Technology Delivery Manager (Project Delivery Lead / Agile Delivery Manager) required to join a respected London-based Not-for-Profit / Membership Organisation in Central London. This is an exciting opportunity to become a key member of a growing technology team, taking ownership of technology delivery, business change and BAU services while helping to bring greater structure, momentum and collaboration across the small organisation.
Salary: To £70,000 + 12.5% non-contributory pension, annual bonus, private medical, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, Employee Assistance Programme and regular social events.
Location: Central London – Hybrid working (2 days office / 3 days home)
Environment: Innovative, collaborative and purpose-led company with a genuine investment in employee wellbeing and learning & development. You'll join a small Technology team where your ideas will make a real difference, helping to shape how technology is delivered across the business.
Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone currently working within a Charity, Membership Organisation or similar Not-for-Profit organisation who is looking for a senior, hands-on delivery role where they can make a genuine impact.
Working across Operations and Technology, you'll act as a key link between the business, engineers, analysts and third-party suppliers, taking ownership of delivery and ensuring work continues to move forward. You'll be someone who can look across a number of projects and priorities, understand what needs attention and take action without needing to be given every step.
This is a role for someone who naturally creates momentum, enjoys bringing people together and is comfortable taking ownership of ambiguous or complex problems. You'll help the existing Technology team work more cohesively, coordinate activity across different areas and ensure projects, change and BAU services continue to progress.
You'll also need to understand the bigger picture behind technology delivery. Rather than simply managing plans and timelines, you'll be interested in the why, helping stakeholders get from the initial problem through to the right solution and successful outcome.
You'll thrive in a collaborative, small-team environment where everyone contributes beyond their job title and where you can use your judgement, initiative and delivery experience to make a real difference.
If you're someone who enjoys rolling up your sleeves, bringing clarity to complexity and naturally looks for ways to take work forward, we'd love to hear from you.
