We are working with an ambitious product company transforming how a well-established British industry operates. Their digital platform streamlines administration, adapts quickly to change and puts customers first.
With launch approaching, they're seeking a Delivery Director to guide this pivotal phase, pulling the programme's strands together, making sharp calls on priorities and taking the product over the line. Far more than a coordination role, you'll remove blockers, partner with the board on key decisions, build trust with customers and stakeholders, and raise the bar on release quality.
What Is In It For You:
- Salary up to £100,000
- Hybrid working in Buckinghamshire office (2 days in, 3 remote)
- 28 days' holiday, plus bank holidays on top
- Private healthcare
- Company pension
- Life assurance
The Role:
- Lead a compact, high-performing team, partnering closely with Engineering, Product and operational colleagues
- Take full ownership of delivery, launching on schedule, protecting quality and satisfying both investor and industry expectations
- Serve as the principal link between the company and its shareholders, maintaining strong relationships at senior level
- Manage budgets across the business, with backing from shareholder finance leaders
- Drive clients to take ownership of the programme's benefits through well-judged operating model choices
- Build solid governance in partnership with the board and launch readiness function, spotting, tracking and resolving risks across every workstream
- Influence how the platform is released, run and assured as the organisation grows
To Be Considered:
- Vast delivery experience in digital transformation, with proven success leading change from start to finish
- Deep expertise in product release management
- Confident across recognised delivery frameworks, Agile, Waterfall or Hybrid
- Certifications such as MSP, PRINCE2, APMQ or Agile Scrum Master
- First-rate leadership, negotiation and communication skills, comfortable securing buy-in from senior decision-makers in complex organisations
- Knowledge of Service Design principles and Azure/Dynamics a strong plus
- Must have full right to work in the UK
