Technical Delivery Manager
About Us
ClearRoute is an engineering consultancy bridging Quality Engineering, Cloud Platforms and Developer Experience. We help enterprises reliably bring high-impact digital products to market faster, cheaper, and safer, working with technology leaders facing complex business challenges.
We take as much pride in our people, culture, and work-life balance as we do in making better software. We’re not just making better software; we’re making the process ofSoftware better. Collaborative, entrepreneurial, and dedicated to problem-solving, we bring the step change our customers need to sustain innovation. Our values challenge us to do our best for ClearRoute, our customers, and most importantly, our team. This is an opportunity for you to build the organization from the ground up, use your voice to drive change, and help transform organizations and problem domains.
The Role: Technical Delivery Manager
At ClearRoute, the Technical Delivery Manager serves as the operational backbone of an engagement, responsible for running governance, managing risk, coordinating delivery teams, and aligning clients and ClearRoute.

Key Responsibilities
- Establish and run the Delivery Playbook governance structure and cadence, including:
- Kickoff, planning, execution, and closure stages
- Facilitate communication between client and ClearRoute, while maintaining a clear view of:
- Who is working on what
- Stakeholder mapping
- Capture delivery data (e.g., RAG status, risks, and insights) for governance reporting
- Bi-weekly and monthly delivery reviews
- Manage engagement risk to protect ClearRoute’s interests
- Identify and decouple dependencies
- Coordinate workstreams
- Coach the team
- Ensure quality of deliverables and adherence to Agile practices
- Implement the Delivery Health Check Toolkit regularly to gauge team health and performance
- Oversee engagement closure, including:
- Sign-off of deliverables
- Engagement reviews
- Capture case studies and intellectual property (IP)
