Bring clarity to complexity. Drive delivery. Make an impact.

Our client is a growing technology consultancy with over 100 specialists across the UK, and they are looking for an experienced Delivery Manager for an exciting contract opportunity.

This isn't simply about keeping projects on track. You'll play a pivotal role in coordinating complex software delivery across multiple teams and workstreams, bringing people together, tackling challenges and ensuring the bigger programme objectives remain firmly in focus.

Working closely with engineers, Technical Leads and senior stakeholders, you'll combine hands-on agile delivery management with programme-level oversight, helping teams deliver effectively without getting bogged down in unnecessary process.

The Opportunity

• £500–£700 per day, depending on experience.
• Initial 3-month contract with rolling extensions.
• Outside IR35.
• Fully remote working.
• Opportunity to influence delivery practices within an established and growing technology business.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll sit at the heart of delivery, connecting technical teams, stakeholders and wider programme objectives.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Driving Programme Delivery: Coordinating multiple projects and workstreams, keeping priorities aligned and maintaining a clear picture of progress, milestones and resources.
• Managing Agile Delivery: Working with Kanban and flow-based methodologies to keep teams productive, remove bottlenecks and maintain momentum.
• Keeping Things on Track: Monitoring progress, managing risks and dependencies, resolving blockers and ensuring potential issues are addressed before they become bigger problems.
• Engaging Stakeholders: Building strong relationships with engineers, Technical Leads, senior leadership and customers, communicating clearly and managing expectations.
• Providing Visibility: Producing concise, meaningful reporting that gives stakeholders confidence in delivery without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Improving Ways of Working: Helping shape and develop delivery frameworks, processes and governance as the business continues to grow.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in experienced Delivery Managers who can see the bigger picture while understanding what it takes to get things done at team level.

You'll ideally bring:

• Proven experience managing software delivery across multiple teams, projects or workstreams.
• Strong knowledge of Agile, particularly Kanban and flow-based delivery approaches.
• Experience of programme-level planning, coordinating dependencies and managing complex delivery risks.
• The confidence to work with technical teams, senior stakeholders and customers.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex delivery information into clear, actionable updates.
• A pragmatic approach to governance, balancing the need for structure and accountability with flexibility and pace.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset and the ability to bring clarity to complex or changing environments.

Security & Clearance

Due to the nature of the work and the sectors our client supports, the successful candidate will need to be eligible for the relevant UK Government security clearance (BPSS / SC / DV, as applicable).

Candidates must meet the associated UK residency and right-to-work requirements, with any offer subject to successful completion of the relevant security screening and clearance process.
