Software Project Manager – Software Delivery & Release Management – Internal Work As Well As Client Facing
Role Overview
A digital consultancy is seeking a proactive Software Project Manager to coordinate software delivery, keep teams focused and help projects move successfully from planning through to completion.
This is a blended role, it will initially be focused primarily on internal engineering projects and release management, with the opportunities then to take on external customer-facing projects over time. You will work closely with engineering teams to establish priorities, coordinate activities, track progress and ensure that everyone understands what needs to happen next.
These are traditional enterprise software delivery projects rather than SaaS implementations, so careful planning and coordination across each delivery phase are central to the role.
Why This Role
You will play a central role in bringing structure to engineering work, coordinating releases and helping teams meet their commitments. Each project typically lasts around a year, which will give you exposure to the full delivery lifecycle, from initial workshops and requirements capture through to deployment and go-live in a variety of different environments.
