Director of Software Delivery & Transformation, Poole

Director of Software Delivery & Transformation

We’re partnering with a technology‑led organisation undergoing a major digital transformation — and they’re looking for a Director of Software Delivery & Transformation to act as a trusted partner to the CTO.

This is a high‑impact leadership role for someone who blends strong technical depth (C#/.NET, Azure) with a proven ability to lead complex software delivery and transformation at scale, particularly within SaaS or cloud environments.

You’ll take ownership of a broad transformation portfolio focused on modernising platforms, scaling SaaS capabilities, and improving engineering delivery maturity.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution — ideal for someone who enjoys shaping direction but thrives on making delivery happen.

• Partnering with the CTO to define and deliver the technology transformation roadmap
• Leading large‑scale software delivery and SaaS transformation initiatives
• Driving adoption of modern engineering practices (DevOps, CI/CD, automation, observability)
• Bringing structure and clarity to complex, multi‑stream delivery programmes
• Providing technical oversight across a Microsoft stack (C#, .NET, Azure, SQL Server)
• Challenging architecture and engineering decisions to ensure scalability, resilience and performance
• Aligning engineering, product, data and operational teams around clear delivery outcomes
• Managing dependencies, risks and delivery trade‑offs across multiple initiatives
• Communicating progress, risks and value to senior leadership and stakeholders
• Embedding a culture of continuous improvement, accountability and innovation

You’re a credible technology leader with a strong track record in software delivery and transformation, ideally within SaaS or cloud‑based environments.

• Significant experience in senior technology / delivery / engineering leadership roles
• Strong background in software delivery within SaaS or cloud platforms
• Solid technical expertise in the Microsoft stack (C#, .NET, Azure, SQL Server)
• Deep understanding of software architecture, engineering quality and system design
• Experience implementing DevOps and modern delivery practices
• Comfortable managing multiple workstreams and complex delivery portfolios
• Strong stakeholder skills, with experience working closely with C‑level leadership
• Exposure to data, AI or platform modernisation initiatives is beneficial
• Excellent communicator, able to translate complex technical change into clear, business‑focused narratives

• Work directly with a forward‑thinking CTO
• Play a pivotal role in a business‑critical transformation journey
• Combine technical depth with strategic influence
• Make a visible, lasting impact across a technology‑driven organisation

If you’re motivated by driving meaningful change in complex software environments and want to operate at the heart of a transformation, this is a standout opportunity.
