"The Delivery Manager is accountable for the end-to-end delivery of the clients Core Cloud services, ensuring platforms, products, and supplier outcomes are delivered on time, within tolerance, and to production-grade standards.
This is not a ceremonial Agile role. It is a hands-on delivery leadership position operating in a high-assurance, multi-supplier, politically visible environment. You will be expected to control risk, expose reality early, and keep delivery moving despite ambiguity, dependency churn, and security constraints.
Key Responsibilities
Delivery & Execution

• Own delivery across one or more Core Cloud workstreams (platform, migration, security uplift, tooling, or service onboarding).
• Translate strategy, roadmaps, and funding intent into executable delivery plans with clear milestones, dependencies, and tolerances.
• Drive delivery through discovery, alpha, beta, and live phases without losing momentum.
• Actively manage delivery risk, technical debt, and operational constraints

Stakeholder & Governance Management

• Operate confidently across the clients senior stakeholders, DDaT leadership, architects, security teams, and commercial functions.
• Run delivery governance forums with clarity and pace, focusing on decisions, not theatre.
• Provide clear, honest delivery reporting (RAG, risks, mitigations, forecast confidence).
• Challenge optimism bias and escalate early when delivery is at risk.

Multi-Supplier & Team Leadership

• Coordinate delivery across multiple suppliers and internal teams, ensuring clear ownership and zero gaps.
• Enable engineering teams by removing blockers rather than adding process drag.
