About the role
This role combines delivery management with relationship ownership. You will be aligned to a dedicated .NET development team, taking ownership of all their clients and projects across sectors including business services, logistics, and manufacturing. Each development team at Propel Tech has its own dedicated Client Delivery Manager (CDM), and our CDM's work closely together to ensure consistency in process and approach across the business. It is a structure that gives you real ownership of your area while making sure you are never working in isolation.
Day to day, you will work in close partnership with the Development Team Manager of your team. Together you will manage project lifecycles, coordinate resources, and ensure clients are well served. You will own the client relationship and delivery coordination, while your Development Team Manager leads on the technical direction, code quality, and the day to day management of the development team. It is a genuine partnership and one that is central to how we deliver for clients at Propel Tech.
"We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys owning client relationships and takes pride in keeping delivery running smoothly. If you are the kind of person who spots problems before they become issues and brings calm, clear thinking to busy situations, you will fit right in here."
