About this role

PoloWorks is seeking a Head of Digital Delivery to oversee the implementation and deployment of Digital Services across their client portfolio. You would manage a portfolio of customer implementations, leading individual delivery leads and coordinating with external partners to ensure projects stay on track, on budget, and aligned with client needs.

This is a 12-month fixed-term contract based in London on a hybrid basis.
