Hays have partnered with an inhouse Digital Agency to help them secure a Digital Delivery Lead to take responsibility for the execution, technical delivery and operational excellence of digital projects across the global design practice.

This is an end-to-end delivery role, and you will be leading the Visualisation, Real-Time and Development capabilities. You will establish consistent delivery frameworks, technical standards and ways of working that enable teams to deliver high-quality digital experiences efficiently and at scale.

Working closely with operational and senior leadership, Discipline leads, Project Managers and Client Leads, the Digital Delivery Lead will drive delivery excellence, innovation and continuous improvement, ensuring digital capabilities evolve in line with client needs, business priorities and emerging technologies.

Experience

• Experience leading digital delivery within an experiential, digital, creative or development environment.
• Proven experience leading large, multidisciplinary technical and delivery teams.
• Strong understanding of software development, visualisation and real-time technologies, such as Unity and Unreal Engine, with the ability to provide technical direction, establish standards and support troubleshooting, without necessarily being hands-on in day-to-day production.
• Experience evaluating and selecting technologies, platforms and delivery approaches based on client outcomes, business value and project requirements.
• Demonstrated experience adopting AI-assisted delivery methods, automation and emerging technologies to improve efficiency, quality and scalability.
• Confidence leading teams in the application of modern development practices, including rapid prototyping, AI-assisted coding, Azure DevOps-based delivery and evolving software delivery methodologies.
• Strategic mindset with the ability to balance innovation, technical excellence, commercial objectives and practical delivery considerations.
• Good understanding of technical architecture, performance, security, API integration, platform strategy and modern development practices.
• Familiarity with digital ecosystem design, including cloud-hosted solutions, Azure DevOps, USD-based workflows and emerging platforms such as Nvidia Omniverse would be advantageous.

Please note: This is a hybrid role in Glasgow City Centre and will be 3 days per week on site.
