Job description

Job Description

Location: Hybrid (3 days onsite, Hertfordshire, UK)

Employment Type: Permanent

We're happy to be exclusively partnered with a long-standing client in the FMCG/Gaming space, in their search for a Technology Delivery Manager. We are seeking a motivated Technology Delivery Manager to join a fast-paced, highly regulated digital business. This is a hands-on delivery role, responsible for driving critical technology initiatives across products, platforms, and infrastructure.

Reporting into senior leadership, you’ll oversee the end-to-end delivery of projects spanning new digital product launches, infrastructure/data centre work, and transformation programmes. The environment combines the speed of a digital/e-commerce arm with the rigour of a regulated industry, so you’ll need to be comfortable balancing Agile ways of working to deliver at pace, within structured, Waterfall-style programmes.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading the delivery of cross-functional technology projects from scope through to go-live
• Managing dependencies, risks, and stakeholder expectations across business and technology teams
• Driving collaboration with engineering, product, and external partners to deliver high-quality outcomes
• Adapting delivery frameworks (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid) to suit project needs
• Supporting strategic initiatives such as new product launches and broader technology transformation
• Reporting on progress, risks, and milestones to senior stakeholders

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience in delivering technology projects within regulated, complex, digital environments
• Strong knowledge of Agile and Waterfall delivery models, with the ability to flex between them
• Background as a Delivery Manager, Programme Manager, or Project Manager in e-commerce, fintech, gaming, gambling, lottery, or other regulated sectors
• Proficiency with tools such as Jira, Confluence, or MS Project
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, able to operate confidently across business and technology functions
• A self-starter with strong communication skills, someone who can run with a one-page brief and deliver without being spoon-fed
• Comfortable balancing detail and pace, resilient under pressure, and able to sniff out blockers before they become issues

Why join?

• Opportunity to deliver high-impact projects in a growing digital business with global reach
• Exposure to both digital product launches and large-scale transformation initiatives
• Career progression into Agile programme/portfolio-level delivery for those who want to grow
• Hybrid model with flexibility, while still being part of a close-knit delivery community
