuous improvement and create a supplier experience that is both well governed and easy to use.

You'll be part of a team that sits at the intersection between strategy and execution, turning organisational priorities into practical ways of working that help Product Group get the best from its strategic suppliers. Working across Engineering, Product, Strategy, Finance, Procurement and Legal, you will influence how supplier performance is measured, risks are managed and value is realised. This role offers the opportunity to shape a growing capability, establish new ways of working and make a lasting impact on how Product Group works with external partners.

- Leading high-performing teams in complex, fast-moving environments
- Managing suppliers, operational services or technology partnerships
- Designing and embedding governance, standards or performance measures
- Working with technology, digital or engineering suppliers
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to solve complex, ambiguous problems
- Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills across multiple teams and seniority levels
- Turning data and insight into practical improvements that deliver measurable outcomes

About you
- Comfortable operating in agile environments, balancing strategic thinking with hands-on delivery
- Experience working in fast-paced, technology-driven organisations where priorities evolve quickly and ambiguity is the norm
- Ability to shape governance or operating models across multiple teams or business areas
- Knowledge of procurement, commercial management or supplier contracts is desirable
- Experience building lightweight governance that enables delivery rather than slows it down
- Experience working in large-scale digital, technology or product-led organisations is advantageous
