Technical Delivery Manager / Software Delivery Manager

Job description

About the Role

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:
• Agile / Scrum methodologies
• Software development lifecycle
• 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

Not Suitable For

• Pure Project Managers without technical involvement
• Candidates without hands-on experience working with development teams
• Non-software or non-technical delivery backgrounds
