Team Model:

Public sector experience- ideally UK government / health & public sector.
Complex transformation delivery:
Comfort operating in complex, multi-system environments.
Experience managing technical transformation and modernisation work (e.g. retiring legacy stacks, upgrading Java/Spring Boot, large-scale tech refresh).
Exposure to Dev Ops environments:
Doesn't have to be hands-on engineer, but should understand Dev Ops-focused delivery, tooling, and ways of working.
Strong project management track record:
Planning and running delivery for complex technical programmes.
Coordinating multidisciplinary teams and managing stakeholders.
Working closely with a delivery lead and technical SMEs rather than being the sole lead.
Baseline:

BPSS is acceptable, especially for non-production work.
:

SC clearance(or at least SC-eligible) is strongly , particularly as the PM’s remit and exposure grow. Client will prioritise candidates with existing SC if possible.

Ways of Working
Comfortable operating in a hybrid model:
Agile ways of working (scrum/kanban, ceremonies) "as agile as possible".
But also able to handle T&M / SoW constraints and bring Agile + commercial/contractual realities together.
Able to work within consulting-style expectations:
"T-shaped consultant" mindset - some flexibility to stretch across activities and adapt to different demands within the account.
Primary location:

Newcastle(core team is Newcastle-based).
Secondary location:

Birmingham(some core team members there; they travel to Newcastle roughly every three weeks
