Teams ship new code every day, through tickets, pull requests, releases, and increasingly with AI in the mix, but the way security keeps up with all that change hasn't really moved on.\nThat's the problem we're solving. Cytix helps organisations understand which software changes actually matter, what should happen next, and how to prove the right call was made. Security understood, in other words.\nWe're a small team with big plans, so every person we hire genuinely shapes what Cytix becomes.\nWhat you'll do\nYou’ll join Cytix’s Software Engineering department as our Product Delivery Manager, helping turn our product roadmap into predictable, high-quality releases.\nFollowing our Series A funding, we’re expanding our engineering team. We’re looking for someone who can bring structure to delivery, keep teams aligned and remove the obstacles that slow engineers down.\nReporting to the Co-Founder / CTO, you’ll work with a distributed team of up to ten engineers across Manchester, the wider UK and overseas. This is an individual contributor role with responsibility for coordinating delivery and improving how the team work including use the best frameworks for the task in hand across Agile, Scrum or Kanban.\nWhat you'll need\nOwn day-to-day delivery of the agreed roadmap, working with the CTO and engineers to turn priorities into realistic plans and clear milestones.\n\nWork with engineers to break down work, assess capacity and understand estimates, making trade-offs and delivery risks visible early.\n\nUse your experience to identify dependencies, challenge assumptions constructively and help resolve delivery blockers.\n\nCoordinate engineering and QA so testing and release readiness are built into delivery plans.\n\nKeep stakeholders informed about progress, risks and decisions needed, with clear reporting that supports action.\n\nAct as the delivery point of contact for Customer Success, ensuring customer feedback and requests enter a clear prioritisation process.\n\nKeep delivery aligned with company priorities, making the impact of changes to scope or urgency explicit.\n\nEstablish practical ways of working that support a growing engineering team without adding unnecessary administration.\n\nImprove delivery using evidence from completed work, release quality and team feedback.\n\nFamiliarity and experience of using Agile, Kanban or similar methodologies, ability to unblock Engineering time.\n\nSuccess in this role means engineers have clear priorities, blockers are addressed quickly, and stakeholders have confidence in what will be delivered and when.\nYou’ll work on Cytix’s core product, with our Manchester City Centre office as your base (2-3 days a week).\nWhat you'll get\nTime off that works for you: Unlimited holiday policy, including a guaranteed 33 days plus your birthday off\n\nFlexible hybrid working: Work in a way that helps you do your best work, while staying connected with the team.\n\nA stake in what we’re building: Eligible employees can participate in our EMI share option scheme.\n\nHealthcare that goes further: After one year’s service, access private healthcare through Vitality, including dental, optical, hearing and therapy cover.\n\nMore ways to get around: Access our company car salary-sacrifice scheme.\n\nSupport for growing families: Enhanced maternity and paternity leave. We're upfront about our five values: we interview for all of them, and they matter to us more than a perfect CV. They're things you do, not things you are, so have a read and see if they sound like you.\n\nMake the first move. When the goal is clear but the path isn't, you get moving rather than waiting for perfect instructions. If you're blocked, you make a sensible call, say what you're assuming, and explain how you'd course-correct. We'd rather you act and be slightly wrong than sit still.\nFind the smarter path. You ask why before how. You dig into what the real problem is instead of just building what the spec says, and you're happy to question 'that's how it's always been done' when the reason behind it has gone stale.\nSee it through. When something's yours, it lands. No loose ends, no surprises for whoever picks it up next. You keep people posted when things change, and if something falls between roles, you catch it.\nRaise the bar. You do the best job possible in the time you've got, whether that's a day or a month. Sometimes that means deep craft; sometimes the smartest move is quick and scrappy. It's about good judgement, and we hold each other to it without blame or politics.\nPlay to win. You care about the mission but don't take yourself too seriously. You say 'I' when things go wrong and 'we' when they go right, trust teammates to do things their own way, and bring a bit of humour when the pressure's on.\nSound like you on a normal working day? We'd love to meet you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4848,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Application Security","DevSecOps"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T14:31:35Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-11T06:25:45+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":38,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.691,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":34,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":107086,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cytix-technical-delivery-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cytix-technical-delivery-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T06:59:37Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10324,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2681162},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2681162"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcytix-technical-delivery-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcytix-technical-delivery-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcytix-technical-delivery-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cytix-technical-delivery-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcytix-technical-delivery-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2031760}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cytix.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2031760},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
