• Proven experience in a Delivery Lead / Head of Delivery / Portfolio Delivery leadership capacity.
• Experience overseeing multiple workstreams and supporting several Delivery Managers simultaneously.
• Strong background in digital/technology delivery, ideally within complex public sector environments.
• Ability to influence, challenge and coach senior delivery professionals without direct line management responsibility.

• You must be available to start immediately or within a maximum of one week notice.
