This is a client-facing leadership role, offering the opportunity to oversee the delivery of large-scale, complex technology initiatives while contributing to the growth and development of our consultancy business.
You will typically lead high profile, business-critical programmes or large portfolios of independent projects, drawing on your experience of successful delivery in diverse technology domains and business environments. You will work with a high degree of autonomy, taking full responsibility for end-to-end delivery and building strong partnerships with our clients at Director/Exec level.
What are we looking for:
- Strong experience in shaping and leading the delivery of large-scale, complex technology programmes using suitably scaled agile delivery methods.
- Commercial experience including leading on pre-sales work; scoping, sizing and shaping new opportunities; creating compelling proposals; drafting and negotiating Statements of Work.
- Practical experience of delivery oversight across multiple teams, conducting regular reviews to ensure accountability of all project activities within the Programme as well as the accurate and timely reporting of progress, risks and financials.
- Ability to design and implement an appropriate governance framework to provide timely and detailed insights into the health of the programme across a range of perspectives (budgets, timescales, risks and issues, people) and proactively take corrective action to assure successful outcomes.
- A track record in coaching and mentoring, building high-performing teams and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
- As a strong communicator with a collaborative approach to work, you’re able to quickly build trust with senior client stakeholders (Director or C-Suite level), manage conflict and pragmatically explore effective solutions to delivery challenges. You ensure successful outcomes that are mutually beneficial to the client and our business.
- You embrace the chance to try new things and learn new skills while developing others by sharing your own knowledge and experience.
We’re looking for passionate, pragmatic leaders with hands-on experience of delivering high quality, well-engineered technology solutions that solve tough business problems and deliver lasting client value. We don’t mandate a delivery approach, preferring to find the right combination of methodology, tools and communication styles that work for each client engagement. This means we’re open-minded when it comes to your existing skillset, but we value the following:
Nice to have:
- Actively explore and adopt AI tools to improve personal productivity, using them to streamline workflows, analyse information, identify dependencies, support decision-making and enhance the quality of delivery.
- Demonstrate a practical understanding of AI-assisted product development, including familiarity with AI-enabled software delivery practices, agentic development approaches and the evolving AI Product Development Lifecycle (AI-PDLC).
