As a Product Delivery Manager you will:

• work with Product Managers to support the delivery and continual improvement of large-scale, complex products such as our corporate website, and intranet
• create and manage clear, manageable delivery plans to achieve product goals, and apply project management methods appropriate to the needs of the project to enable delivery through multi-disciplinary teams
• build and empower product teams, ensuring they are motivated, collaborating, working well, and delivering with momentum
• communicate progress to stakeholders, and proactively identify and help resolve risks, issues, and other barriers to successful delivery
• contribute to the development of our product management and delivery practices as part of our user-centred design and delivery approach

• a degree (or equivalent experience) in a relevant subject area such as product or project management, or a related field with specialist knowledge of project management techniques and methodology acquired through additional learning or demonstrable experience within the industry

• experience and confidence using Agile product delivery techniques, with ability to contribute to building our capacity in Agile delivery and our user-centred design approach
• excellent organisation and planning skills and experience of dealing with conflicting demands, meeting challenging deadlines, and working under pressure
• excellent interpersonal skills to establish credibility and build effective working relationships with project teams, colleagues, and stakeholders
• highly developed communication negotiation, influencing, mediation, facilitation, and presentation skills

Working pattern will be Monday to Friday 37 hours per week.

During times of public health emergency, or other urgent business need, you may be required on a temporary basis to work your normal contracted working hours over 7 days including weekends, in order to meet the needs of the service.
