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. In this role, you will take ownership of project planning and execution: scope, time, budget. You’ll get to combine your project management expertise with strong customer relationship-building skills and apply your understanding of the business and technology landscape to build new digital products and enterprise solutions. You also drive process improvements, boost team efficiency, and help create a collaborative, high-performing environment.

At Futurice, we believe that a modern delivery role involves taking responsibility for many aspects and for many people. You have a natural (or learned) ability to take ownership of tasks, dig into things you don’t yet know, and drive matters forward systematically. You build trust with those around you—your team, your client, your Futurice colleagues and other stakeholders. 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.
