We're looking for an experienced Lead Delivery Manager / Programme Manager to join a major greenfield technology programme delivering a large-scale, cloud-native data platform.
Working closely with senior technical leaders, you'll coordinate multiple engineering, platform and supplier workstreams, ensuring delivery remains aligned, dependencies are managed, and progress is clearly communicated.

  • Run Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews and retrospectives.
  • Manage risks, issues and cross-team dependencies.
  • Coordinate internal engineering teams, third-party suppliers and delivery partners.
  • Provide clear reporting and delivery updates to senior stakeholders.
  • Maintain backlogs, user stories and delivery documentation.
  • Drive continuous improvement across delivery practices.

Skills & Experience
  • Proven experience as a Lead Delivery Manager, Programme Manager or Senior Delivery Manager.
  • Strong Agile delivery experience (Scrum, Kanban or hybrid).
  • Experience managing complex software engineering or cloud platform programmes.
  • Excellent stakeholder management with the ability to build trust and influence at all levels.
  • A high-trust individual, comfortable operating autonomously and managing sensitive programmes with professionalism and integrity.
  • Experience coordinating internal teams, contractors and third-party suppliers.
  • Strong planning, dependency and risk management capabilities.
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, greenfield environments.
  • Experience within public sector, healthcare, research or other highly regulated environments would be advantageous.
