Delivery Manager

Delivery Manager – Operations & Transformation Consulting

Location: UK-based, with regular travel to client sites

Working Pattern: 4 days a week on-site

Type: Permanent

The Opportunity

We are partnering with an established UK management consultancy that specialises in delivering hands-on operational transformation and measurable performance improvement for major organisations across a range of industries.

Due to continued growth, they are looking for an experienced Delivery Manager to lead complex transformation engagements and work directly with clients to create sustainable improvements across their operations.

This is a highly delivery-focused consulting role. Rather than sitting at a strategic or advisory level, you will work closely with client teams to implement change, improve ways of working and coach managers to deliver measurable improvements in organisational performance.

You will engage with stakeholders ranging from senior executives through to front-line management, taking ownership of project delivery and ensuring transformation initiatives translate into tangible results.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of operational transformation and performance improvement projects.
• Take ownership of project outcomes, ensuring measurable and sustainable benefits are achieved.
• Work closely with senior client stakeholders to understand operational challenges and develop practical solutions.
• Coach and support managers to improve leadership behaviours, ways of working and team performance.
• Implement and embed new processes, management systems and operational practices within client organisations.
• Lead and develop project team members, providing regular feedback, coaching and support.
• Build trusted client relationships and identify opportunities for further improvement and future engagements.
• Work alongside client teams on-site to ensure changes are successfully implemented rather than simply recommended.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for an experienced consultant or transformation professional with a strong track record of delivering tangible change within complex organisations.

You will ideally have:

• Experience leading transformation, operational improvement or performance improvement programmes.
• Strong project and programme delivery experience within a consulting or client-facing environment.
• Evidence of delivering measurable business outcomes rather than purely strategic recommendations.
• Experience managing and developing project teams.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to engage individuals from C-suite executives through to front-line teams.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
• Experience influencing behavioural and organisational change.
• A pragmatic, hands-on approach to consulting and transformation.
• The flexibility to travel regularly to client sites across the UK.
• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle.
