Description

•       6–10 years’ experience, including 4+ years in technical project or delivery management within DevOps, cloud, platform engineering, or application development and maintenance environments.

•       Demonstrated ownership of delivery for a technical engineering team — not solely coordination or reporting on someone else’s plan.

•       Strong functional understanding of the modern delivery stack: CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure (AWS), containers and Kubernetes, infrastructure as code (Terraform), source control and branching strategy, and code quality and security tooling.

•       Ability to read a pipeline definition, follow an incident timeline, interpret monitoring data and challenge a technical estimate on its merits.

•       Working familiarity with Java, Node.js and Python application delivery patterns, sufficient to understand team constraints and dependencies.

•       Strong client-facing skills, with proven ability to convert technical updates into concise business-facing communication, reporting and dashboards.

•       Deep working knowledge of Agile/Scrum and ITIL: incident, problem and change management, service level management, risk tracking and governance routines.

•       Proven ability to define, capture and review KPIs and SLAs, and to drive corrective action with technical teams and stakeholders.

•       Experience managing a large-scale migration, upgrade or adoption programme affecting many teams, including the communication and long-tail management that entails.

•       Excellent written communication — status reports, decision records, escalation summaries and migration guides that people actually read.

•       Comfort operating with ambiguity and competing senior stakeholders, and the judgement to know when to decide, when to escalate and when to hold
