Job Description Summary

The Delivery Coordinator supports the Automation Delivery Lead in coordinating the day-to-day execution of automation delivery, with an initial focus on the Aurora programme. The role helps maintain integrated plans, transparent reporting, effective governance, and timely follow-up across business stakeholders, delivery partners, architecture, engineering, quality, security, validation, and operations.
While initially assigned to Aurora and automation initiatives, the role is designed as a flexible delivery coordination capability that may support DevOps & Automation and, based on business priorities, other Tech P&S teams. Working under the direction of the accountable Delivery Lead or initiative owner, the position enables disciplined execution without assuming the strategic ownership or end-to-end accountability of the lead role.

Job Description

Your Key Responsibilities: 

Your responsibilities include, but not limited to

• Support the Automation Delivery Lead or other accountable delivery owner in coordinating delivery activities across assigned programmes, projects, releases, and workstreams.

• Maintain integrated delivery plans, milestones, dependencies, action logs, risks, issues, decisions, change records, and governance documentation, ensuring information remains current and traceable.

• Coordinate day-to-day collaboration among business stakeholders, internal technology teams, delivery partners, and other third parties; follow up on commitments and escalate obstacles or decisions requiring lead attention.

• Prepare governance meetings, delivery reviews, status reports, dashboards, minutes, and decision materials, providing an accurate view of progress, forecast, scope, quality, costs, resources, and delivery health.

• Coordinate demand intake, mobilisation, delivery scheduling, testing, validation, release readiness, deployment, business adoption, and transition to operational support in line with the applicable delivery lifecycle.

• Track delivery-partner performance, resource commitments, deliverables, documentation, invoices or consumption where relevant, and knowledge-transfer actions; highlight deviations to the accountable lead.

• Support adherence to enterprise architecture, information security, GxP, validation, data integrity, quality, release, procurement, and financial-control requirements by coordinating evidence, reviews, approvals, and remediation actions.

• Identify opportunities to improve delivery routines, templates, reporting, tools, reusable assets, and ways of working, and help implement agreed improvements across assignments.

• Provide coordination support across DevOps & Automation and, when assigned, other Tech P&S teams, adapting to the governance model, delivery method, and priorities of each initiative.

What you’ll bring to the role: 

Essential Requirements: 

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Business, Project Management, Engineering, or a related discipline.

• Relevant certification or training in project delivery, agile methods, IT service management, or change management is advantageous.
• 5+ years of experience in enterprise IT, technology delivery, project or programme coordination, PMO, application delivery, platform operations, or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating complex technology initiatives involving multiple workstreams, stakeholders, and external delivery partners.

• Experience maintaining delivery plans, milestones, RAID and decision logs, governance calendars, status reporting, resource views, and delivery documentation.

• Understanding of end-to-end technology delivery, including demand intake, mobilisation, requirements, design, build, testing, validation, release, deployment, adoption, and transition to support.

• Experience working with Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid delivery methods and common delivery-management tools.

• Experience supporting outsourced service providers or distributed delivery teams, including tracking commitments, performance, deliverables, dependencies, and escalations.

• Knowledge of DevOps, automation, low-code, workflow, integration, release management, or platform delivery is advantageous; Appian or comparable automation-platform experience is beneficial but not essential.

• Awareness of enterprise architecture, information security, quality, GxP, validation, data integrity, and audit expectations in a regulated environment.

• Strong organisational, analytical, communication, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills, with close attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.

• Ability to work independently within agreed boundaries, exercise sound judgement, and escalate matters requiring strategic direction, approval, or delivery ownership.
