Head of Delivery Manager

Digital Consultancy - Enterprise

London - 3 days in the office

Salary: £90-105k

Are you ready to step up and take ownership of delivery excellence across high-profile enterprise projects?

We’re seeking a Head of Delivery Manager to lead a team of delivery managers while remaining hands-on with complex client initiatives.

This role is business-critical and ideal for someone who has already managed teams and projects but is looking for their next big step in leadership.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, coach, and develop a growing team of Delivery Managers (currently 3, scaling to 5).
• Take direct ownership of enterprise-level projects (50/50 split between management and hands-on delivery).
• Oversee greenfield builds, system migrations, and large-scale custom software development.
• Set and uphold delivery governance standards, ensuring budgets, timelines, and risks are proactively managed.
• Engage with senior stakeholders and C-suite, managing expectations with confidence.
• Escalate issues early, preventing risks before they become blockers.

What We’re Looking For (Non-Negotiables)

• 5+ years’ project/delivery management experience with proven success in consultancy or agency environments (in-house profiles won’t be considered).
• Track record leading people as well as projects – you thrive in coaching, mentoring, and developing teams.
• Strong governance skills, including budget/scope tracking and risk management.
• Experience delivering both system migrations (Azure → AWS valuable) and greenfield projects.
• Confident in enterprise-level stakeholder engagement and escalation.
• Comfortable working across teams of 50–100 people with multiple dependencies.

Why This Role?

• A rare opportunity to step into a Head of Delivery position with real impact.
• Blend of hands-on delivery and strategic leadership.
• Exposure to major enterprise clients and projects at scale.
• Weekly mentorship sessions with Group COO, ensuring growth and guidance.
• Competitive salary (£80–100k, up to £110k for exceptional candidates).
