Delivery Manager required to join a digital consultancy in Glasgow, playing a key role in ensuring the successful delivery of work across a portfolio of clients. This is a broad delivery position where you'll help bring structure, control, and consistency to multiple concurrent workstreams, ensuring client commitments are met on time, within budget, and to a high standard.

The Company

This consultancy delivers cutting-edge solutions that help clients navigate complex challenges and drive business growth. With a focus on emerging technologies such as AI, cloud computing, and advanced analytics, the company empowers organisations to stay ahead of the curve in today's rapidly changing landscape.

Alongside this, they pride themselves on strong client partnerships, collaborative working, and a commitment to continuous improvement. The team works across a range of digital projects, combining modern technologies with effective delivery practices to ensure consistently high-quality outcomes.

You'll be joining a business that values clear communication and professional development, offering an environment where people are encouraged to grow and make a real impact.

The Role

You'll be responsible for overseeing delivery across a number of client accounts, ensuring work is planned, coordinated, and delivered to a high standard.

The role sits at the centre of delivery, bringing together internal teams and client stakeholders to keep work moving forward. You'll shape how work is approached, helping define scope, agreeing priorities, and making sure everyone is aligned on expectations, timelines, and outcomes.

Day to day, you'll be tracking progress, managing budgets, and making sure delivery stays on course. You'll spot potential risks early, address issues before they escalate, and step in when course correction is needed. There's also a strong focus on ensuring work is clearly defined before it begins, and that outputs meet expectations through to completion.

You'll work closely with delivery teams to translate requirements into actionable tasks, while keeping clients informed with clear and regular updates. You'll also maintain structure across delivery through tools such as JIRA and Confluence, alongside planning, documentation, and reporting, to ensure everything runs smoothly.

The Person

You'll have experience delivering digital or technology-focused work in an agile environment, ideally across multiple clients or workstreams at once. You're comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment and know how to balance competing priorities without losing sight of quality or deadlines.

A good understanding of Agile is important, along with experience facilitating core team activities such as daily stand-ups and sprint planning sessions and adapting your approach depending on the situation. You'll be confident working with a range of stakeholders, able to communicate clearly and bring both technical and non-technical audiences along with you.

You'll also bring a strong level of commercial awareness, understanding how work is estimated, tracked, and delivered within budget. You're someone who keeps a close eye on progress, knows when something isn't quite right, and acts early.

Above all, you're proactive, organised, and comfortable taking ownership, with a focus on delivering a great experience for both clients and internal teams.

The Offer

The salary is paying up to £45k with good benefits and work a hybrid model (3 days onsite in central Glasgow office). You'll have the chance to work in a growth-focused, innovative company that supports your professional development and offers plenty of opportunities to make a meaningful impact.

Our clients

Candidates

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow
