Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I lead a programme to deliver a new system to support our mortgage journeys, that will enable customers and colleagues to apply for a mortgage through multiple brands.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The programme is good and I am learning a lot but it is a significant undertake alongside a busy job and home life, so striking the balance is a challenge.
