• Manage multiple workstreams and competing priorities across complex programmes.
• Provide functional and technical expertise across the design, build and testing lifecycle.

• Develop and maintain comprehensive end-to-end delivery plans.
• Work effectively across Agile, Scrum, Kanban and Waterfall delivery environments.
• Identify and resolve delivery challenges, escalating issues appropriately when required.
• Maintain an awareness of emerging technology trends and identify opportunities to apply new technologies to client challenges.
• Support wider business transformation initiatives, ensuring technology delivery remains aligned with business objectives.

We are looking for candidates with:

• 6+ years' experience in technology delivery, project management or programme delivery.
• Proven experience successfully managing projects or significant project phases across the design, build and test lifecycle.
• Experience managing project budgets, resources and delivery against agreed objectives.

• Experience working with SaaS platforms, such as Salesforce.
• Strong practical experience across Agile and Waterfall methodologies, including Scrum and Kanban.

You will stand out if you have:

• Proven experience managing complex multi-supplier technology deliveries, coordinating multiple dependencies, workstreams and delivery plans.

• Strong technical understanding combined with excellent delivery and commercial judgement.
• High levels of technical and emotional intelligence, with the ability to build trust and influence across different teams and stakeholders.
