Technical Delivery Manager
Location: Leeds, UK (Remote / Hybrid options available)
Reporting to: Managing Director
About the Role
We are seeking a dynamic, ambitious, and highly capable Technical Delivery Manager to command the end-to-end technical execution of digital development services for our key client accounts.
Ideally coming from a strong technical background (such as a former Technical Lead, Head of Engineering, or CTO), you will act as the principal UK-based technical authority, bridging the gap between our clients and our distributed global engineering teams.
Supported by our Business Analysts, you will take ownership of technical solutions, project planning, delivery management, and commercial oversight. You will ensure that complex requirements are translated into robust technical architectures, work is efficiently coordinated, and engineering quality is maintained to the highest standards.
Who You Are
- Dynamic & Ambitious: You are a driven, energetic leader who wants to make a tangible impact, shape delivery processes, and scale operations.
- Resilient Under Pressure: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and remain calm, focused, and decisive—whether you are managing competing priorities, tight client deadlines, or critical live incidents.
- Challenge-Oriented: You do not shy away from complex technical, commercial, or delivery hurdles. You embrace them as opportunities to problem-solve and deliver exceptional results.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Execution & Global Delivery Coordination
- Take full ownership of technical delivery, ensuring robust, scalable, and secure solutions are built.
- Serve as the central coordination point between UK clients and our international engineering teams, allocating and prioritizing engineering tasks effectively.
- Maintain comprehensive project plans, delivery schedules, and technical milestones.
- Monitor daily development progress, proactively addressing technical blockers, architecture challenges, and emerging delivery risks.
- Act as the senior technical point of contact for assigned client accounts, managing expectations and translating technical constraints into clear business language.
- Coordinate the preparation and review of technical estimates with engineering leads, challenging assumptions where necessary to ensure accuracy.
- Maintain account revenue forecasts, track actual effort against planned work, and identify project milestones that trigger invoicing.
- Support the resolution of client concerns, escalating significant commercial issues to the Managing Director when appropriate.
Requirements Engineering & BA Collaboration
- Partner with Business Analysts to ensure client requirements are accurately captured and mapped to the correct technical architecture.
- Review and approve Technical/Functional Specifications to ensure scope is clearly defined before engineering work commences.
- Manage scope creep rigorously, clearly communicating the technical and commercial implications of requested changes.
Quality Assurance & Release Management
- Oversee the technical quality of all deliverables, ensuring the engineering team adheres to best practices and comprehensive QA processes.
- Coordinate client-facing production release sign-offs with technical stakeholders.
- Take ownership of live technical incidents, ensuring they are directed promptly to the appropriate engineering owners, and manage client communication during critical events.
Experience Required
- Strong, hands-on technical background (e.g., former Developer, Solutions Architect, or CTO) with a deep understanding of web and/or mobile application architecture.
- Proven experience in technical project management and digital delivery.
- Strong track record of managing and controlling distributed or offshore engineering teams.
- Exceptional client-facing communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience working closely with Business Analysts to translate business needs into technical delivery plans.
- High competence in commercial estimation, scope management, time tracking, and technical release management.
