A bit about your role

As a Delivery Manager, you will play a key role in bringing people, plans and technology together to deliver successful outcomes across Production Engineering. You will lead the end-to-end delivery of initiatives, projects and operational work, coordinating resources, schedules, dependencies and implementation activities to ensure delivery is seamless, well-governed and aligned to business priorities.
