Are you an experienced Delivery Manager looking to lead high-impact platform delivery for a major technology and engineering organisation?

The Role

As Delivery Manager, you'll report into a Portfolio Manager and take responsibility for the successful delivery of projects and workstreams within a platforms team. You'll plan, mobilise, manage and control delivery in line with client expectations, contractual obligations and quality standards, leading project teams, coordinating stakeholders, and keeping delivery on track from mobilisation through to completion.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives on managing competing priorities, evaluating risk, and driving corrective action to protect delivery performance, while also mentoring and developing less experienced colleagues.

What You'll Be Doing

Coordinate project teams and resources, ensuring roles, priorities and dependencies are clearly understood
Monitor progress, manage risks/issues/dependencies/change control, and take corrective action to protect delivery
Own project reporting, documentation, forecasts, dashboards and governance packs
Build and maintain strong relationships with customers, suppliers, subcontractors and internal stakeholders
Lead project meetings, reviews and governance forums, capturing and progressing actions and escalations
Ensure delivery activity complies with organisational standards and ways of working
Support mobilisation and continuous improvement, sharing delivery expertise and lessons learned
Provide day-to-day direction and support to project teams and junior staff

What We're Looking For

Essential:

Solid working knowledge of project management principles, governance, lifecycle models, planning, budgeting, risk/issue management, change control, reporting and quality
Proven experience leading infrastructure and/or platform deliveries, with accountability for time, cost, scope and quality
Strong planning, organisational and stakeholder management skills
Confident written and verbal communicator, able to tailor messaging across audiences
Highly competent in Microsoft Office, JIRA and Confluence
Experience working within a governed, quality-driven or highly technical delivery environment

Desirable:

Practitioner-level qualification: APM PMQ, PRINCE2 Practitioner, AgilePM Practitioner, or equivalent
Membership of a recognised professional body (e.g. APM) or evidence of ongoing CPD in project delivery

Why Apply

This role offers the chance to lead meaningful delivery within a large-scale, technically complex environment, with genuine scope to shape governance, ways of working and delivery capability — plus support for your own professional development along the way.
