Start March/April 2026 Salary: £55,000 – £65,000 (depending on experience) Location Northampton Centre (hybrid/remote) Full Time Overview We’re hiring a Technical Delivery Manager to own how we deliver our auction platforms to clients from new client onboarding and go-lives, to legacy migrations, to a disciplined Change Request (CR) pipeline. This is not a “keep the plan updated” project management role. It’s a delivery leadership role: you will build a delivery engine that scales, improving the speed and predictability of go-lives, tightening release governance (especially for live auctions), and reducing avoidable support overhead through better quality gates, handover, and standardisation. Our software powers high-availability timed and live auctions across multiple verticals (fine art, vehicles, property, plant machinery, collectibles and more) combining a buyer-facing experience with a full back-office operating system for auctioneers. Why this role exists We are scaling platform adoption while reducing reliance on legacy bespoke implementations. This role ensures we can: Deliver new platform clients repeatedly, quickly, and safely Migrate legacy clients with confidence and minimal disruption Run a CR pipeline that is commercial, transparent, and deliverable Reduce avoidable support demand through better delivery quality, release control and client enablement Build an increasingly automated delivery programme (templates, checklists, repeatable release patterns, standardised environments, reusable onboarding assets) What success looks like in 6–12 months You will have: Increased residual platform income through a predictable cadence of new go-lives and migrations Reduced technical support overhead caused by release issues, poor handover, unclear requirements, and inconsistent environments Implemented a clear, mostly automated delivery programme: onboarding packs,repeatable project templates, consistent QA/UAT gates, release runbooks, and measurable delivery KPIs Created a high-trust rhythm with clients: clear scope control, transparent timelines, and crisp stakeholder comms Improved cross-team delivery flow: fewer blockers, clearer priorities, and controlled releases, especially for live auction environments The role (what you’ll actually do) You will own delivery across: Platform implementations (new clients adopting BidHarvest. / BidCentral.) Legacy migrations (bespoke → platform-aligned) Change Requests (scoped, quoted, scheduled, delivered, released and handed over) Release governance across timed and live auction operations You will work closely with: Backend and frontend engineers DevOps (hosting, versioning, deployments, security, environments) Support and live auction monitoring/ops Account Management and Sales (scoping, commercials, client comms) Senior leadership This role requires strategic oversight and operational execution, you will drive the delivery cadence and build the system around it.
