Service Delivery Manager - Project
Delivery Lead (200lw) – Defence & IT Security - UK Remote – £60,000 -
£70,000 + Benefits
Are you the person
everyone turns to when something needs organising and delivering? Have you
spent your career coordinating people, solving problems, managing competing
priorities and keeping projects moving when others are losing sight of the
objective? If so, we'd like to hear from you.
We're recruiting
on behalf of an established UK defence technology company that's growing
rapidly and delivering increasingly complex programmes across Defence and
National Security.
This isn't a role
where you'll inherit a polished PMO and spend your day updating spreadsheets.
It's a role for
someone who enjoys rolling their sleeves up, taking ownership and making things
happen.
You'll work
directly with the Head of Delivery, taking ownership of multiple customer
projects from initiation through to successful delivery. One minute you'll be
chairing a customer meeting, the next you'll be coordinating technical teams,
managing project risks, removing delivery blockers or helping shape a better
way of working.
The business is
growing quickly, so you'll also can help build and mature the delivery function
rather than simply operate within it. The client is far more interested in how
you operate than what your current job title says.
You'll probably
have experience in - Project delivery - Service delivery – Operations -
Technical programme support - Military capability delivery - Defence
engineering or technology programmes
Whether your
background is as a Yeoman of Signals, WO2, experienced Staff Sergeant or an
equivalent leadership appointment, we'd be keen to speak with you.

issues and project plans.
Coordinating
engineers, architects and technical consultants.
Leading customer
project meetings.
Producing project
documentation and reporting.
Building trusted
customer relationships.
Supporting bids
and future delivery planning where required.
Projects typically
range from around £70k to £1m+, with responsibility for several running
concurrently.

- Keeps projects moving - Builds confidence with customers - Brings calm when
situations become busy - Creates order where there isn't much structure - Gets
things done.

organisation and communication.
Understanding of
project governance, risks and delivery.

A formal project
management qualification would be beneficial but isn't essential if you've
developed strong delivery experience through your career.
This is an
opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of growth.
You'll have the
chance to influence how delivery is done, work alongside experienced technical
teams and genuinely shape the future of the delivery function.
