Fruition are currently recruiting for an experienced Delivery Manager to join a key client working across a number of important technology and cyber security delivery initiatives.

The organisation requires a strong Delivery Manager who can bring structure, control and pace to technical delivery, ensuring projects are well planned, governed effectively and delivered through strong Agile processes.

This is a hands-on delivery role requiring someone who is technically competent, comfortable working closely with engineering, infrastructure and Cyber Security teams, and able to understand and challenge technical delivery without necessarily being the technical specialist themselves.

The Role

You will take responsibility for the successful delivery of technology and security-focused projects, working closely with technical teams, Cyber Security, stakeholders and other delivery functions to ensure work is effectively planned, governed and executed.

A key emphasis of the role will be establishing strong project controls and governance. You will be expected to ensure project plans, milestones, dependencies, risks, actions and reporting are maintained to a consistently high standard.

You will also play an important role in supporting strong Agile delivery practices, helping teams work effectively while ensuring the appropriate level of planning, oversight and governance remains in place.

The successful candidate will need previous experience delivering projects with a significant security element and be comfortable working directly with Cyber Security, InfoSec or security architecture teams. You do not need to be a Cyber Security specialist, but you must have a good understanding of the security environment and be able to confidently manage security-related requirements, risks, dependencies and delivery activities.
