Delivery Manager

About the role: A large housing association seeking an experienced Delivery Manager to drive the successful delivery of complex change programmes.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can bring structure, pace and clarity across multiple workstreams, teams and suppliers. You will coordinate delivery across digital, data, design, change and operational teams, ensuring plans are clear, risks are managed, dependencies are understood and delivery remains focused on outcomes.

The role requires someone who is pragmatic, resilient and confident working with senior stakeholders. You will need to challenge constructively, hold people accountable and keep delivery moving in a pressured, regulated environment.

This is not a traditional project tracking role. The emphasis is on delivery flow, integration, dependencies, readiness and outcomes.

Salary: -50,000

Location: Remote-first, with occasional travel to London or Yorkshire

Sector: Housing Association / Social Housing / Care

What you''ll do

• Lead delivery across assigned projects, workstreams or complex delivery streams.
• Maintain plans, milestones, RAID logs, dependency trackers and delivery reporting.
• Coordinate activity across digital, data, design, change, operational teams and suppliers.
• Manage blockers, hand-offs and dependencies to maintain delivery momentum.
• Work across Agile, Waterfall and hybrid delivery approaches.
• Partner with Product Owners to maintain scope, priorities and backlog readiness.
• Provide clear, insight-led reporting for programme leaders and senior stakeholders.
• Escalate risks early, with evidence, options and recommended actions.
• Support readiness, adoption, operational continuity and safe delivery.

What we''re looking for

• Proven experience as a Delivery Manager.
• Experience in housing associations, local authority housing, care services or suppliers into these sectors.
• Experience delivering change in regulated or operationally complex environments.
• Strong Agile, Waterfall and hybrid delivery experience.
• Excellent RAID, planning, dependency and governance management skills.
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders, sponsors and executives.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership and drive outcomes without extensive hand-holding.
• A pragmatic, solution-focused style rather than a process-heavy approach.
• Resilience and calmness under pressure.

Highly desirable

• Care technology experience, such as care systems, smart call, nurse call or similar platforms.
• Regulatory project delivery experience.
• Experience managing suppliers or software/system providers into housing, care or local authority environments.
• APM, PRINCE2, Scrum Master, SAFe or equivalent certification.

Key competencies: You will be successful in this role if you can:

• Take ownership and work independently.
• Keep delivery flowing across multiple teams.
• Build credible long-term relationships with senior stakeholders.
• Challenge senior leaders appropriately while maintaining trust.
• Balance delivery pace with risk, readiness and operational impact.
• Stay calm and effective in an organisation under pressure to deliver critical change.

Why apply? This is an opportunity to play a visible role in delivering important change across housing and care services. You will join a remote-first environment, with occasional travel to London or Leeds when collaboration or business need requires it.
