  • Create and manage delivery plans, reporting progress clearly

  • Identify, manage and escalate delivery risks, issues and dependencies

  • Manage costs, budgets and commercial relationships with suppliers

  • Work across Agile and Waterfall delivery approaches

  • Remove blockers and enable teams to deliver effectively

  • Build strong relationships with stakeholders across HMRC and CDIO

  • Line manage and support Associate IT Delivery Managers

  • Coach teams and stakeholders in delivery management and Agile ways of working

  • Actively contribute to HMRC’s Delivery Manager community

  • Project and delivery governance, including planning and assurance
