Delivery Manager

We’re looking for a Delivery Manager to join our team at Futurice UK. You’d be working with our collaborative, cross-functional product teams to deliver intuitive, impactful and accessible digital solutions. We’d like to bring in someone who will take responsibility for achieving a client’s aims and make sure their experience of a project is as positive as the end result.

Sound like you?

• You have an interest in the transformative possibilities of digital projects and enjoy working with people to bring out the best in them.
• You like working with multi-disciplinary teams that include clients, designers, developers and user researchers.
• You understand and respect different disciplines, whilst helping the team function and progress as a single entity.
• You create momentum to help drive through uncertainty, and do this while keeping the project within time and budget constraints.
• You like the idea of a low hierarchy organisation and enjoy facilitating and organising sessions to promote collaboration.
• You make sure your teams are motivated, supported and happy.

Some things we expect to see:

• You have ample experience managing projects of all sizes with end-to-end responsibility of project delivery.
• You’re comfortable with release planning, estimation, capacity planning, proposal building, contract negotiation and managing project financials.
• A strong understanding of software development approaches (traditional, agile etc) and have the ability to consult clients on appropriate methods.
• Evidence of dedication to continuous improvement – both supporting/coaching a team and in your own ways of working.
• You can communicate clearly, including an ability to explain technical concepts to people with diverse backgrounds in a way that is meaningful to them
• A keen interest in and familiarity with how software is built and delivered, including knowing when things are technically easy or difficult
