Programme Delivery Manager
Senior Project / Programme Delivery Manager - 6 Months - Outside IR35 - £550-£600p/d
Location: Jersey
Contract: Initial term from 1 September to 27 February
Working pattern: On-site collaboration required; off-island candidates considered where regular travel to Jersey is workable
I'm supporting a large public-sector organisation in Jersey with the appointment of an experienced Senior Project / Programme Delivery Manager to join a significant digital transformation portfolio.
This is broader than a conventional single-project PM role. You will take ownership of delivery across a defined business area, bringing together multiple technology initiatives, internal teams, suppliers and dependencies to ensure priorities remain achievable and outcomes are delivered.
Key Areas of Responsibility:
- Owning and maintaining an integrated delivery roadmap and plan
- Coordinating multiple projects and technology workstreams
- Managing milestones, dependencies, risks, issues and key decisions
- Balancing priorities against available resources and delivery capacity
- Providing clear governance across scope, budget, resource, quality and progress
- Coordinating business teams, technology functions and third-party suppliers
- Identifying and removing delivery blockers
- Providing clear escalation and reporting to senior stakeholders
- Keeping delivery aligned with business and service outcomes
- Supporting implementation, operational readiness and transition into BAU
Key Skills & Experience Required:
- Delivery of complex digital or technology transformation
- Responsibility across multiple concurrent projects or workstreams
- Strong programme planning, governance and dependency management
- RAID, budget, resource and delivery control
- Senior stakeholder management
- Management of external suppliers and delivery partners
- Experience operating across both business and technology teams
- Delivery through implementation, go-live and operational transition
- Agile, hybrid and/or traditional delivery environments
Experience within government, public sector or another complex regulated environment would be particularly valuable.
Exposure to Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE/CRM, wider CRM transformation or systems integration would also be advantageous, although this is primarily a senior delivery leadership position rather than a Dynamics specialist role.
Relevant qualifications such as MSP, PRINCE2, PMP, Scrum or equivalent would be beneficial.
Jersey Working:
The programme places significant value on people working alongside the internal project team.
Candidates already based in Jersey are therefore of particular interest, although applications from off-island candidates will also be considered where regular travel and on-site working in Jersey is genuinely achievable.
If you have led complex digital transformation across multiple projects, suppliers and stakeholder groups and are comfortable taking accountability for the wider delivery picture, I'd be interested in speaking with you.
