Responsibilities

Manage the end-to-end delivery of multiple technical projects simultaneously, ensuring timelines, scope, quality, and budget are actively controlled.

Coordinate cross-functional teams including Solutions Architects, engineers, product specialists, vendors, and client delivery teams.
Drive technical delivery governance, including status reporting, RAID management, action tracking, and escalation.
Lead regular project ceremonies and forums (weekly delivery calls, checkpoints, SteerCo inputs, and readiness reviews).
Ensure delivery readiness by supporting scope definition, resourcing plans, onboarding of team members, and transition from pre-engagement into delivery.
Proactively identify and mitigate delivery risks and constraints, balancing client priorities with technical and operational realities.
Track and manage commercial and contractual considerations, including effort burn, change control, and alignment to agreed statements of work.
Maintain a strong focus on quality, predictability, and outcomes, ensuring deliverables meet agreed acceptance criteria.
Partner closely with internal stakeholders to ensure delivery aligns with Deploy standards, best practices, and ways of working.
Support continuous improvement by capturing lessons learned and contributing to the refinement of delivery frameworks and playbooks.
Manage bilingual stakeholder engagement across Japanese client teams and regional or global stakeholders.

Requirements

Strong background in technical project management, coordinating engineering, architecture, product, and third-party teams across complex delivery landscapes.
Demonstrated experience managing API-led integrations, platform implementations, or digital channel builds, with the ability to engage confidently on technical topics.
Solid understanding of software delivery lifecycles, delivery governance, and structured execution in both agile and hybrid delivery models.
Experience operating within regulated environments, with awareness of risk, compliance, and governance expectations (e.g. banking or payments).
Track record of managing delivery risk, dependencies, and change control across parallel workstreams.
Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate clearly and professionally with client, technical, and senior internal stakeholders.
Experience supporting or managing commercial aspects of delivery, including effort tracking, scope management, and change requests.
Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise effectively across competing demands and shifting client priorities.
