THE ROLE

We are seeking a Delivery Manager (early-career) to bring structure and accountability to how the Technology & Digital Services (TDS) team delivers software, infrastructure, and vendor-led projects. This is a cross-functional role that sits at the heart of TDS delivery, coordinating across internal engineering squads, Product Managers, architects, and third-party vendors to help ensure that projects are delivered on time, to standard, and without disruption to the business.

You will work closely with the India-based Release Manager, supporting day-to-day release priorities and pipeline standards, and helping to coordinate delivery activities across both teams. You are not expected to manage squads directly, that is shared with the Scrum Master and Product Managers, but you will be the person who helps ensure everyone is aligned, dependencies are managed, and nothing falls through the cracks.

This is a role for someone who thrives in complexity, can support internal teams and external vendors to stay on track (even without direct authority), and can translate technical delivery status into clear communication for project stakeholders.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Delivery Coordination & Project Management

• Plan, coordinate, and track delivery across concurrent Digital Transformation workstreams and BAU changes, maintaining a clear and consolidated view of progress, risks, and dependencies at all times.
• Work closely with Technical Leads, Architects, and Product Managers to ensure delivery is on track, proactively surfacing blockers and facilitating their resolution without taking over squad-level ownership.
• Help define and communicate what teams need to deliver in order for work to be considered ready to enter the CI/CD pipeline, working in alignment with the Definition of Ready and Definition of Done standards maintained by Product Management.
• Support Product Managers in managing coordination overhead across workstreams, acting as a force multiplier for delivery capacity within TDS.
• Collaborate with the data capability and Platform Owner to ensure data-related delivery workstreams are appropriately integrated into the broader delivery schedule.
• Maintain accurate delivery documentation, including project plans, RAID logs, and status reports, ensuring stakeholders always have a clear and honest picture of delivery health.

Vendor & Third-Party Delivery Management

• Ensure that third-party vendors adhere to TDS release processes, quality gates, and delivery standards, monitoring compliance and escalating issues within the delivery lifecycle.
• Coordinate vendor delivery activities within the broader delivery schedule, managing dependencies between internal and external workstreams to avoid conflict or disruption.
• Monitor vendor delivery performance and raise concerns early to the relevant Product Manager and the Engineering Lead, providing clear evidence and suggested actions.
• Apply structured project and delivery management approaches (e.g. stage gate processes) where vendors operate outside of an agile framework, ensuring appropriate governance and delivery controls are in place.

Release Oversight & Pipeline Standards

• Provide day-to-day support to the India-based Release Manager on release priorities, pipeline standards, and process compliance, working closely with key delivery and technical leads across both roles.
• Support release readiness and go/no-go activities by gathering inputs and ensuring criteria are tracked, in partnership with Head of Design & Engineering and relevant Technical Leads, ensuring that all delivery and quality criteria are met before any release proceeds to production.
• Support the ongoing improvement of the CI/CD pipeline and release ways of working, identifying gaps and proposing practical process updates as the capability matures.
• Ensure that release processes and standards are understood and consistently followed by all internal teams and vendors.

Incident Management

• Coordinate incident resolution when release-related or production issues arise, acting as the central point of contact across engineering teams, vendors, and architects to drive swift diagnosis and remediation.
• Ensure all incidents are properly documented and reviewed as part of a continuous improvement process, feeding lessons learned back into delivery and release standards.

Architecture & Technical Governance

• Build sufficient understanding of the organisation's architecture, including products, software, data, cloud, and security, to coordinate delivery effectively across technical disciplines.
• Work closely with the architect community (system, data, cloud, enterprise, and security architects) to help ensure that delivery decisions respect architectural standards and constraints.
• Escalate technical risks or architectural concerns identified during delivery to the appropriate architect or the Engineering Lead.

Stakeholder Communication & Reporting

• Provide regular, consolidated delivery and release status updates to the Head of Design & Engineering and wider TDS leadership.
• Support and facilitate cross-team delivery forums and release planning sessions, ensuring the right people are in the room and that decisions are made efficiently.
• Contribute to CAB meetings, providing accurate and timely information on upcoming releases to support informed change advisory decisions.

SKILLS & COMPETENCIES

To be successful in this role, you will demonstrate:

• Strong delivery management skills, with the ability to coordinate complex, multi-team environments involving internal squads and external vendors.
• Comfortable engaging with architects and engineers on software, infrastructure, and cloud topics, with the ability to understand delivery impacts and ask the right questions without needing to be a practitioner.
• Good understanding of agile delivery practices, with experience working alongside Scrum Masters and Product Managers in a cross-functional squad model, including sprint-based release cycles and continuous delivery practices.
• Working understanding of structured project management methodologies, particularly in the context of stage gate processes and vendor delivery governance.
• Strong influencing skills, able to encourage internal teams and vendors to work to agreed standards without direct line management authority.
• Highly organised, with strong planning, prioritisation, and risk management skills across concurrent workstreams.
• Clear and confident communicator, able to translate technical delivery status into plain language for non-technical stakeholders.
• Resilient and pragmatic, comfortable operating in a maturing delivery environment and driving improvement incrementally.
• Delivery focus with strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Passion for sustainability and the mission to lead the transition to clean energy.
• Commitment to NextEnergy Group's values: be a leader, build trust, be responsible, be innovative, and 'bring your alpha'.

EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS 

• Minimum of 3 years of experience in a delivery management or technical project management role within a software or technology delivery environment.
• Proven track record of coordinating delivery across internal engineering teams and third-party vendors simultaneously.
• Experience working in an agile delivery environment, with a strong understanding of how delivery management integrates with squad-based ways of working, including sprint-based release cycles, continuous delivery practices, and supporting release planning across one or more agile teams.
• Working understanding of software architecture, cloud infrastructure, and data platform concepts, sufficient to coordinate effectively across technical disciplines.
• Familiarity with structured project management methodologies (e.g. PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent), particularly in the context of stage gate processes and managing vendors operating outside of an agile framework.
• Experience working with Azure DevOps or equivalent tools for project tracking and delivery coordination.
• Familiarity with Change Advisory Board (CAB) processes and how delivery and release management feeds into change governance.
• Experience managing or providing direction to geographically distributed teams is highly desirable.
• Experience working in a regulated industry (e.g. energy, finance, utilities, or similar) is desirable.
• The right to work in the UK

WHAT WE OFFER 

• A busy role in a supportive team, with plenty of opportunities to learn
• International scope – we operate in over 8 countries
• Hybrid working – we will need you in the central London (Mayfair) office at least twice a week, but you will normally be able to work remotely for the remainder of the week

At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That's why we need diverse people from all gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

Teamworking for the planet

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how:

Our way of working enables us to treat our customers as individuals. We understand their needs in a personal and relevant way, resolving their queries as quickly as possible; we call this Account Management.

We're working together in squads with the same zero-carbon goal in mind; it's not just a way of working - it's a culture and a mentality. Squad life is all about self-managing as a group and making decisions together.

With Plan Zero at front of mind, we're all about making things better, looking for opportunities to deliver customer value in a constantly evolving landscape. Squads are encouraged to try innovative approaches, learning and adapting quickly are core to our development culture.

We embrace challenges, continuously provide feedback and pro-actively seek opportunities to improve, innovate, and progress towards a zero carbon future.

This role in a nutshell:

As a Zero Carbon Living Advisor, your role is to provide consistently outstanding service to OVO’s customers across the entire customer lifecycle; this will include some of OVO’s most vulnerable customers. You serve to solve, ensuring customer’s needs are met whilst informing and educating on our Plan Zero mission and connecting them with products and services that support home decarbonisation. This is a telephony based role so you’ll be resolving customer inbound queries through calls, and some emails.

Your key outcomes will be:

• Engaging with OVO’s customers, communicating with passion across phone, and occasionally via email.
• Quickly understand the root cause of customer contact, taking ownership for solving queries first time to prevent repeat contact.
• Coach your teammates in areas where you have a deeper level of knowledge or skill - this might be to help answer a customer query in the moment or to enhance the overall knowledge across the squad.
• Take ownership for the success of the entire squad. We believe the strength of the squad is each individual advisor, but the strength of each advisor is the squad.
• Autonomously manage your day, ensuring the overall objectives of the squad are achieved.
• Prepare, attend and actively contribute at squad meetings as appropriate.
• Identify and implement continuous improvement efforts in both squad ways of working and customer experience.
• Be an OVO ambassador, promoting our range of products & services to customers.
• Be empowered to have strong conversations to promote our products & services that we offer to our customers to help promote a Zero Carbon Living.
• Take accountability for your own development and using the tools provided to allow yourself to have strong conversations around our new and existing products.

You’ll be successful in this role at OVO if you…

• Enjoy working in a fast paced customer service environment, and have a real passion for providing outstanding customer service and an eye for continuous improvement.
• Demonstrate our OVO values and be an advocate of Plan Zero.
• Have experience of cross selling.
• Enjoy working as part of a team but also thrive independently.
• Are a brilliant communicator, particularly on the phone. You’re comfortable talking to wide range of people about a variety of queries.
• Have a passion for helping and supporting vulnerable customers.
• Are strong at showing empathy, understanding and compassion to our customers’ circumstances. At times you may need to have in-depth and sensitive conversations with customers.

Let’s talk about what’s in it for you

As well as a base salary of £25,950 which rises to £26,770 once you reach Level 2 (usually after 6-9 months but depends on each individual). You’ll also be eligible to qualify for a monthly incentive which is based on squad achieving performance measures.

We also offer plenty of green benefits and progressive policies to help you feel like you belong at OVO…and there’s flex pay.  It’s an extra 9% of your salary on top of your core pay to use as you like. You can take it as cash, add to your pension, or choose to spend it on a huge range of flex benefits.

Here’s a taster of what’s on offer: 

For starters, you’ll get 34 days of holiday (including bank holidays).

For your health
With benefits like a healthcare cash plan or private medical insurance depending on your career level, critical illness cover, life assurance, health assessments, and more

For your wellbeing
With gym membership, gadget, travel and cyber insurance, workplace ISA, will writing services, DNA testing, dental insurance, and more

For your lifestyle
With extra holiday buying, discount dining, culture cards, tech loans, and supporting your favourite charities with give-as-you-earn donations

• A high degree of autonomy and a preference for collaborative peer reviews and documentation.
• Experience working in cross-functional teams, with a strong foundation in mathematics, logic, or statistical modelling to support rigorous problem-solving would be advantageous.
• Exposure to the healthcare sector or other regulated environments (e.g., ISO 13485, MDR, SaMD), along with familiarity in areas such as Kotlin, advanced data visualisation, or MLOps would be highly beneficial.
