\n About The Role\n \n Job level: 13 \n \n Working Style: Hybrid, the successful candidate will be expected to attend an office on average twice a week based on client demand in London or Bristol. \n \n The Delivery Director is accountable for the delivery operating environment, quality and project execution health of manifesto. This is a senior leadership role created as manifesto grows in scale and complexity, the business requires a senior leader responsible for the delivery performance, operational consistency and client outcomes across the entire agency portfolio. \n \n The role sits at the centre of the agency delivery system, connecting Commercial, Growth, Strategy, Technology, Design and Delivery into a coherent execution model. The Delivery Director is accountable for the environment through which work moves from sale into execution and into outcomes, ensuring programmes, projects, CI and support are properly governed, commercially controlled and delivered in a way that sustains client confidence and long-term relationships. \n \n The role spans significant portfolio breadth, delivery governance and mobilisation, capacity and project workforce alignment, commercial performance against forecast/budget, revenue recognition, risk containment and escalation management. It requires real-time visibility across the health of the agency's entire delivery portfolio and the authority, judgement and presence to act decisively when performance is under pressure. \n \n This role carries accountability for outcomes, not oversight of activity. The Delivery Director is not a layer of governance above delivery. They are the operational leader who removes friction, resolves ambiguity, holds standards and ensures the agency can deliver with consistency and pace at the scale the business demands now and the greater scale it is moving towards. Empowering and working with the senior leaders within the Project Management capability to deliver maximum impact for their portfolios, clients and team. \n \n The Delivery Director provides leadership and intervention where delivery performance, client confidence and commercial outcomes require improvement. \n \n Manifesto is evolving towards a more integrated, strategically-led and operationally mature Ai enabled agency model. As scale increases, so do the tensions inherent in that growth: increasing delivery and commercial complexity, higher coordination overhead across multidisciplinary teams, pressure on margin and forecasting confidence, evolving client expectations and the growing importance of scalable delivery systems. \n \n The Delivery Director exists to create delivery transparency and consistency in delivery across this environment. The role works in close partnership with the MD on maintaining delivery performance; Strategy Enablement and Partnerships Director, Strategy team, Head of PMO and Programme Leads on shaping viable, deliverable programmes; the Finance and Commercial Director on delivery execution within commercial frameworks; Technology and Design leadership on quality and capability maturity; and Growth and client services leadership on sales-to-delivery mobilisation, estimation and feasibility. The Delivery Director also works closely with the Engineering Director, who holds delegated ownership for engineering leadership, capability, technical standards and team management. \n \n The effectiveness of this role depends on the quality of these relationships and the clarity of accountability boundaries between growth, client leadership, operational execution and commercial governance. \n \n Responsibilities \n \n The Delivery Director owns delivery as a business capability. The role is accountable for orchestrating the flow of work through the business from point of sale, with full ownership of the following: \n \n \n \n • Delivery execution, governance and operational health across portfolios\n \n • Sales-to-delivery mobilisation and delivery lifecycle management\n \n • Delivery execution against agreed commercial budgets and operational plans\n \n • Effective deployment of delivery capability against client requirement including management of near shore agreements\n \n • Project and programme profitability/performance against agreed commercial parameters\n \n • Supporting accurate forecasting and revenue reporting through on time and on budget delivery performance\n \n • Client satisfaction and long-term retention through delivery excellence\n \n • Risk containment, escalation management and delivery recovery\n \n • Leadership, coaching and support for the project and programme management leaders and team\n \n • Delivery standards, maturity and continuous improvement ensuring AI, automations and process improvements are implemented effectively\n \n \n \n Commercial Accountability \n \n The Delivery Director carries direct commercial accountability for project and programme delivery performance. The role owns revenue performance and recognition against budget and forecast, and is accountable for ensuring projects and