Delivery Lead

Are you a Delivery Lead who knows IT projects are as much about people as they are about plans? Someone who can move from a sprint review to a steering group, and add real value in both?
You have strong IT aptitude. You’re equally at home in waterfall and agile, comfortable running work in tools like Jira and Azure DevOps, and you know how to keep a team of talented consultants pointed at the outcome. Most importantly, you get people — the clients, the sponsors, and the many and varied personalities that make up every IT project.
This is a part-time role (20–25 hours per week), open to permanent part-time or contract, with flexible working.
