Sense, Birmingham, England, United Kingdom
About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced and forward‑thinking Technical delivery manager (data and cloud) to join our growing Technology team. This key leadership role is part of Sense’s technology transformation programme, responsible for delivering modern, secure and scalable data and cloud solutions that power the organisation’s digital future.
You’ll lead on the delivery of projects that underpin our data‑driven strategy – from implementing a new data platform to managing cloud migrations and optimising infrastructure. Working closely with stakeholders, suppliers and technical teams, you’ll turn complex requirements into practical, high‑quality solutions that improve efficiency and support better outcomes for the people we serve.
This role offers the opportunity to shape how we use technology to build a sustainable, secure and future‑ready digital ecosystem. It is based at our Selly Oak office, with hybrid working (2–3 days per week in the office). Occasional travel to other Sense locations, including London and Loughborough, and supplier offices may be required.

* Oversee the implementation of a modern data platform (integration, storage and analytics) in collaboration with governance and analytics teams.
* Drive cloud migration and optimisation initiatives (primarily Microsoft Azure).
* Deliver automation and data workflows using low‑code/no‑code or data pipeline tools.
* Ensure solutions are secure, compliant and resilient in partnership with architecture and security teams.
* Build strong relationships with business leaders and service managers, acting as a bridge between technical and non‑technical audiences.
* Manage suppliers and partners to ensure value for money and performance excellence.
* Promote best practice in governance, documentation and project delivery standards.
* Support Sense’s Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation and compliance across infrastructure, data and cloud environments.
About You
* Experienced in delivering complex data, cloud or enterprise technology projects.
* Knowledgeable in Microsoft Azure and modern data platforms (e.g. Data Factory, Synapse, Power BI).
* Skilled in stakeholder and supplier management, with the ability to communicate clearly across all levels.
* Organised, proactive and driven by continuous improvement.
* Passionate about using technology to enable better care, inclusion and empowerment.
Desirable experience and qualifications
* Experience in the charity, social care or public sector.
