Senior Technology Delivery Manager, Hands On Background, Remote

Senior Technology Delivery Manager, Hands On Technical Background, Proven End to End Project Delivery Experience, AI, SDLC, Data, Global, Professional Services, PM Certified, Please read in FULL before applying, Remote Senior Technology Delivery Manager / Senior Digital Project Manager / Senior Software Delivery Project Manager required to work for a Professional Services business based in Central London. However, this is Global role that may require some Global travel (fully expensed) but most of the work can be done from the comfort of your own home. We need someone from a hands-on technical background (ideally development within digital technology products) who is passionate about technology, who understands technology and spends time looking out for what is new in the market. Whether this be gaining new qualifications / certifications or being in touch with modern technology via forums etc. We also need you to have OWNED Projects, with proven end to end Project Delivery experience. This is NOT an Infrastructure related Project Manager role. We need Development Driven / SDLC , SaaS Project Delivery experience. Infrastructure will not cut it for what our client needs here… The role is a hardened, solid Senior Project Management position, but we need this person to almost be lighting up rooms when discussing project delivery with C-Level / Partner Level people within the business. You will also be influencing key vendors with your ideas, talking about modern digital related technology, products, AI, SDLC etc. They want you to think, wow and impress the business…but to also demonstrate leading the way. They really want you to own whatever project you are running with next to zero hand holding along the way (although there will be support of course!) There is a written side to it too, where you will be writing and designing high level, strategic technical documents for the business to digest, prior to the Project executions. There will be several meetings that you will be running with key stakeholders in both the business and technology, where you would have to be confident enough to hold your own, run the meetings and be prepared to be challenged…by sometimes difficult stakeholders on occasions! They want this to be mainly about business outcomes and orientation (via technology). Be passionate about what impact the projects will have on the business and be energetic about articulating what positive impacts these will have on the business. We can look at Digital, Change and Transformation Project / Programme Managers but you must have a technical background. You will preferably come with experience across multiple companies, with some Global involvement and an appreciation of different Global cultures and behaviours when working with a Global remit. Also, as this has global coverage, there may be some early / late calls. You must be prepared for this. There will be give and take with times, along with some flexibility if things are becoming quite taxing. However, we want someone dedicated and definitely not someone who wants a hardened 9am – 5pm kind of position! Experience Required (Please Read in FULL): * Role is the face of Global IT in the Project – Global experience is not required but you must have an appreciation of a Global role versus Regional * Proven hands on Technical background before your career began within Project Management * Experience of end to end Project Delivery experience and able to walk through Project delivred from start to finish, along with proven Project Ownership exposure * Acts as a key integral part of a wider Project team – you must have a proven Business Relationship side to your solid Senior Project Management skills * Highly experienced Projects that have involved the implemention of SaaS and bespoke Software solutions * Excellent verbal and written communication skills, able to clearly define and articulate complex issues to challenging stakeholders * Detail orientated and able to plan and present at both a high and very detailed level * Able to present sometimes complex technical solutions to both IT and senior business stakeholders (sometimes C-Level / Partner Level) * Excellent vendor management skills, comfortable challenging suppliers as well as working alongside them to achieve a desired outcome * Excellent Risk and Issue Management skills, able to anticipate issues before they occur and take proactive preventative measures * Experienced in the implementation, review and uplift of IT Managed Services processes and how they apply to a SaaS solution * Excellent understanding of SaaS solution test and Assurance, able to offer guidance on plans and other test activities * Comfortable in dealing with ambiguity and items that may not typically fall under a Project Manager’s remit * Comfortable presenting updates across the company network and sometimes to very senior stakeholders * Mentoring ability for more Junior Project Managers, Business Analysts and Product Owners * Able to reflect this in a clear and concise way in your CV with headlines over extended, unnecessary waffle – 4 pages maximum ideally If you feel this is you, please feel free to apply. It really is a great role where, as stated, you will be spinning lots of plates, but hopefully enjoying the versatility of the whole thing at the same time. We want this person to really stand out. This is a great opportunity and salary is dependent upon experience. Apply now for more details
