You’ll have a proven track record of delivering innovative, customer-focused solutions, particularly in mission-critical, public-facing systems within Cloud-based environments, and demonstrable experience preparing for and passing GDS assessments across government‑led digital projects. Equally important are your communication and presentation skills.

  • Use sound commercial judgement to manage scope, timelines, and resources, ensuring value-driven delivery.
  • Support and execute procurement processes with clarity and efficiency, ensuring compliance and timely delivery of services or products.
  • Stay attuned to evolving business requirements, flexing delivery approaches and stepping in where needed to bridge gaps.
  • Lead the successful deployment of scalable, secure, and resilient systems in cloud environments, particularly in public-facing or mission-critical contexts.

Skills and Experience:

  • Extensive experience delivering digital projects using Agile frameworks such as Scrum or Kanban, with a strong grasp of Agile principles and team dynamics.
  • Proven success in leading cross-functional teams, offering mentorship and building cohesive units that thrive in high-pressure environments.
  • Confident in engaging diverse stakeholder groups, ensuring buy-in, managing expectations, and translating business needs into actionable plans.
  • Deep understanding of financial drivers, commercial models, and how to deliver results that align with both client and business objectives.
  • Solid understanding of procurement processes, including vendor engagement and contract management within regulated environments.
  • Skilled in managing uncertainty, anticipating issues before they arise and responding decisively when challenges emerge.
  • Hands-on experience implementing cloud-native or cloud-hosted solutions, with knowledge of platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Demonstrated ability to introduce and scale new ideas, tools, or processes that improve customer outcomes or delivery efficiency.
  • Strong sense of organisational context and an adaptable approach to delivery that responds to shifting priorities and needs.
  • Excellent interpersonal, written, and presentation skills - able to distil complex topics and influence a variety of audiences.
