About the position of Technology Delivery Manager:

The Technology Delivery Lead will own and drive the end-to-end technology delivery of the Originations Ecosystem programme, ensuring the platforms, applications and capabilities required to support the organisation's customer and broker journeys are delivered in line with agreed business outcomes.

Working across internal technology teams and third-party suppliers, the role will coordinate delivery from discovery and design through build, integration, testing and implementation. This includes managing delivery plans, dependencies, resources, budgets, risks, issues and reporting, ensuring technology delivery remains aligned with wider programme objectives and business change priorities.

We are looking for an experienced technology or project delivery professional with a proven track record of delivering complex initiatives, ideally within a business change or transformation environment. Experience in financial services or specialist lending would be beneficial but is not essential; strong delivery leadership, stakeholder management and the ability to drive outcomes are key.

• Lead end-to-end technology delivery across the Originations Ecosystem programme, from discovery and mobilisation through design, build, integration, testing and implementation.
• Own and manage the integrated technology delivery plan, ensuring milestones, resources, budgets, dependencies and supplier commitments remain on track.
• Translate business requirements into clear technology delivery outcomes, working with business analysts, architects and technical specialists to define requirements, solutions and acceptance criteria.
• Coordinate internal technology teams and third-party suppliers, driving collaboration, resolving delivery challenges and maintaining momentum across workstreams.
• Manage technology delivery risks, issues and dependencies, identifying potential impacts early and driving effective mitigation and recovery plans.
• Oversee delivery governance, providing clear reporting on progress, milestones, budgets, delivery confidence and key decisions required.
• Challenge delivery assumptions, estimates and proposed solutions, ensuring appropriate consideration of security, architecture, data, resilience and operational requirements.
• Coordinate testing, release, cutover and implementation activities, ensuring appropriate approvals, business readiness and a controlled transition into operational support.
• Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders, programme leadership, technology teams and suppliers, translating technical issues into clear business impacts and decisions.
• Drive accountability across the delivery team, setting clear priorities and maintaining focus on successful delivery of agreed business outcomes.

Experience required for the position of Technology Delivery Manager:

• Proven experience leading end-to-end delivery of complex technology projects or programmes, ideally within a business transformation or change environment.
• Demonstrable experience managing integrated delivery plans, budgets, resources, risks, dependencies and multiple third-party suppliers.
• Experience across technology delivery lifecycle, including system integrations, APIs, data, testing, release management and implementation.
• Experience working across business and technology teams, managing senior stakeholders, challenging delivery assumptions and driving decisions in complex environments.
• Experience delivering technology change within financial services or a regulated environment would be advantageous, with specialist lending or mortgage experience desirable but not essential.
