We’re looking for an experienced and dedicated Senior Delivery Manager to join our Client Services Delivery Team. The Senior Delivery Manager will be accountable for the effective delivery of complex projects within their portfolio, ensuring projects meet client expectations and contribute to the commercial success of the organisation.
Senior Delivery Managers are the backbone that support the project teams we work with. They are decisive, action-oriented individuals who help their teams prioritise the right work at the right time. Senior Delivery Managers drive pace within their project teams, often aligning to complex policy and programme deadlines in a fast-paced environment. They work hard to ensure teams are clear on goals, their individual roles, and communicate their work to stakeholders. Senior Delivery Managers will hold responsibility for budgets, margins, and risks affiliated with their projects and programmes. Senior Delivery Managers are very comfortable with time management and prioritisation of their own work, sometimes managing multiple projects and teams simultaneously.
Senior Delivery Managers are experienced in establishing and maintaining agile ways of working in teams and organisations, and can work effectively with all roles found in a multidisciplinary team. They are comfortable leading technical and design-focused projects, and balance the need to deliver at pace with the importance of meeting user needs. Senior Delivery Managers can work across the entire product lifecycle from discovery to alpha, and from private and public beta to live, and recognise that projects and teams may require different support based on those phases..
Senior Delivery Managers will hold line management responsibilities for more junior members of staff, usually Delivery Managers and Business Analysts. They also will mentor and coach members of their project teams, regardless of their roles. Senior Delivery Managers will be active contributors to the Delivery Community of Practice at TPXimpact, where the delivery team share approaches, collectively address problems, and discuss best practices.
Senior Delivery Managers will also contribute to the growth of accounts, identifying possible opportunities for onsell and upsell. They will contribute to writing bids, pitching for new work, look for ways to highlight TPXimpact’s ability to deliver effectively, and contribute to long-term strategy of the organisations we work with.
