Manchester/Hybrid
Find out exactly what skills, experience, and qualifications you will need to succeed in this role before applying below.
As a Delivery Manager, I suspect you will want to work with top-class engineering and product squads, so you can ship some really cool features.
You’ll also probably want to work on a platform that hasn’t been iterated to the point of no return over the last twenty years.
You may also want to work for a company who are people-focused, committed to inclusivity and promoting psychological safety.
Then again, if you don’t want to work as a Delivery Manager on a scaling platform with global ambitions, it’s probably worth stopping reading here.
The client in question have a Project Delivery team of ten who are supported by a core product function and an abundance of talent in Engineering, UX, Digital Analytics and Data.
They have a range of squads looking at Marketplace, eCommerce as well as Customer Experiences, with in excess of 50m unique visitors to the site every year.
Essential Skills:
- At least three years working within the delivery of tech projects (web, app, platforms)
- Used to dealing with cross-functional delivery teams (Engineering, QA, UX, Analytics)
- People-focused mindset; you should be someone who enjoys getting the most out of people and get satisfaction from progress
- Practical Agile experience, and comfortability with multiple methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, Lean, etc)
- Excellent stakeholder management skills – you should be able to have the hard conversations just as much as the nice ones
Desirable Skills:
- A decent understanding of technical concepts; able to hold a conversation around backend services or APIs, for example (not essential, by any means).
- Understanding of eCommerce journeys or payment gateways
- Experience managing project budgets effectively
In return, you’ll get the opportunity to work with an awesome business who are really going places. Salary is broadly up to £60k for this role with a 15% bonus, 25 days holiday (and the ability to buy/sell), plus many other benefits.
