Senior Technology Delivery Manager

This is a unique opportunity to join the Chief Technology Office (CTO) as a Senior Technology Delivery Manager, playing a central role within Home Office Digital where strategy is translated into delivery.

In this role, you’ll coordinate delivery across multiple programmes and initiatives, bringing structure, pace and clarity to complex work. You’ll ensure priorities are translated into actionable plans, dependencies are actively managed, and outcomes are delivered at scale.

Working closely with delivery teams, architects, engineers and senior stakeholders, you’ll play a key role in aligning strategy, architecture and delivery across organisational boundaries. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on orchestrating delivery across teams, not just owning a single product or programme.

You’ll thrive in ambiguity, confidently managing competing priorities and supporting multiple delivery streams in a fast-paced environment. From tracking progress and surfacing risks early, to enabling effective governance and decision-making, you’ll help keep delivery moving and outcomes on track.

If you enjoy working at the centre of complex environments, influencing across teams, and turning strategic intent into real, deliverable outcomes, this is a high-impact role where you can make a difference.
