Delivery Manager

We are a technology solutions provider specialising in the public sector. Our mission is to help government organisations become truly data-driven by transforming their digital services, streamlining operational processes, improving citizen outcomes, and enhancing transparency across public services.

We work closely with government bodies to design and deliver modern, secure, and scalable digital solutions that have real-world impact.

We are looking for our first permanent Delivery Manager to help establish and grow our Delivery Management capability at an exciting stage in our journey. As a small but ambitious consultancy delivering transformative data services to public sector clients, this is a unique opportunity to shape how we deliver high-quality, outcome-focused work as we scale.

This is a mid-level role designed for someone ready to step up and grow with the business. You will not be joining an established delivery practice with extensive structure and tooling already in place. Instead, you will help define what great delivery looks like for us - introducing pragmatic, lightweight processes that support high performance without slowing teams down.

Working in Agile delivery environments, you will partner closely with Product, Data and Engineering colleagues to ensure work is well-planned, transparent and delivered to a high standard. You will support multidisciplinary teams to operate effectively, remove blockers, manage risks and maintain strong communication with stakeholders - particularly within public sector contexts where governance and accountability are critical.

You will also play a key role in shaping how delivery operates across both client engagements and the ongoing development of our in-house data product. This includes helping us mature our delivery approach, improve forecasting and planning, and embed continuous improvement practices as we grow.

We are looking for someone who is proactive, structured and people-focused - comfortable operating without a large peer group around them, and excited by the opportunity to build capability rather than inherit it. In return, you will gain meaningful responsibility, exposure to senior leadership, and the opportunity to grow into a more senior delivery leadership role as the organisation scales.

This role offers the chance to:

• Help establish and embed Delivery Management within a growing consultancy
• Support Agile, multidisciplinary teams delivering complex data-driven solutions
• Influence delivery practices across both client services and our in-house data product
• Grow with the business and shape the future direction of our delivery capability

• Manage end-to-end delivery of data-focused client engagements, ensuring work is delivered on time, within scope and to a high standard.
• Facilitate Agile ceremonies and promote effective iterative delivery practices.
• Support multidisciplinary teams to plan, prioritise and deliver outcomes.
• Identify, manage and mitigate risks, issues and dependencies, escalating appropriately where required.
• Maintain clear and transparent delivery plans, forecasts and progress reporting for internal and client stakeholders.
• Build strong, trusted relationships with public sector clients, ensuring proactive communication and expectation management.
• Ensure delivery aligns with contractual commitments, governance requirements and quality standards.
• Track and manage budgets, burn rates and resource allocation in collaboration with leadership.
• Remove blockers and create the conditions for teams to perform effectively.
• Drive continuous improvement by embedding retrospectives and feedback loops into delivery processes.
• Support discovery and mobilisation phases of new projects, helping shape…
