Delivery Manager

Delivery Manager ABOUT TASMAN Tasman is a data consultancy that embeds into fast-growing companies and builds the analytics capabilities they need to make better decisions. Our clients are typically ambitious organisations that have outgrown what they have — and we work across a wide range of industries and problem types, which means the work stays genuinely varied. We operate as an interim data team, not an advisory one. That means we build things: data platforms, models, dashboards, agents, analysis, and the infrastructure that connects them. AI is a core part of how everyone at Tasman works — not a tool we bolt on, but something that lets us deliver more of what actually matters. Everything we build is designed to be owned and run by the client when we leave. We call this anti-dependency: doing the job properly means the client doesn't need us any more. We're remote-first, with offices in London and Amsterdam. Most of the team works from home or a co-working space of their choosing — we trust people to manage their own time and understand that life doesn't always arrange itself around working hours. Tasman is a small team doing work that would usually require a much larger one: genuine ownership, fast decisions, and very little organisational overhead. Because we embed across many different clients and sectors simultaneously, the problems are always varied and the exposure is broad. We're serious about building a team where people with different backgrounds, identities, and working styles can do their best work — structured hiring, transparent pay bands, promotion on documented evidence. Fully bootstrapped and profitable, with a team of around 25 people. THE ROLE Tasman's delivery teams work in squads — Data Analysts, Analytics Engineers, and Data Engineers — typically running five to eight client engagements at any one time. It's complex, fast-moving work, and it goes best when priorities are clear, handoffs are smooth, and the operational side of delivery is owned by someone whose job it is. This is our first dedicated delivery hire, and we're approaching it deliberately. We're not looking for a seasoned programme director — we're looking for someone who has developed real operational instincts, probably through a few years in a delivery, coordination, or project role, and is ready to apply them somewhere they'll actually matter. Someone who wants to help shape how delivery works at Tasman, not follow a process that already exists. You'll work closely with our Data Product Managers, who own the client relationship and the roadmap — your focus is the team side of that equation. This role sits inside a data team. You'll be working alongside analysts, engineers, and data product managers every day — and if data is an interest you want to develop further, this is a genuinely good place to do it. WHAT YOU'LL DO: - Hold a live picture of delivery health across five to eight client engagements simultaneously, spotting dependencies and risks before they become blockers, not after - Identify blockers early and own resolving them, whether that means chasing information, facilitating a conversation, or escalating to the right person - Design and run ceremonies that actually fit the way data teams work — the rhythms are different from software delivery, and getting that right matters - Own the start and end of every client engagement operationally so that squads hit the ground running and leave cleanly, without the team having to think about logistics - Build and improve the systems that keep our tooling working for the team, rather than the team working for the tooling - Use AI to handle the documentation and communication work that would otherwise slow the team down — notes, summaries, status updates — and keep developing new ways to make it useful as the tools improve WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR: You're someone who gets genuine satisfaction from making things run smoothly.
