| Description: | Director of Technical Delivery Location: Hybrid / Office based in London EC4R Why Do We Want You This is a newly created, senior leadership role reporting directly to the CTO, offering the opportunity to shape and elevate how Wilmington delivers large-scale, technically complex change. We already have a strong project management foundation. What we need now is a technically credible leader who can bring authority, structure, and confidence to the delivery of complex integrations and platform evolution, someone who can connect strategy to execution and raise the bar for technical delivery across the Group. You ll operate at the heart of Wilmington s technology agenda, working closely with Managing Directors and senior leaders to guide acquired businesses onto a scalable, future-ready platform. This is a highly visible role for someone who enjoys challenge, influence, and ownership. This is not a requirements-taking role. You ll be a trusted expert able to challenge assumptions, set clear direction, and articulate what great looks like from a technology and delivery perspective.

You ll play a defining role in delivering Wilmington s technology vision within a well-structured, high-performing environment where learning and improvement are actively encouraged.
