Client Delivery Manager / Senior Client Delivery Manager (Project Management)
Do you thrive when clients trust you, projects run smoothly, and teams pull in the same direction?
At Propel Tech, our Client Delivery Managers are experienced project managers who also own the client relationship. You will be the person clients rely on, and the link between what they need and what our development teams deliver. If you are organised, people-oriented, and energised by variety, this could be the role for you.
We are a friendly, forward-thinking software consultancy based in Wakefield. We solve complex challenges for clients across a range of industries and take real pride in the relationships we build along the way.
What we offer£45,000 to £65,000 salary, depending on experience, with flexibility for exceptional candidates
Monthly performance-related bonus opportunities
Flexible hybrid working, typically just a few in-office days per month
10% of your time dedicated to learning and development
Private medical insurance, share scheme, buy/sell holiday, and more
This role combines delivery management with relationship ownership. You will be aligned to a dedicated .NET development team, taking ownership of all their clients and projects across sectors including business services, logistics, and manufacturing. Each development team at Propel Tech has its own dedicated Client Delivery Manager (CDM), and our CDM's work closely together to ensure consistency in process and approach across the business. It is a structure that gives you real ownership of your area while making sure you are never working in isolation.
Day to day, you will work in close partnership with the Development Team Manager of your team. Together you will manage project lifecycles, coordinate resources, and ensure clients are well served. You will own the client relationship and delivery coordination, while your Development Team Manager leads on the technical direction, code quality, and the day to day management of the development team. It is a genuine partnership and one that is central to how we deliver for clients at Propel Tech.
"We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys owning client relationships and takes pride in keeping delivery running smoothly. If you are the kind of person who spots problems before they become issues and brings calm, clear thinking to busy situations, you will fit right in here."
