Location: Manchester
Job Description:

Our client is a UK-based technology company delivering software solutions to enterprise customers. Following the onboarding of a new client, they are looking for a Technical Delivery Manager to lead a critical implementation project.

This is a hands-on delivery role, focused on ensuring software is delivered effectively across engineering teams, rather than a purely administrative or reporting-based project management position.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of an end-to-end client implementation project
  • Lead and manage 8–10 week Agile delivery sprints
  • Work closely with engineering teams to ensure smooth delivery of software
  • Manage and prioritise tickets and backlog (e.g. Jira)
  • Coordinate with offshore development teams (India)
  • Oversee regression testing and environment stabilisation
  • Identify and remove delivery blockers quickly
  • Ensure alignment between technical teams and business stakeholders
  • Engage with senior stakeholders, including CTO-level, and external partners

Key Requirements

  • 10–15 years’ experience in software delivery / engineering environments
  • Strong background in software development or technical delivery
  • Proven experience working closely with engineering teams (not a pure PM)
  • Solid understanding of:
  • Release and testing processes
  • Experience managing distributed / offshore teams
  • Ability to operate in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment
  • Confident stakeholder management, including senior leadership and external vendors
  • Pure Project Managers without technical involvement
  • Candidates without hands‑on experience working with development teams
  • Non-software or non‑technical delivery backgrounds
