About the job
A quick-start contract taking senior delivery ownership across GCP programme execution and cloud transformation for a high-profile client.
This is a 6-month initial engagement with potential to extend.
The single most important requirement is proven end-to-end accountability for complex production cloud transformation delivery, ideally involving Google Cloud Platform.
This is not a general project management or PMO position.
We need someone who has personally owned customer outcomes, multiple technical workstreams, commercial control, risks, escalations and delivery recovery in a real production environment.
Your Mission
Your mission is to turn a complex cloud transformation into reliable, measurable delivery, taking accountability from mobilisation and planning through implementation, cutover, stabilisation and benefits realisation.
You will lead across the customer relationship, technical workstreams, governance, commercial performance, partners and operational outcomes, working with Cx O and Board-level stakeholders, engineering teams, channel partners and third-party delivery groups.
The strongest candidates will be able to explain what they personally owned, delivered, recovered and improved, including the scale, budget, technical workstreams and measurable customer outcome.

- Extensive senior experience as a Delivery Lead, Delivery Director, Engagement Director, Cloud Transformation Director, Programme Director or equivalent
- Proven end-to-end delivery of large, complex production cloud transformations
- Direct personal accountability to senior customer stakeholders for delivery outcomes
- Leadership of cross-functional engineering teams and multiple technical workstreams
- Strong commercial, budget, governance, risk and escalation ownership
- Clear evidence of delivery recovery, turnaround or resolving complex programme problems
- Ability to turn ambiguity into structured delivery plans and decisive action
- Fluency in English at professional working level
- Ability to work in the UK in a hybrid model and travel domestically approximately once or twice every two months
- Availability to start immediately or at short notice
- Useful Background
- Direct Google Cloud Platform delivery leadership
- Account management or client-facing consulting background
