As a Senior Delivery Manager, you will direct the delivery of large, complex, and high-risk digital initiatives or programmes, often spanning multiple teams, suppliers, and organisational boundaries. You will provide leadership across delivery, governance, financial control, and stakeholder engagement, ensuring outcomes are delivered at pace while managing significant complexity.

You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, shaping delivery approaches, providing assurance, and influencing senior stakeholders to resolve systemic challenges. You will be accountable for delivery performance at programme level, including managing interdependencies, escalating risks, and ensuring alignment with organisational strategy.

In this role, you are expected to act as a senior delivery authority, mentoring other delivery managers and contributing to the continuous improvement of delivery capability across the organisation. There is a requirement to be onsite in our central Leeds office 1 to 2 times a week. This can be discussed with your manager for full flexibility and can be restructured to best suit your needs, as well as some travel to client site (specific to client needs and requirements).

These are some of the skills we are looking for in candidates. Don’t worry about having a full house, we will still be interested in a chat!
