We are looking to bring in an motivated and experienced delivery manager to manage the end-to-end delivery across a number of our clients. That will include website and mobile application design and build projects; prototyping; and optimisation work. Some projects will be delivered Agile and others Waterfall, and the delivery manager will need to be comfortable with both methodologies. 

You’ll ensure all requirements have been carefully considered and prioritised, risks have been documented with clear mitigation and there is an outstanding level of clear clarification within our shared JIRA boards.

You will demonstrate control to clients and internal stakeholders through overall project oversight, effectively managing the throughput of work in a timely fashion to meet release plans and client deadlines.

You will be a trusted and respected partner to our clients. From scoping and ideation through the project lifecycle. You will add value by continuing to problem solve and demonstrating a strong grasp of production processes to deliver against client values. 

You will demonstrate strong time and budget management, reconciling projects on a daily and weekly basis, and communicating this clearly to the finance team and Lead Delivery Manager to ensure that forecasts and schedules are accurate at all times.
