The role offers an excellent salary and benefits package, and hybrid working (with 2 days per week to be spent in the company\'s Oxford office).

As Technical Delivery Lead for Education your main remit will be to manage and oversee internal and 3rd party engineering and delivery teams and resources to deliver application development, ongoing roadmap enhancements and maintenance activities to existing product systems and applications, ensuring solutions are delivered on time and on budget. You\'ll work cross-functionally on the smooth transition and communication of new applications / products, working closely with the Change Management team to ensure successful delivery of changes and enhancements.

You\'ll possess the ability to deliver enhancements / projects and have an understanding of the need to work with change management functions to embed change effectively. You will have a strong customer focus, top notch presentation and communication skills and excellent stakeholder management skills. As a trusted advisor in this role you will work across multiple initiatives with strong delegation and empowerment skills and have the ability to deal with ambiguity and change comfortably.
