This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as Delivery Manager (Online Platforms).

Acting as the central coordination point across Web, Digital, Marketing, Product and external partners, you will manage dependencies, risks and blockers, coordinate UAT readiness and sign-off processes, and provide clear visibility of delivery progress, priorities, capacity and trade-offs. You will also lead improvements to agile ways of working, helping teams optimise delivery processes and ceremonies to improve efficiency and collaboration.

We are looking for someone with significant experience delivering complex projects or programmes in a digital, technology or product-led environment, working closely with Product Managers and multidisciplinary teams. You will bring strong stakeholder management, planning and organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities, build collaborative relationships and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences. Experience of agile delivery methodologies, continuous improvement and coordinating cross-functional teams to deliver successful outcomes is essential.

If you are passionate about enabling teams to do their best work and want to use your skills to help deliver better outcomes for children, we’d love to hear from you.

• an open culture and workplace with colleagues who share our values, enjoy their work and are motivated to do their utmost for children
• the opportunity to work in a leading children’s organisation making a difference to children around the world

Our application process: We use a system called "Applied" that anonymises your responses and focuses on your actual skills that are relevant to this role. This benefits you by giving you a greater chance of expressing your skills in this objective selection process.

We anticipate most colleagues will work one or two days a week in the office on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London and the rest of the time from home. We will happily discuss other flexible options to suit your circumstances.

We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates, disabled candidates, and from men, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at UNICEF UK. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for children.
