Delivery Lead

Delivery Lead | Initial 6 Month Contract | Hybrid

I'm supporting a global technology organisation with the appointment of an experienced Delivery Lead to join a major strategic transformation programme on an initial 6 month contract.

This is a hands on delivery role for someone who is comfortable stepping into complex technical workstreams, quickly understanding where delivery is being impacted and taking ownership of getting things moving.

You'll work closely with Product Owners, Engineering teams and senior programme stakeholders, moving across priority workstreams as programme requirements evolve.

Key responsibilities

• Own end to end delivery across assigned technical workstreams

• Identify blockers, dependencies and resource constraints and drive them through to resolution

• Assess project health and implement recovery plans where required

• Partner closely with Product and Engineering teams

• Improve delivery predictability and ways of working

• Coordinate cross functional stakeholders against key milestones

• Manage risks, issues, dependencies and progress reporting

• Adapt quickly between different workstreams as priorities change

What we're looking for

• 5 to 7+ years of experience within project or delivery leadership

• Strong experience delivering within technology environments

• Proven ownership of complex, cross functional workstreams

• Experience working directly with Product and Engineering teams

• Evidence of resolving delivery challenges and recovering at risk initiatives

• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills

• Agile delivery experience is highly desirable

Contract: Initial 6 months

Working pattern: Hybrid, minimum 2 days per week onsite

Locations: London, Manchester, Raleigh/Durham, San Jose, Austin or Atlanta

Travel: Up to 10%, fully funded

If you're an experienced Delivery Lead or Technical Program Manager who enjoys stepping into complex environments, solving delivery challenges and driving execution, I'd be keen to hear from you.
