Senior Project Manager

Leads cross-functional teams through complex, multi-disciplinary delivery, owning everything from sprint execution and project financials to client relationships and pre-sales scoping, and acting as the central point of alignment between client objectives, delivery execution, and commercial outcomes. It sits within Deltatre's delivery organisation, with openings in both the OTT delivery team — covering the streaming platforms and apps fans use to watch live and on-demand content — and the Digital delivery team, covering the websites, apps, and publishing tools that keep fans connected between events. In either team, the post-holder works alongside designers, engineers, and technologists to deliver experiences used by millions of fans.
