About the role:

We are looking for a proactive and self-driven Delivery Lead who will be responsible for the successful execution and delivery of project(s) as part of a team.

You are able to give constructive feedback and ensure that the project or initiative is moving in the right direction through collaboration. You have a positive, optimistic, yet realistic approach to your work and to pushing things forward. It’s a plus if you have a stronger expertise in areas like service design, or if you’re a more technically focused project manager or change manager. You create a pleasant working environment for your team and your client, where the work is ambitious and inspiring, yet also genuinely enjoyable.
