Fruition are currently recruiting for an experienced Delivery Manager to join a key client as part of their ongoing investment in their technology estate.

The role will take responsibility for driving a number of infrastructure-focused technology projects within a complex environment. The scope is broad and includes networking, telephony and Azure-focused workstreams.

This is a hands-on delivery role requiring someone who can bring together technical resources, establish strong project controls and governance, and ensure delivery is effectively planned and managed from outset through to completion.

Whilst this is not a hands-on technical position, you must be technically competent and comfortable working closely with infrastructure, engineering and architecture teams. You will need to understand the nature of the technical delivery, hold credible conversations with technical specialists and challenge where appropriate.

The Role

You will coordinate delivery across multiple technical workstreams, ensuring priorities, dependencies, risks and milestones are clearly understood and effectively managed.

A key emphasis of the role will be planning and governance. You will be expected to establish and maintain robust project plans, reporting structures, RAID management and appropriate governance controls, ensuring the fundamentals of good project management are consistently delivered to a high standard.

You will also work within an Agile delivery environment, helping technical teams maintain pace and focus whilst ensuring appropriate oversight and accountability remains in place.
