Senior Technology Delivery Manager

As a Senior Technology Delivery Manager within the Chief Technology Office (CTO), you will operate at the centre of Home Office Digital, coordinating delivery activity across multiple initiatives and programmes. You will bring structure, pace and clarity to complex work, ensuring delivery efforts are aligned, dependencies are actively managed, and outcomes are delivered to agreed timelines.

The CTO team provides central leadership and coordination across Home Office Digital, setting direction and enabling delivery at scale. In this role, you will work closely with delivery teams, architects, engineers and senior stakeholders to turn agreed priorities into executable plans, track progress, surface risks early, and keep delivery moving across organisational boundaries.

This is a hands-on delivery leadership role, focused on orchestrating work across teams rather than owning a single product or programme. You will be comfortable operating in ambiguity, managing competing priorities, and supporting multiple delivery streams to land outcomes in a fast-moving environment.

Operating across the digital and technology landscape, you will help ensure delivery activity is well-coordinated, transparent and outcome-focused, while enabling teams to navigate governance and assurance processes effectively.

What you will do

• Work across delivery, architecture and engineering teams to coordinate delivery activity, manage dependencies, and enable effective decision-making.
• Take responsibility for delivery of technology products and services, facilitating and coaching teams in using the most appropriate methodologies in complex, ambiguous situations. Facilitate structured approaches to problem-solving and competing user needs, continuously improving processes and performance.
• Support Architecture Communities of Practice (CoP), by helping to coordinate activity, clarify outcomes and maintain delivery momentum.
• Create and maintain realistic plans, keeping delivery on track within quality, cost, and time constraints. Remove blockers to success, managing stakeholders and engaging with governance as appropriate.
• Develop motivated, functioning teams, empowering collaboration and delivery while giving direction and constructive feedback. Monitor the profile and health of teams and work with them to resolve issues.
• Ensure that risks are identified, understood, and mitigated, involving specialists where necessary.
• Support architects and stakeholders to translate architectural risks and decisions into actionable delivery plans.
• Manage engagement with technical and non-technical stakeholders. Collect and use feedback to measure, develop and enhance stakeholder relationships and resolve issues.
• Act as a routine contact point for suppliers involved in delivery. Monitor supplier performance and help to resolve problems with suppliers.
