These comprise two credit management businesses, a fund management operation, a software development company and a specialist legal group. We are a leading SME and leasing credit servicer, operating out of 10 European countries, and employing more than 1,750 people.
Working in ICT and reporting to the Head of Shared Services, this role is designed for a hands-on, results-driven assertive Technical Delivery Manager who thrives in fast-paced environments, cutting through ambiguity, and excels at driving accountability. You will tactically manage and own multiple ICT projects (e.g., data centre exits, legacy system decommissioning) from initiation to closure, ensuring technical teams deliver functional requirements on time, every time. Your focus will be execution: eliminating bottlenecks, maintaining rigorous RAID logs, and delivering clear, single-page status dashboards to stakeholders. This role demands a no-nonsense operator who eliminates excuses, escalates blockers ruthlessly, and enforces accountability through clear boundaries. This is not a strategic or portfolio role – you will own delivery, challenge excuses, and ensure technical teams understand tasks and consequences.

* Challenge: Hold technical teams accountable through daily stand-ups, task reminders, and direct follow-ups, Challenging vague answers or delays with solution-focused questions.
* Simplify Governance: Apply pragmatic change controls (e.g., 1-page impact assessments, not 20-page docs). Prioritise speed over bureaucracy. Produce concise, visual project dashboards (1 page max) highlighting progress, risks, and next steps, replacing spreadsheets with actionable insights.
* Problem-Solve: Cut through noise.Identify root causes of delays (e.g., skill gaps, unclear requirements) and propose fixes, such as training or process adjustments.For every risk or issue, provide solution options
* Communicate: Escalate missed deadlines immediately.Deliver clear updates to senior stakeholders, avoiding jargon, flagging risks early and insisting on decisions to keep projects moving.
