We have a brilliant (and urgent) opportunity for a high-impact Delivery Manager at the centre of a major digital technology transformation programme.

What's the role?

Working closely with the CTO, you'll lead the delivery of a diverse portfolio of transformation initiatives, including platform implementations, data migrations, legacy system decommissioning, cloud and infrastructure transitions, third-party technology integrations, and platform modernisation projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end delivery of multiple technology transformation initiatives, from discovery and planning through to implementation, cutover, and business adoption.
• Lead cross-functional teams across product, engineering, architecture, infrastructure, data, operations, and business change functions.
• Build and manage delivery plans, milestones, dependencies, RAID logs, governance forums, and executive stakeholder reporting.
• Drive complex platform migration activity, including data migrations, legacy system replacements, platform upgrades, and cloud transformation programmes.
• Lead cutover planning and execution, ensuring minimal disruption to business operations and customers.
• Manage relationships with third-party vendors, implementation partners, and technology suppliers, ensuring accountability and delivery against agreed outcomes.
• Work closely with technical teams to ensure solutions are scalable, secure, compliant, and operationally supportable.
• Facilitate effective decision-making across multiple workstreams, balancing competing priorities and managing delivery risks.
• Champion strong delivery practices, continuous improvement, and effective programme governance.

Person Requirements:

• Proven experience as a Delivery Manager, Programme Manager, or Product Leader delivering complex technology transformation programmes end-to-end.
• Strong track record delivering platform migrations, or enterprise technology modernisation initiatives.
• Experience leading large-scale data migration programmes, system cutovers, and transitions from legacy platforms to modern technology solutions.
• Exposure to cloud transformation programmes, including migrations to Azure-based platforms and cloud-native environments.
• Experience managing third-party suppliers, systems integrators, and external delivery partners.
• Strong understanding of programme governance, risk management, dependency management, and stakeholder engagement.
• Ability to operate effectively across both technical and business teams, translating complex delivery challenges into clear actions and outcomes.
• Experience working within fast-paced environments managing multiple workstreams and complex dependencies.
