Senior Technology Delivery Manager

The Home Office Cyber Security team (HOCS) works with the various delivery portfolios, providing second line security assurance over design and architecture, and is a key part of the project governance process. Working with key stakeholders to create, maintain and govern the security enterprise architecture allows us to drive forward a consistent security posture across the Home Office estate and help secure systems critical to national security.

As a Senior Technology Delivery Manager, you will be responsible for delivering products within agreed timescales, to cost and quality standards. Depending on the product, you may be responsible for 2-3 smaller delivery teams, or alternatively a single delivery team to deliver a more complex/technical product. You will work in close partnership with Product Managers in order to deliver value against the product vision. You will work with senior stakeholders, effectively translating technical concepts and influencing where necessary.

You will be expected to use your experience and expertise to work with flexibility, selecting and applying appropriate delivery techniques based on the requirements of the delivery. You will be required to flex the delivery approach to get the best out of your teams, providing them with support and guidance to enable successful delivery.

What You'll Do:

• Translating a single product roadmap into one complex, or multiple delivery plans, considering the people and skills required for each delivery team and using delivery data to set milestones based on forecasts where possible.
• Delivering in line with the capacity and availability of the delivery teams, leveraging frameworks to find the right suppliers when necessary, and budgeting effectively for resourcing needs.
• Effectively managing risks, issues, and dependencies, acting on delivery data and adapting ways of working to mitigate risks.
• Forming a partnership with Product Managers to effectively influence relevant senior stakeholders, translating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Assessing the effectiveness across multiple delivery teams, engaging and motivating teams in different ways depending on their needs, and facilitating collaboration across delivery teams when required.

Essential skills:

• Creating and maintaining delivery plans that highlight forecasts/estimates (including financials) and confidence levels.
• Using experience of technology delivery and technical practices to help translate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Using your well-developed people skills to set individuals up for success and help create an effective team environment.
• Using previous experience, expertise and current metrics to identify, understand, and improve team delivery performance.
• Applying appropriate techniques taken from different methodologies to effectively deliver successfully within a given context.
• Acting as the Delivery Manager for one or more delivery teams (including commercial 3rd party suppliers) through a complete delivery lifecycle (prepare, deliver, improve).
• Delivering cyber security improvements in large and complex organisations and familiarity with cyber security frameworks such as NIST-CSF and Cyber Assessment Framework (or equivalent).
