Digital Delivery Manager delivering end-to-end outcomes for complex digital and connectivity programmes
What I'm looking for
I’m a Digital Delivery Manager with a proven track record of delivering end-to-end outcomes across complex digital, connectivity, and public-sector programmes. I lead cross-functional teams in Agile, hybrid, and multi-vendor environments—taking delivery from early concept through implementation and operational handover. I focus on value-driven execution using KPIs, data insights, and performance metrics to inform decisions and realise business benefits.
In my current role, I lead end-to-end delivery across 5+ concurrent digital and connectivity workstreams, improving delivery predictability and achieving +90% on-time milestone delivery. I strengthened programme governance and delivery controls, managed programme-level RAID across 100+ items (improving resolution rates by 25%), and acted as the primary interface for 10+ senior stakeholders to align strategy with delivery priorities. I also delivered a SaaS implementation from discovery to adoption, coordinating vendors, technical teams, and business stakeholders to achieve go-live within planned timelines, while monitoring budget performance (+£1m) and improving KPI reporting visibility of progress, risks, and outcomes.
Previously, as a Project Management Officer, I improved governance, reporting, and strategic alignment for large-scale projects, producing risk, issue, and KPI reporting for senior and board-level stakeholders. I coordinated high-profile work involving 150+ stakeholders, and supported compliant delivery by handling Subject Access Requests (SARs) with legal stakeholders. Earlier, I built operational efficiency through structured planning and communication processes (reducing delivery bottlenecks by 15%) and drove continuous improvement by standardising delivery tools and templates to increase adoption, consistency, and assurance by 40%—and I bring a content-led perspective from freelance digital content work, where I achieved 3-5x YouTube view growth and 800,000+ TikTok views.
