In brief

We’re looking for people who have a track record of successfully delivering bespoke software development projects in an agency setting; people who can own all aspects of that delivery: commercial, team, project vision, project delivery, and client management.

The role

We are looking for an experienced Delivery Principal with a strong track record of delivering complex software programmes for financial services clients spanning one or more of insurance, wealth management, and asset management gained within a consultancy environment.

As a Delivery Principal, you will lead a portfolio of projects and engagements and be accountable for the commercial performance, delivery outcomes, and team success across your work. You’ll be comfortable balancing commercial and delivery pressures, able to lead multidisciplinary teams, manage senior stakeholders, and translate technical complexity into clear, confident decisions that deliver lasting value for clients and their customers.

The key responsibilities of the role are:

• Delivering high value services to our clients: As a Delivery Principal, you are accountable for the success of projects.

You’ll be responsible for ensuring client satisfaction, while also meeting [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal]’s commercial goals, and ensuring a happy team.
• Accelerating the careers of others: Delivery Principals are highly experienced people managers. They bring experience in forming and leading multi-disciplinary teams. They bring out the best in the people they’re responsible for, both through strong line management of Delivery Leads, and by supporting the resourcing and progression of others on their projects.
• Generating additional business for [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal]: As [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal]’s most senior delivery staff, Delivery Principals are very capable in front of both existing and prospective clients. You should inspire confidence and impress not only through your expertise, but through seeing the bigger picture. You will look for opportunities to build and expand existing accounts.

Your skills & experience

You bring extensive experience of successfully delivering large software development projects within financial services in one or more of insurance, wealth management, and asset management directly or via consultancy experience. You have a broad skillset that lets you understand and spot risks, and address issues in whatever areas a project demands.

You have prior consultancy experience and are familiar with reconciling commercial and quality drivers in a client-focused environment. You have excellent client management and relationship building skills. You are used to getting things done to external timetables and can balance competing demands to progress both the strategic and the tactical.
