The role

Are you a flexible and experienced leader looking for a hands-on, client-facing role in a growing software consultancy?

Scott Logic builds bespoke, business-critical technology solutions for some of the world’s most high-profile organisations. The business is expanding rapidly and we are seeking a dynamic and engaging Delivery Principal to lead the shaping and delivery of complex client projects and programmes.

As a Delivery Principal, you will lead large-scale projects with a focus on achieving client outcomes, developing senior client relationships (at the C-suite level) and demonstrating personal value through effective delivery leadership. Your primary responsibilities include defining project delivery road maps, hands-on management of complex projects with multiple work streams, shaping solutions within a pre-sales context, and building strong partnerships with clients.

You’ll be surrounded by smart, highly capable people in a collaborative environment that encourages helping and developing others by sharing knowledge and experience. You’ll be as passionate as we are about delighting our clients with high-quality, well-engineered technology solutions that solve business problems and deliver lasting client value. We take an innovative and agile approach to delivery, underpinned by solid development practices using a wide range of modern technologies.

This is a client-facing role which combines strong leadership attributes working across all dimensions of the consultancy lifecycle, including pre-sales, commercial, relationships, technology, delivery and people.

What you’ll do:

  • Lead the delivery of large-scale, complex technology projects for clients, or lead a portfolio of client engagements
  • Develop and maintain senior client/partner relationships
  • Contribute to the development of innovative propositions, ways of working and other thought leadership collateral
  • Create compelling proposals for clients, aligned to our value propositions
  • Work with Product Owners and Solution Architects to shape and deliver technology solutions for clients
  • Lead on pre-contract work, including deal shaping and writing Statements of Work
  • Demonstrate hands-on expertise in managing software development projects using Agile methods, as well as having a good understanding of Waterfall-based delivery and associated pitfalls
  • Team leading, with proficiency in the management and motivation of high-performing software development teams, including distributed teams
  • Take responsibility for project financials to achieve targeted financial results
  • Undertake line management of assigned consultants, handling performance feedback and annual review processes
  • Contribute to the communities of practice and development of assets (e.g. offerings, white papers, blogs, delivery toolkits, learning curricula etc.)

It would also be great if you have:

  • Previous experience with a technology consultancy
  • Strong appreciation of modern software engineering and associated development technologies and the full software development lifecycle, ideally with a hands-on software development background
  • Ability and willingness to travel to other Scott Logic offices as well as client sites within the UK and overseas, as required
  • Previous experience of working in a dynamic, fast-moving environment
  • A relevant university degree
  • Experience of working in the public sector or financial services
  • An interest and proven track record in thought leadership activities
