LRQA is a leading global assurance partner. We help clients manage risk and build safer, more secure and more sustainable businesses through certification, inspection, cybersecurity and advisory services. Digital Transformation is modernising the technology, products and platforms that underpin these services, and predictable, outcome-led delivery is central to that effort.
The Senior Project Manager is a senior delivery role within the DSD/Universe programme, operating as a Delivery Manager inside agile, product-led squads. It is accountable for the end-to-end delivery of one or more products or workstreams, turning programme priorities and product goals into working software and realised outcomes.
The role runs delivery day to day: planning and running the squads’ work, maintaining delivery momentum, and managing dependencies, risk and change. It combines agile ways of working with the control and governance the programme requires, and measures progress by value delivered rather than activity completed.
This is a hands-on, outcome-driven role focused on enabling delivery teams rather than administering process. It reports to the Programme Lead, DSD, and works closely with Product, Business Analysis, Development, Architecture and Infrastructure/DevOps to deliver the programme’s priorities predictably and at pace.
Own end-to-end delivery of one or more products or workstreams within the programme, to agreed scope, time, cost and quality.
Plan and run the squads’ delivery, including sprint planning, backlog flow, release planning and delivery commitments, working with Product and the development teams.
Drive momentum and accountability across multi-disciplinary squads (Product, Business Analysis, developers, QA and specialist roles), keeping them aligned and removing impediments.
