Digital and Data Delivery Manager — £650 per day — Inside IR35
Central government · Birmingham, one fixed day a week · initial six months
A UK central government programme needs an experienced delivery manager to coordinate across its digital and data workstreams as it prepares to stand up a new hub.
One thing to be clear about, because the distinction matters here more than usual. This is not a delivery support role. You own the delivery products, and just as importantly you coordinate and chase the people, the counterparties and the third parties the work depends on. Nobody will be handing you a plan to administer.
What you will do
- Coordinate across the digital and data workstreams, holding the picture of what is in flight, what is blocked and what is at risk
- Own the delivery products, starting with a charter that sets out the scope
- Confirm the key programme milestones with the central PMO and align the plan to them
- Integrate with the existing programme PMO, its plan and its design decision board rather than running anything parallel
- Own the design and set-up of the data governance workshops
- Manage multiple moving parts across internal stakeholders and third parties, and chase the ones that go quiet
- Project manage a second, more conventional workstream delivering several hundred common reports
What you need
- SC clearance, or the ability to obtain it
- At least one engagement of six months or longer inside a UK central government department, arm's length body or devolved administration
- A track record as a delivery manager who owns the products, not one who supports somebody else's
- Agile delivery experience across multiple concurrent workstreams
- Real experience managing third parties and suppliers, not just internal teams
- The drive to chase a counterparty who has gone quiet, without waiting to be asked
Preferred, not essential
- Experience delivering on an Oracle programme. This is not a hands‑on Oracle role — SAP or another large systems programme works just as well
- Data governance, MI or reporting delivery experience
- Shared services or cross-government programme experience
The package
- Inside IR35
- Roughly two days a week on client site. Wednesday in Birmingham is fixed, the rest is flexible
- SC clearance, or the ability to obtain it
