About the Role
As a Digital Delivery Coordinator, you'll be the organisational heartbeat of our technical delivery teams - keeping projects moving, information flowing and activity running smoothly across a busy digital environment. You'll plan and track work, manage dependencies, coordinate technical resources and ensure documentation, reporting and governance are always sharp, accurate and audit-ready.
You’ll work across multiple technical workstreams, supporting deployments, testing phases, supplier activity and day-to-day operations. You won’t manage people, but you’ll influence widely - driving clarity, shaping meetings, escalating risks early and helping senior technical leads make informed decisions. This role is a brilliant launchpad into digital delivery or technical coordination. You'll gain exposure to infrastructure, applications, data, service management and supplier engagement, building a strong foundation for future progression in a modern, ambitious digital department. This is a fast-paced, varied role where your organisation, communication and problem-solving skills will make a visible difference from day one.
The ideal candidate will be a highly organised and proactive professional with a proven ability to coordinate complex technical and digital delivery activities across multiple concurrent workstreams. You will excel in fast-paced environments, confidently managing competing priorities, identifying risks early, and ensuring projects remain on track through effective planning, communication, and follow-through.
With experience working throughout the technical delivery lifecycle; including deployments, testing phases, and change control processes; you will understand how to support successful delivery while maintaining accuracy and governance. You will be comfortable collaborating with technical teams, suppliers, and a broad range of stakeholders, translating complex information into clear documentation, actionable plans, and meaningful management reports.
A strong communicator with excellent Microsoft 365 skills, you will be able to produce insightful dashboards and management information that enable senior stakeholders to make informed decisions. Detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and highly structured in your approach, you will bring clarity and consistency to delivery environments, helping teams work more efficiently and effectively.
Holding a relevant degree or equivalent professional experience, you will be motivated to build and develop a career in digital delivery, project coordination, or technical operations.
