Are you a dynamic Delivery Manager ready to make a real impact in the world of health tech? We're on the lookout for a skilled leader to drive platform improvements, technical enhancements, and product releases across our cutting-edge health systems. If you're passionate about delivering results in a fast-paced, evolving environment, we want to hear from you!

At the heart of health technology innovation, you'll lead mission-critical initiatives, ensuring our platforms deliver high-quality outcomes that make a tangible difference. You’ll play a pivotal role in transforming business priorities into actionable delivery plans, all while navigating complex challenges and ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations and governance standards.

What You’ll Be Doing:

As a Delivery Manager, you’ll be responsible for ensuring technical initiatives and product releases are delivered on time, to scope, and to the highest quality. Key responsibilities include:

Delivery Management

• Lead the successful delivery of software and technical projects, ensuring agreed outcomes are achieved within timeframes and budgets.
• Collaborate with Product Owners and Tech Leads to maintain an integrated view of demand, priorities, dependencies, and delivery commitments.
• Translate business objectives into clear delivery plans, balancing long-term goals with operational needs and changing priorities.
• Ensure delivery boards, work-tracking tools, and plans are accurate, up to date, and visible to all stakeholders.
• Proactively identify and manage risks, issues, and dependencies, removing blockers to maintain momentum.
• Coordinate release-readiness activities across engineering, QA, product, and operations teams, ensuring all compliance requirements are met.

Team Coordination and Enablement

• Foster a collaborative, supportive, and accountable team culture where everyone works towards shared goals.
• Use data and delivery metrics to support decision-making, improve predictability, and guide continuous improvement.
• Support and coach teams to adapt effectively to challenges and changing priorities.

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Maintain alignment on priorities, plans, and delivery expectations across product, technology, and business stakeholders.
• Provide clear, consistent, and timely reporting on delivery progress, risks, milestones, and outcomes.
• Coordinate cross-functional dependencies and ensure effective communication across multiple teams and workstreams.

Governance and Compliance

• Ensure delivery processes and releases align with healthcare regulations and standards, such as UK GDPR, ISO 27001, NHS DSPT, and internal audits.
• Collaborate with clinical and governance leads to ensure releases are safe, compliant, and fully auditable.
• Provide documentation and evidence to support internal and external audits.

What We Are Looking For:

• Proven experience in a Delivery Manager role within software delivery or technical project management.
• A strong track record of delivering successful outcomes in fast-paced, complex, and evolving environments.
• Excellent planning, organisation, and attention to detail, with the ability to bring structure and clarity to ambiguity.
• Experience facilitating refinement, estimation, and planning activities to ensure work is prioritised, understood, and ready for delivery.
• Strong risk, issue, and dependency management skills, with the ability to resolve blockers and maintain momentum.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and influencing skills, with experience working effectively with remote and distributed teams.
• Good understanding of software delivery processes and the software development lifecycle.
• A servant-leader mindset, with the ability to support, coach, and guide teams to achieve their best work.
• Resilience, adaptability, and a calm approach when dealing with competing priorities or frequent changes.
• Experience working in regulated environments or with compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, ISO 9001, or NHS DSPT.
