Pay of £57,946, plus 28.97% employer pension contributions, hybrid working, flexible hours and great work-life balance. Are you ready to deliver complex, high profile digital projects that modernise some of the UK's most important public services? As a Senior Digital Project Manager, you'll join DWP Digital's delivery community - a team responsible for leading large scale technology change and modernisation across one of the biggest and most complex IT estates in Europe. You'll take ownership of major delivery initiatives that reduce legacy technology, improve resilience, and support DWP's mission to serve millions of people every day. You'll lead multi disciplinary teams, build capability, manage suppliers and drive the delivery of new and improved digital services. Whether you're modernising legacy applications, supporting payment transformation, or delivering integrations for other government departments, this role gives you the opportunity to shape services that have a real and lasting impact across the UK. What skills, knowledge and experience will you need? Experience leading and coaching delivery teams. You know how to guide multi skilled teams, set direction, remove blockers and help people perform at their best. Strong delivery experience across the full lifecycle.

You can manage third party partners, track milestones and ensure work is delivered on time and to the right quality. Clear, confident communication.

You'll lead digital delivery teams of engineers, designers, user researchers and other specialists - typically up to a dozen colleagues - creating an environment where they can deliver their best work. You'll also manage a small number of direct reports and shape delivery capability more broadly across the organisation. Your projects may range from large scale application redevelopment, establishing and supporting BAU teams post delivery, to overseeing continuous delivery environments (rather than start and finish programmes). No matter the project, you'll bring structure, clarity and strong delivery discipline to complex spaces with many moving parts. Your ability to manage relationships, align priorities and keep delivery progressing will be key to your success. You'll work closely with architecture, security, networks, commercial, finance and policy colleagues, as well as external suppliers and other government departments.

Pay of £57,946, plus 28.97% employer pension contributions, hybrid working, flexible hours and great work-life balance. Are you ready to deliver complex, high profile digital projects that modernise some of the UK's most important public services? As a Senior Digital Project Manager, you'll join DWP Digital's delivery community - a team responsible for leading large scale technology change and modernisation across one of the biggest and most complex IT estates in Europe. You'll take ownership of major delivery initiatives that reduce legacy technology, improve resilience, and support DWP's mission to serve millions of people every day. You'll lead multi disciplinary teams, build capability, manage suppliers and drive the delivery of new and improved digital services. Whether you're modernising legacy applications, supporting payment transformation, or delivering integrations for other government departments, this role gives you the opportunity to shape services that have a real and lasting impact across the UK. What skills, knowledge and experience will you need? Experience leading and coaching delivery teams. You know how to guide multi skilled teams, set direction, remove blockers and help people perform at their best. Strong delivery experience across the full lifecycle. You've delivered digital or tech projects using Agile, Waterfall or blended methods and you're confident choosing the right approach. Experience working with suppliers. You can manage third party partners, track milestones and ensure work is delivered on time and to the right quality. Clear, confident communication. You can explain complex delivery activity to people at all levels in a simple, straightforward way. Commitment to ongoing learning . You proactively seek out opportunities to develop yourself - and encourage the same in others. You and your role As a Senior Digital Project Manager, you'll play a central role in delivering change across DWP's most critical technology platforms. We've got roles on a number or different teams and projects, so you could be working on modernising legacy systems, supporting the evolution of payments services, and leading projects that help us interact effectively with other government departments and external bodies. Whatever you're working on your work will make essential public services more reliable, secure and able to meet the needs of millions of citizens. You'll lead digital delivery teams of engineers, designers, user researchers and other specialists - typically up to a dozen colleagues - creating an environment where they can deliver their best work. You'll also manage a small number of direct reports and shape delivery capability more broadly across the organisation. Your projects may range from large scale application redevelopment, establishing and supporting BAU teams post delivery, to overseeing continuous delivery environments (rather than start and finish programmes). No matter the project, you'll bring structure, clarity and strong delivery discipline to complex spaces with many moving parts. Your ability to manage relationships, align priorities and keep delivery progressing will be key to your success. You'll work closely with architecture, security, networks, commercial, finance and policy colleagues, as well as external suppliers and other government departments. This is a role for someone who enjoys working at scale, solving complex delivery challenges, and wants to make a positive impact on public services. If you're motivated by meaningful work, large scale digital transformation, and helping teams succeed - you'll thrive here. Details. Wages. Perks.
