Role Purpose
You will be responsible for delivering customer projects, involved throughout the entire lifecycle of the software projects. You will work closely with the Engineering, Product and Commercial teams to scope the project, create and manage the JIRA plan and ensure delivery on time.
This role is for anyone with proven experience delivering software projects, keen to expand their experience in an agile deep tech start-up environment, with a focus on software development and deployment in an industry critical to a zero-carbon future.
Responsibilities
* You will be involved early in commercial negotiations to feedback on scope timelines and dependencies, working with the technical teams. Once the project is live, you will be responsible for communicating with the customer, organising meetings and workshops, tracking progress, working proactively with relevant stakeholders to make updates to the schedule and you will update senior management on progress.
* You will be required to have a detailed understanding of the project, including its aims and requirements and be quality driven.
* You will be adept at using JIRA and Confluence and will be expected to leverage automations to minimise project admin overhead and increase the speed at which we generate project insights. Changes to the project schedule are common and customers in our field act very dynamically.
* As a skilled Delivery Manager, you will be expected to minimize any potential setbacks from such changes by proactively seeking to understand the issues and dependencies.
* At every step you will be supported and empowered to make an impact.
* We are looking for someone excited to work with technical teams and customers to deliver exciting projects.
What You Will Do
* Have full ownership of delivering software products to your nominated customers.
* You will be involved from the early stages of setting up a new project to maintaining the JIRA plan with input from team leads and customers. You will identify resource gaps, track KPIs and budgets, adapt to changes in priority to ensure we deliver high quality solutions and on time.
* Engage with stakeholders to develop a clear view of business requirements, manage them and agree with the team leads which tasks will implement the requirements.
* Actively keep the plan updated, review estimates as and when new information about the project becomes available. Quantify risks and uncertainties in timing/resource projections.
* Agree project timings and sync your plans with the high-level plan. Integrate plan baselines, identify dependencies between projects, resource constrains and minimise the impact of delays.
* Support delivering the plan on time and ensure the tasks meet a high standard.
* Develop new processes and continuously improve the effectiveness of existing ones.
* Leverage JIRA automations to minimise project admin overhead.
* Identify and escalate risks. Maintain the risk register, work with the technical leads to mitigate or even eliminate risks before they can impact the project.
* Be involved in fault management and resolution. Work with Application and Support Engineers to fix customer issues in a timely manner.
* Work with Customer Success Managers to integrate identified pain points from the projects you manage into the Customer Delivery Processes
* Prepare and present reports to customers, tracking status, timing, issues and risks.
