Delivery Manager

Are you an experienced delivery leader who excels at driving complex initiatives and enabling teams to achieve outstanding results?

Our mission is to build and maintain a world‑class knowledge graph that serves as the backbone of Elsevier’s solutions, delivering valuable insights and analysis to our customers. As a central Data Engineering organisation, we are committed to developing innovative solutions that enhance the quality of our data, enable new data‑driven products, and improve the efficiency of our products and services. Ultimately, our goal is to advance science, healthcare, and society through the power of data.

The Portfolio and Agile team is a key support function within Data Engineering, with a mission to enable teams to focus on doing the right work at the right time, with the right capacity—delivering value predictably, sustainably, and at scale.

As a Delivery Manager, you will work closely with Data Engineering teams to ensure the successful delivery of high‑value products and initiatives. You will help teams plan effectively, remove impediments, and deliver incremental value predictably and sustainably. You will be a servant leader – supporting teams to self‑organise, collaborate, and continuously improve through the application of agile principles. You’ll make delivery visible and transparent through effective use of metrics, tools, and communication, ensuring stakeholders are informed and confident in progress.
