About the role

We are seeking an experienced and commercially minded Delivery Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of technology and product projects across our client portfolio. In this role you will own the full delivery lifecycle — from discovery and scoping through to build, release, and retrospective — managing client relationships, commercial outcomes, and cross-functional teams throughout. The ideal candidate bridges the gap between business needs and technical execution, and is equally comfortable running a discovery workshop with a client as they are coordinating a sprint with a development team. While your primary portfolio sits across technology and product accounts, you'll work within a collaborative delivery team and will occasionally support cross-functional projects spanning marketing, growth, and brand — ensuring continuity and quality across the agency's full service offering.
