What You Will Get To Do:

As a Digital Delivery Manager, you will help build and drive a cross-functional team including product owners, business analysts, developers, and QA, using best practice methodologies, to deliver to agreed timelines, budget, quality expectations, objectives, business case and quality gate measures. You will also manage and own the client and key stakeholder relationships, produce timely and accurate reporting (updates, RAID logs, budgetary controls, resource requirements etc.) and ensure compliance with internal frameworks and governance.

Product Delivery: Own the delivery of the digital products to all required clients and align (where required) the implementations to the existing frameworks. Create repeatable processes to improve subsequent product rollout. Ensure the delivery framework optimally supports a continual delivery methodology.

Initiation: Identify, confirm, and engage with all stakeholders (internal, external and 3rd party) - to ratify scope and objectives. Establish governance structures and confirm roles and responsibilities. Confirm objectives, benefits, business cases, products, and strategic themes - agree on critical success factors. Identify relevant scrum teams and ensure sprint delivery/outputs align. Confirm testing strategy and agree on criteria for production acceptance. Identify dependencies and align plans. Identify actions, risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies. Review the Lessons Learnt log (from previous projects) for any relevant items to incorporate into planning.

Monitoring and Communication: Prepare and execute stakeholder communication plans. Maintain regular, relevant, timely and accurate communications with stakeholders across all locations and time zones. Provide reporting to various stakeholder audiences, setting and managing expectations at all stages. Chair and document meetings, initiate and facilitate discussions including management of issues, and getting collective agreement on next steps. Ensure quality gate requirements are met at relevant stages during the project lifecycle. Document and track issues through to resolution, prioritising and escalating as appropriate.

Team Management: Maintain a culture of collaboration across all team members and wider stakeholders (and their teams) – provide regular, relevant updates and communication. Manage, support, motivate the delivery team – maintain a deliverable focus. Ensure benefits and strategic relevance are fully understood.

Facilitation: Manage and monitor RAID. Manage changes to plans, assess the impact on the business case and escalate as appropriate. Identify and resolve potential resource conflicts, and escalate as necessary. Prepare and run Steering Committees where required.

Project Diligence: Maintain governance: follow best practice project methodology and use approved document templates. Keep all documents up to date, accurate, formatted, in the correct folder structure, version controlled, and ready for audit inspections. Complete a Closure Report within the Service Level Agreement (SLA) timeframe. Ensure compliance with Information Security, data protection requirements etc.

Continuous Improvement: Support the adoption of Agile within the team and how Project Management will integrate with the implementation. Highlight key issues experienced and capture approaches/actions taken to resolve - feed into lessons learnt for the benefit of future projects (and capture relevant information from other project team members). Highlight process improvements implemented during the project and communicate to the Line Manager to consider the application in future projects/other activities. Complete Post-Implementation Review (PIR) as appropriate to identify positive outcomes and areas for improvement in future implementations.

Project Budgetary Control: Maintain control of budget expenditure across all areas and activities. Provide budgetary reporting by updating project spreadsheets. Undertake financial monitoring throughout the project lifecycle. Provide detailed explanations for any deviation from the budget, according to agreed contingency criteria, ensuring early escalation if required.

What You Will Bring: Proven project delivery over a minimum of 5 years, working in Wealth Management.
