Requisitos

The Role

We are looking for experienced Delivery Managers to join our vibrant Product practice, based at our Glasgow offices on a full‑time, permanent basis.

As a Delivery Manager, you will be accountable for end‑to‑end delivery of technology products and platforms for our clients. You’ll work closely with client stakeholders, engineering teams, and partner vendors to ensure outcomes are delivered on time, to quality, and to value, while continuously improving ways of working.

This is a hands‑on leadership role requiring strong delivery governance, stakeholder management, and the ability to lead teams through complex, multi‑vendor environments.

As a Delivery Manager, you will:

  • Demonstrate a proven ability to form, guide, evolve, support and motivate teams.
  • Recognise dysfunctional teams/organisations, understand the problems to solve and drive improvement.
  • Own and manage end‑to‑end delivery lifecycle, from mobilisation through to live service transition
  • Be accountable for delivery scope, schedule, budget, risk and quality across one or more workstreams
  • Lead cross‑functional, multi‑disciplinary teams including engineers, designers, analysts and architects
  • Operate confidently in complex, multi‑vendor environments, coordinating dependencies and resolving delivery blockers
  • Build strong, trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders and internal leadership
  • Apply Agile, hybrid or waterfall delivery approaches as appropriate, ensuring governance is proportionate and effective
  • Manage RAID, delivery plans, milestones, and reporting, providing clear transparency on progress and risks
  • Drive continuous improvement across delivery practices, team performance and client outcomes
  • Support business development activities including estimates, delivery plans and input to proposals
  • Mentor and coach team members, fostering high‑performance delivery cultures

Key Skills & Experience (Essential):

  • Proven experience in Delivery Management or Technical Programme/Project Management within technology delivery
  • Strong working knowledge of Agile delivery frameworks (e.g. Scrum, SAFe, Kanban) and traditional delivery models
  • End‑to‑end delivery experience across Design, Build, Test and Implementation phases
  • Demonstrable experience managing risks, dependencies and delivery governance
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills, including senior client engagement
  • Experience delivering within regulated or complex enterprise environments
  • Strong financial and commercial awareness, including budget and forecast management
  • Excellent communication, facilitation and leadership skills

Set Yourself Apart:

  • Experience working closely with Product Owners and Engineering Leads in product‑centric teams
  • Experience supporting or leading Steering Committees and Working Groups
  • Knowledge of service transition, live proving and operational readiness
  • Experience scaling delivery across multiple teams or programmes

What’s in it for you

At Accenture in addition to a competitive basic salary, you will also have an extensive benefits package which includes 25 days’ vacation per year, private medical insurance and 3 extra days leave per year for charitable work of your choice! 

Flexibility and mobility are required to deliver this role as there may be requirements to spend time onsite with our clients and partners to enable delivery of the first-class services we are known for.  

Closing Date for Applications: 31/08/2026

Accenture reserves the right to close the role prior to this date should a suitable applicant be found.
