About the Role
As Senior Delivery / Project Manager at Reuters, you will own end-to-end delivery of complex programmes and initiatives, ensuring alignment with measurable outcomes, defining integrated delivery plans, and evolving delivery approaches with AI-accelerated development. You will build strong stakeholder relationships, facilitate decision-making, translate strategic objectives into executable plans, and ensure compliance with Reuters standards.
Responsibilities
- Own end‑to‑end delivery of complex programmes and initiatives, with accountability for scope, schedule, budget, quality, and business value.
- Ensure delivery activities remain aligned to measurable customer, audience, product, and business outcomes, not only plan execution.
- Define and maintain integrated delivery plans across multiple teams, vendors, and geographies, including active management of internal and external dependencies.
- Evolve delivery approaches responsibly as AI-accelerated development practices mature, maintaining appropriate controls and human accountability.
- Build strong, trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Architecture, QA, Editorial, Commercial, Finance, Legal, and Operations.
- Facilitate decision-making, manage trade-offs, resolve delivery issues and dependencies, and escalate clearly when decisions or support are required.
- Work closely with Product Managers and business stakeholders to translate strategic objectives into executable delivery plans, milestones, dependencies, and measurable outcomes.
- Communicate delivery status clearly and consistently, including concise executive updates and escalations where required.
- Ensure delivery complies with Reuters standards and processes, including security, privacy, operational readiness, change management, and responsible AI use.
- Identify and actively manage technical, delivery, operational, and partner risks, with clear mitigation and contingency plans.
- Champion quality-first delivery, ensuring appropriate testing, review, release controls, resilience, and editorial trust considerations are maintained.
- Apply Agile and Lean delivery practices, pragmatically tailored to context and risk whilst supporting backlog refinement, release planning, and prioritisation in partnership with Product Management.
- Drive a consistent delivery cadence and operating rhythm across teams, using delivery, operational, and product metrics to support evidence-based decision-making.
Requirements
- Proven experience delivering large-scale, product & technology-led programmes in complex, cross-functional, matrixed environments.
- Strong background in delivery / project management, with a solid understanding of modern software development practices and architectures.
- Strong senior stakeholder management and influencing skills, including the ability to build alignment and drive execution without direct authority.
- Experience operating in Agile delivery environments, with the flexibility to adapt approach based on context and risk.
- Excellent communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills, with strong judgement and decision-making capability.
- Strong commercial awareness and business acumen, with the ability to learn complex domains quickly and connect delivery activity to customer, audience, and business outcomes.
- Practical experience using AI-enabled tools to support planning, estimation, dependency analysis, documentation, reporting, insight generation, and quality workflows while maintaining human accountability, governance, and transparency.
- Ability to evolve delivery practices towards AI-native ways of working, using tools such as Azure DevOps, Jira-style backlog systems, Microsoft 365, Teams, reporting dashboards, analytics platforms, and relevant AI-enabled delivery tooling to automate, augment, and improve repeatable delivery activities.