programmes can be and are delivered in a commercially sustainable way with senior project and programme management leaders that aligns with agreed margin assumptions. \n \n This encompasses project and programme profitability, delivery margin management, scope containment, operational forecasting accuracy and the early surfacing of margin leakage, delivery risk and forecasting issues. \n \n The Delivery Director works in close partnership with the Finance and Commercial Director, who owns financial reporting integrity, pricing governance, systems architecture, commercial MI, margin analysis frameworks and forecasting governance. The Finance and Commercial Director governs the commercial operating framework; the Delivery Director is accountable for operational execution and performance within it. This distinction is deliberate and essential to maintaining clear ownership boundaries while enabling close operational collaboration. \n \n Delivery Performance and Client Confidence \n \n The Delivery Director is accountable for client confidence across delivery, not simply project completion. The operational environment must consistently produce work that clients trust, value and want to continue investing in. \n \n \n \n • Delivery quality is consistent and reliable across all programmes\n \n • Communication is proactive and transparent at every stage\n \n • Risks are surfaced early and managed with rigour\n \n • The delivery experience reflects the strategic ambition of the work\n \n • Teams operate with clear accountability and ownership\n \n • Projects convert into long-term relationships, retained revenue and reputation growth\n \n \n \n Delivery quality directly drives client retention, account growth, referrals and commercial sustainability. Operational excellence is a strategic growth driver. This role also owns containment: in pressured environments, the Delivery Director creates clarity, pace and decision-making discipline. Ambiguity, escalation drift and delivery instability stop here. \n \n Workforce, Capacity and Delivery Leadership \n \n The Delivery Director owns the operational alignment between demand and delivery capability. This extends beyond resource allocation to encompass future project capacity planning, delivery resilience, utilisation health, project and programme management succession risk and planning. \n \n The role is accountable for ensuring the agency has the following: \n \n \n \n • The right people aligned to the right work at the right time\n \n • Gaps in skills and capabilities needed for project and programme delivery is identified with the Project and Programme Leadership team\n \n • Sufficient operational capacity to deliver the portfolio sustainably\n \n • Strong delivery leadership within programmes and projects\n \n • Healthy escalation and decision-making structures\n \n • Operational clarity across multidisciplinary teams\n \n • The role operates within the capacity planning, utilisation frameworks and reporting structures governed by the Finance and Commercial Director. As the PSA implementation matures, operational resourcing and digital production responsibilities could evolve further into the Delivery Director function.\n \n \n \n Delivery Maturity and Operational Evolution \n \n The Delivery Director is responsible for continuously improving delivery practices, governance, embedding operational standards, sharpening escalation clarity, developing project and programme leadership capability and progression. The goal is an agency that delivers at pace without losing quality, predictability or commercial discipline. The Delivery Director is responsible for supporting the agency and the project and programme management team in getting it there and keeping it there. \n \n Leadership Expectations \n \n This role is not a functional delivery lead. This is a senior leadership role operating across the agency and working closely with Executive Leadership. The Delivery Director must be equally at home with c-suite clients as in the operational detail of complex programmes. \n \n This requires someone who holds live operational detail and strategic context simultaneously, balances client satisfaction with commercial sustainability and maintains pace without sacrificing quality. They build trust across disciplines, challenge constructively at peer level and make sound decisions in complex, ambiguous environments without creating dependency. \n \n Operational judgement, emotional intelligence and organisational credibility are prerequisites, not differentiators. \n \n This role is a new investment for manifesto, and the successful candidate the opportunity to shape the role and value for the business but most importantly our clients. \n \n Dimensions\n \n Budget: Responsible for delivering/realising £12m revenue to agreed GM. Responsible for delivery team headcount budget \n \n Headcount: 6-8 \n \n Resource complexity and nature of work teams: high \n \n Complex role with accountability for delivery performance coordinating multiple concurrent