GT is looking for an experienced Delivery Manager to take end-to-end ownership of software delivery across several client engagements, including Dedicated Team, Staff Augmentation, and Fixed Price projects.

About the Team

You will join GT’s Delivery team and report to the Head of Delivery.

The Delivery team is responsible for ensuring that GT’s client engagements achieve their business and technical objectives while maintaining strong project health, team engagement, client satisfaction, and commercial performance.

You will work closely with:

• Client stakeholders, Product Owners, and senior decision-makers

• Software engineers, QA specialists, designers, and other project team members

• Recruitment, People, Finance, and Account Management teams

• Business Analysts, architects, and technical leaders, depending on the engagement

About the Role

As a Delivery Manager, you will own delivery across several medium-complexity client engagements.

You will manage projects throughout their full lifecycle, from initial discovery and planning through execution, release, client acceptance, and closure. You will be accountable for keeping projects within the agreed scope, budget, timeline, resource, and quality expectations.

The role goes beyond traditional project coordination. You will work directly with client stakeholders to clarify business needs, transform them into clear and testable requirements, and maintain the product backlog when no dedicated Business Analyst is available.

You will also stay close to the client’s wider business context, identify risks and improvement opportunities, support pre-sales and estimation activities, and recognise areas where GT may be able to provide additional value.

Hands-on Fixed Price delivery experience is an essential requirement for this role. You should have independently managed at least one Fixed Price engagement end to end, including scoping, estimation, change control, and margin accountability.
