Job Description

We're looking for a hands-on Technical Operations leader who thrives in complex delivery environments and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves. This is not a role for someone who wants to sit above the detail. We need a proven delivery leader who has personally managed large-scale infrastructure, network, platform or Tech Ops programmes and can drive execution from the front.

You'll work alongside senior technology leaders, owning delivery across a portfolio of critical initiatives, challenging plans, managing dependencies, and ensuring programmes stay on track. You'll be comfortable stepping into programmes directly, supporting project managers, resolving delivery challenges, and holding stakeholders accountable when needed.

The ideal candidate will bring:

  • Strong Tech Ops, infrastructure, networks or platform delivery experience
  • A hands-on programme delivery background
  • Experience managing complex, business-critical technology initiatives
  • Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills
  • The confidence to challenge senior technical leaders and drive better outcomes
  • Portfolio planning, prioritisation and governance experience

If you're a delivery-first leader with the technical credibility and gravitas to lead from the front, we'd love to hear from you.