client programmes through multidisciplinary teams spanning delivery, engineering, design, strategy, commercial, finance and nearshore partners. The role operates across a large matrix organisation, requiring significant cross-functional influence, workforce planning and stakeholder management. \n \n Problem solving responsibility and complexity: high \n \n Independent judgement and decision-making across delivery, commercial, operational and client challenges where there may be competing priorities, ambiguity and incomplete information. The role is accountable for identifying and resolving risks, delivery issues and performance challenges that could significantly impact revenue, profitability, client relationships, organisational effectiveness and long-term business growth \n \n Change management requirements: high \n \n Driving the continuous evolution of delivery practices, governance, operating models and organisational capability to support business growth and increased complexity. The role requires influencing executive leaders, delivery teams and cross-functional stakeholders to embed new processes, systems and behaviours while maintaining delivery performance, commercial outcomes and client confidence. \n \n Internal / External interactions: \n \n \n \n • Manifesto Exec\n \n • Manifesto Board\n \n • Manifesto LT\n \n • Manifesto delivery teams\n \n • Manifesto Finance and Ops Functions\n \n • TPX Operations (Legal, Systems, Finance, People and Compliance)\n \n • Clients\n \n • Prospects\n \n • Sector bodies/membership organisations/collaborators\n \n • Strategic timeframe working towards: 1-3 year business plan\n \n \n \n About You \n \n Professional experience and knowledge \n \n The successful candidate will bring significant senior leadership experience from a digital agency or equivalent, with a proven track record of leading multidisciplinary delivery organisations and creating the conditions for sustainable growth, strong client outcomes and commercial performance. \n \n Essential skills \n \n \n \n • Senior delivery, programme, project or client services leadership within a digital agency or equivalent environment within a similar scale of manifesto.\n \n • A track record of leading delivery, programme management or operational functions within complex client-facing organisations and multiple sectors\n \n • Experience managing project and delivery teams at scale across multiple concurrent client engagements and sectors\n \n • Demonstrable success building and improving delivery operating models, governance structures and organisational processes\n \n • Direct commercial accountability for project and portfolio profitability, forecasting, delivery margin and operational financial management\n \n • Experience leading operational change and delivery transformation\n \n • Confidence and experience managing executive-level clients and senior stakeholders in complex delivery environments\n \n • A background in digital delivery environments spanning strategy, design, engineering, data and client leadership\n \n • Experience with PSA or resource management system implementation, scaled agency environments or AI-enabled delivery models would be an advantage.\n \n \n \n Technical skills \n \n \n \n • Digital programme, portfolio and delivery management\n \n • Delivery governance and operational performance management\n \n • Commercial management, including forecasting, revenue recognition, margin and profitability management\n \n • Resource planning, capacity management and workforce utilisation\n \n • Risk, issue and escalation management\n \n • Sales-to-delivery mobilisation and programme planning\n \n • Project and portfolio financial controls and reporting\n \n • Delivery operating model design and continuous

\n About OLIX\n AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance. The Role\n Quality at OLIX is not a support function, it is a strategic pillar. As we drive toward tape-out and the transition from development to production, we need a Director of Quality who will build the quality infrastructure that OLIX’s technology deserves: rigorous enough to satisfy world-class customers and partners, and lean enough to move at the pace our mission demands. This is a founding quality leadership role. OLIX is fabless: our products are built through a global network of foundry, OSAT, contract manufacturing, and component partners, which means quality at OLIX is won or lost in the supply chain. You will define what quality means for novel optical computing technology, build our Quality Management System from a blank page, own supplier and partner quality across our manufacturing ecosystem, and be the quality voice at every critical decision point from tape-out readiness through to deployment. OLIX systems are deployed and operated at fleet scale in partner datacentres, so quality does not end at shipment. You will own reliability from component qualification through to fleet performance in the field, and you will scale the quality organisation as OLIX