About the job
Join Our Team as a Technical Delivery Manager!
At First Focus, we believe in a people-first approach to delivery management. Unlike many roles that expect you to be the most technical person in the room, our focus is on empowering and guiding a high-performing team across development, SharePoint, and AI. Your success will hinge on aligning our delivery efforts with business objectives and ensuring seamless execution without the need for late-night heroics.
While you'll have a solid grasp of technology, your primary responsibility will be to extract the best from your team, cultivate clarity, and maintain momentum even in challenging times.
