Team/Division Overview

The Hwb programme is responsible for delivering safe, inclusive and bilingual national digital education services for Wales. The team ensures Hwb services support the Curriculum for Wales, protect learners’ rights, safety and wellbeing, and promote equitable access to digital tools across schools. Through strong governance, supplier management and assurance, the team ensures services are secure, resilient and compliant, while supporting the responsible introduction of new digital technologies that enhance teaching and learning.

Job Role

This post is mapped to the Senior Delivery Manager role/level in the DDaT Profession Capability Framework. Follow the link to understand the role and the required skills.

The Senior Hwb Cloud Delivery Manager is responsible for leading and overseeing cloud services delivered through Hwb’s managed service providers (MSPs), with a primary focus on Google, Microsoft, the provisioning and authentication service, cyber and other large projects. The role ensures that suppliers deliver secure, stable, and a high‑quality national digital service to schools across Wales.

A core part of the role is the end‑to‑end management of supplier & service performance, including contract oversight, service reviews, escalation handling, and ensuring suppliers meet agreed SLAs, NFRs, security expectations, and roadmap commitments. The post holder acts as the central governance point between technical architects, delivery teams, MSPs, and wider stakeholders to ensure alignment, transparency, and proactive risk management across all cloud services.

The role provides strategic leadership in change management, representing cloud services at the Change Advisory Board. This includes scrutinising MSP change requests, validating risk assessments, ensuring compliance with safeguarding and security requirements, and protecting the operational stability of Hwb services.

The post also leads risk, issue, and quality assurance processes across MSP‑delivered services, ensuring new developments, domain/tenant changes, and feature releases are robust, tested, and meet the needs of learners and practitioners. The role supports incident response and ensures lessons learned are embedded into MSP practices and future service planning.

Through strong supplier leadership, technical governance, and cloud service assurance, the Senior Hwb Cloud Delivery Manager enables the safe, ethical, and reliable use of cloud technologies across Welsh education, ensuring MSP‑delivered tenants/domains continue to evolve and support the Curriculum for Wales and the digital needs of schools.

Ensure each change is thoroughly evaluated for its potential impact on users and the overall service, balancing the need for innovation and improvement with the imperative to maintain service continuity and minimise disruption to schools and stakeholders.
Collaborate closely with technical teams, suppliers, and user representatives to gather feedback, assess risks, and ensure all changes align with the Hwb Programme’s objectives and compliance requirements.
Lead and contribute to clear, accurate communications across established Hwb channels, ensuring schools, LAs and partners understand changes, risks, incidents and service updates.
Oversee suppliers to make sure risk and issue processes are correctly implemented, with all technical, data, and supplier risks tracked and reported. Using these insights identify ways to enhance service delivery.
Maintain end‑to‑end data security and UK GDPR compliance across your area of responsibility and feeding into the compliance manager, enabling the service owner to assess, risk posture, and related assurance and accreditation activities more holistically.
Provide support and guidance during major incidents, ensuring timely triage, escalation, communication and resolution across suppliers, internal teams and stakeholders and feeding into the Hwb incident manager.
Ensure lessons learned feed into service improvements, technical documentation and future delivery planning whilst managing supplier outcomes to continuously improve.
Work with suppliers to ensure programme data remains accurate and up to date for effective decision-making. Promptly report and resolve errors to minimise user impact. Gather and interpret data from multiple sources to support senior leadership reports and collaborate with the adoption and engagement team to drive increased Hwb service adoption.