grows from first product launch into high-volume manufacturing. Key ResponsibilitiesQuality Management System\n \n • Design, implement, and own OLIX’s Quality Management System from the ground up, targeting ISO 9001 certification and laying the foundation for more advanced standards as the business scales\n, • Define quality policies, procedures, metrics, document control, and CAPA processes that are fit for a fast-moving fabless company: rigorous without being bureaucratic\n, • Establish quality gates and review processes across the full product lifecycle, from design sign-off through tape-out, manufacturing, test, and deployment\n, • Build a quality culture at OLIX, partnering with engineering and operations teams to embed quality thinking early\n Supplier & Partner Quality\n \n, • Own the supplier quality programme across OLIX’s foundry, OSAT, contract manufacturer, and component ecosystem, spanning silicon, advanced packaging, optical components, and compound semiconductor supply\n, • Lead supplier qualification, audits, corrective action programmes, and ongoing performance management through structured KPIs and scorecards\n, • Define and manage incoming inspection and acceptance criteria for wafers, substrates, optical components, and materials arriving from the supply chain\n, • Build OLIX’s approved supplier list and qualification documentation to the standard required by tier-1 customers and strategic partners\n Product Qualification & Reliability\n \n, • Own the product qualification strategy for OLIX’s silicon, optical components, modules, and systems: reliability test plans, qualification flows, and acceptance criteria informed by JEDEC and Telcordia GR-468 or equivalent standards\n, • Lead Design for Reliability reviews alongside engineering and manufacturing teams, ensuring quality implications are factored into design decisions before commitments are made\n, • Stand up failure analysis capability and FRACAS processes to close the loop on development, manufacturing, and field quality issues\n, • Drive yield, defect, and reliability improvement programmes across manufacturing partners using structured methodologies including SPC, FMEA, 8D, and DOE\n Manufacturing & Fleet Quality\n \n, • Establish manufacturing quality systems with OSAT and contract manufacturing partners: process capability, control plans, PFMEA, escape prevention, and data-driven continuous improvement\n, • Define quality and compliance requirements for OLIX’s internal cleanroom and pilot manufacturing capability, including equipment safety and conformity\n, • Own field quality for deployed systems: fleet reliability metrics, field failure analysis, and corrective action loops that feed back into design and manufacturing\n Regulatory Compliance & Certification\n \n, • Ensure OLIX products meet applicable regulatory and certification requirements for datacentre deployment, including CE and UKCA marking, product safety (IEC 62368-1), laser safety (IEC 60825), EMC and EMI, RoHS, REACH, conflict minerals, and cybersecurity requirements under the Cyber Resilience Act\n, • Define and manage compliance validation activities with test houses, notified bodies, and certification partners across target markets\n Skills & Experience\n \n, • 12+ years in Quality Engineering or Quality Management within the semiconductor, photonics, electronics, or advanced manufacturing industries, including at least five years leading teams\n, • Demonstrated experience building a Quality Management System from the ground up in a fabless or early-stage environment, then scaling it through NPI into volume production\n, • Deep supplier quality expertise managing foundries, OSATs, and contract manufacturers in an outsourced manufacturing model\n, • Strong grounding in semiconductor and optoelectronic qualification and reliability: JEDEC, Telcordia GR-468, or equivalent standards\n, • Hands‑on proficiency with quality tools and methodologies: SPC, FMEA and PFMEA, control plans, 8D, DOE, and CAPA\n, • Experience leading product compliance and certification for electronic hardware, including CE or UKCA, safety, and EMC\n, • Comfortable operating hands‑on in a fast‑moving, pre‑scale environment: able to define standards without over‑engineering them, and to build the team as the company grows\n, • Willingness to travel regularly to manufacturing partners across Taiwan, Japan, the US, and Europe\n, • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related technical discipline\n Nice to Have\n \n, • Experience with optical or photonic component reliability, including laser‑based components\n, • Datacentre or hyperscaler hardware quality experience, including fleet reliability and RAS\n, • ISO 9001 Lead Auditor certification, ASQ CQE or CMQ/OE, or Six Sigma Black Belt\n, • Master’s degree in Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, or Business Administration\n Compensation & Equity\n \n, • Competitive Salary: Commensurate with your experience, skills, and location\n, • Equity & Ownership: Meaningful stock options.
