We deliver high-profile and cutting-edge digital projects for household names across the public and private sectors. Softwire was founded on one simple idea: if we can create the best possible culture and working environment then everything else will fall into place. And it seems to be working - We were recently voted number 1 company to work for in the UK at the Best Company awards, and we have a loyal and growing client base who trust us with their hardest problems and their mission critical projects. We focus on creating a great culture and working environment and we are looking for people who share our core beliefs about what makes a great place to work: That if a job is worth doing, it's worth doing properly. That work should be fulfilling but can also be fun. That kindness matters and should be extended to employees and clients alike. That by being trusting and trustworthy as an organisation and as individuals we can dispense with tedious bureaucracy and rules. When you work with Softwire, you're not only becoming part of a team with in-depth technical skills and delivery expertise - you'll be working in a high-trust environment alongside skilled, kind, fun people who are passionate about creating amazing services and experiences that solve real problems. In brief We're looking for people who have a track record of successfully delivering bespoke software development projects in an agency setting; people who can own all aspects of that delivery: commercial,team, project vision, project delivery, and client management. We are looking for team-players who are experienced people managers, and whohave strong clientempathy and client management skills. We also valueexposure to pre-sales, and provide opportunities to make use of, or grow, pre-sales and account experience. In return, we can offer interesting projects with brilliant clients, high levels of autonomy and ownership, and strong - and stretching - management support. You'll have the opportunity to try new things - whether they be skills you're developing, or new initiatives that improve our processes or company culture. And you'll receive a competitive package and profit share whilst you do so. The role We arelooking for experienced Delivery Principals to lead a portfolio of projects and engagements for our Public Sector clients.Delivery Principals are accountable for the commercial, delivery and team performance of our projects and programmes of work. Delivery Principals report to (and work closely with) Delivery Directors, who are responsible for portfolio performance and account management of the clients.

You may do this on a programme of work spanning thousands of days of effort, or on a portfolio of smaller projects with independent delivery leads. In each case, the majority of your time will be value-adding, and chargeable to the projects. Accelerating the careers of others Delivery Principals are highly experienced people managers. They bring experience in forming and leading multi-disciplinary teams. They bring out the best in the people they're responsible for, both through strong line management of Delivery Leads, and by supporting the resourcing and progression of others on their projects.

Meeting prospective clients, devising project plans and technical approaches, preparing written proposals and in-person pitches. Thinking beyond your immediate remit on a project to understand how Softwire can make it a success and where else we might be able to provide value to a client. It may also include: Taking the lead on key sales bids, understanding clients' problems and shaping our response to them Attracting business to Softwire through your personal reputation in the industry -e.g.thought leadership, speaking at conferences, and personal networks. Youbring extensive experience of successfully delivering large software development projects within the public sector directly or via agency experience and a broad skillset that lets you understand and spot risks, and address issues in whatever areas a projectdemands. You have prior agency experience and are familiar with reconciling commercial and quality drivers in a client-focused environment. You have excellent client management and relationship building skills. You are used to getting things done to external timetables and can balance competing demands to progress both the strategic and the tactical. You possess strong expertise in the public sector, particularly in the discovery, alpha and beta phases. You have comprehensive knowledge of government standards and the user-centered design (UCD) approach and have participated in assessments by Government Digital Service (GDS) and/or the central digital and data office (CDDO). You also have experience in supporting others through these processes. You appreciate working autonomously within a supportive environment. We value the balance between life and work and want to provide the right conditions to enable you to be the best you can be. You are collaborative and want to create something enduring while having fun doing so. You are familiar with how software is created. You don't need to be able to write it yourself, but you can have informed conversations with technical team members, and understand the technical context and repercussions of project or scope decisions. Ideally, you can also help explain these concepts to less-technical clients in a way that keeps them empowered. Experience and qualifications A demonstrable track record of successfully delivering challenging projects / programmes. Experience working in a delivery leadership role within an agency, consultancyenvironment or direct government department Experience managing teams, with accountability for the work of 10+ onshore staff Strong knowledge of modern software engineering practice (SDLC) and an awareness of technical approaches and trends.
