We are a software consultancy specialising in high quality software delivery, data-centric architectures, and building ambitious new bespoke software systems. We’re looking for Delivery Managers that can help us maintain highly-effective engineering teams and build excellent client relationships.
JUXT has a strong engineering-first culture and as a manager supporting our projects you must have an excellent understanding of the work of a software engineer. We are looking to grow our existing delivery management function to ensure our projects run smoothly and that new clients get what they need from JUXT.
About this role:
- You’ll be responsible for project delivery from inception, either to completion (for short missions), or through consistent ongoing development (for longer missions).
- You’ll be key to our hiring and growth, assessing engineers for their fit to projects.
- You’ll line manage engineers, building strong working relationships with your team.
- You’ll track key project details and report financial information for your projects.

- has strong technical knowledge and significant experience working as an engineer,
- has experience interviewing engineers and identifying high performers,
- has used many Agile engineering and planning techniques,
- can help organise engineering teams towards high productivity,

- can build strong client relationships based on good communication and trust,
- is adept at communicating with both technical and non-technical client stakeholders,
- has spent parts of their career working in large financial institutions e.g. banks, although this is not a strict requirement.

If you have experience as a Delivery Manager, Account Manager, or Software Engineering Manager in a business with high technical standards and excellent modern engineering, we want to speak with you. Alternatively, if you’re a software engineer with a talent for leading, building relationships, unblocking teams, and thinking about the bigger picture, and you’re looking to move into the management track, this role could be for you.
