Challenge optimism bias and escalate early when delivery is at risk. Multi-Supplier & Team Leadership Coordinate delivery across multiple suppliers and internal teams, ensuring clear ownership and zero gaps. Enable engineering teams by removing blockers rather than adding process drag. Foster a delivery culture that values predictability, quality, and operational readiness. Agile, Lean & Assurance Alignment Apply Agile pragmatically using Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid approaches as appropriate. Ensure delivery aligns with GDS Service Manual, assurance gates, and NCSC expectations. Balance speed with assurance Financial & Commercial Awareness Track delivery against funding envelopes and call out burn-rate risks early. Support commercial governance, change control, and scope management. Ensure value is demonstrable, not implied. Essential Skills & Experience Proven experience delivering large-scale cloud or platform programmes in complex environments.

Comfortable working with cloud platforms (AWS) and understanding modern DevOps delivery models. Strong grasp of delivery metrics, forecasting, dependency management, and risk control. Confident communicator who can challenge senior stakeholders constructively. Experience working under security, compliance, and regulatory constraints. D esirable Experience Experience delivering or operating core cloud, shared platforms, or landing zones. Familiarity with public sector governance, GDS assessments, or cross-government platforms. Exposure to FinOps, platform reliability, or live service operations. Experience supporting migration programmes or large-scale onboarding. Behaviours & Ways of Working Outcome-focused: you care about what lands, not what was attempted. Comfortable with ambiguity and capable of bringing order without bureaucracy. Calm under pressure; credible when things go wrong. Willing to say "this won't land" early and back it up with evidence. What Success Looks Like Delivery plans are credible, visible, and trusted. Risks are surfaced early and actively mitigated. Suppliers deliver outcomes, not excuses. Core Cloud services land predictably and are operable from day one. Senior stakeholders trust your reporting even when the news isn't good.

Support development teams with troubleshooting, particularly in infrastructure, networking, and multi-tier application design. Serve as a subject matter expert for cloud services—especially AWS PaaS—while applying FinOps practices to ensure cloud cost transparency, optimisation, and efficient resource usage.
Create and maintain robust technical documentation for the infrastructure of the English platforms, including operational runbooks enhanced with predictive and AI-supported insights.
Stay engaged with developments in the SRE, DevOps, AIOps, and FinOps communities, continually introducing new practices and technologies to improve reliability, performance, automation, and cloud cost efficiency

About you
A passion for Site reliability engineering and driven to understand, anticipate, and counter platform related issues before they become problems and staying up to date with the latest technological trends and developments
Great communication allowing effective collaboration across technical leadership and various business stakeholders with the ability to present ideas and strategies clearly and persuasively.
Demonstratable soft skills in motivating, inspiring and leading a team (direct line management is not part of the roles remit)
Educated to degree level or equivalent and with a minimum of 5 years proven experience in a systems administration or dev-ops blended role.
Experience implementing technologies such as Terraform, Github Actions & Containerization/Orchestration e.g. Kubernetes & Docker
Expertise in Monitoring tools like New Relic, Grafana, Alert Manager and site24x7.
Have extreme knowledge of cloud computing infrastructure, especially using Amazon Web Services (EKS, ECS, RDS, Route53 etc.)
