Who we are

We are Ordnance Survey, Great Britain's national mapping service and a global leader in geospatial data and technology. For over 230 years, our data has helped governments, businesses and communities make better decisions about the world around them.

The Opportunity

At Ordnance Survey, we're committed to delivering trusted geospatial data and services that help government organisations make better decisions, improve public services and deliver value for citizens across Great Britain.

We're looking for a Public Sector Investment Delivery Manager to ensure the successful delivery of customer-funded investments in better data and services. This is a high-profile, customer-facing role that sits at the heart of our Public Sector business, working closely with government stakeholders and internal teams to ensure commitments are delivered effectively and customer outcomes are achieved.

As a key link between customers, stakeholders and service leadership, you'll be responsible for ensuring customer contractual obligations are met, and customer benefits are realised. You'll build strong collaborative relationships through the service operating model, manage risks and dependencies, and ensure investment programmes deliver measurable customer value while meeting contractual and strategic objectives.

Working across multiple teams and disciplines, you'll provide leadership, oversight and coordination to ensure customer requirements are understood and delivery remains in line with agreed customer expectations.

What You'll Do

Investment Delivery

Ensure all customer contractual obligations are delivered to the required standards, maintaining focus on outcomes, milestones and agreed deliverables.

Progress & Risk Management

Monitor delivery progress from the customer's perspective, identify issues early and coordinate communications with the customer accordingly to keep delivery of their investments in line with their expectations.

Cross-Functional Coordination

Work collaboratively across OS through the service operating model to ensure aligned delivery of investment outcomes and consistent execution by bringing the customer voice into the business.

Stakeholder Engagement

Build and maintain strong relationships with external stakeholders and government partners, acting as a credible and confident representative for customer investment delivery in OS.

Forward Planning & Risk Anticipation

Proactively identify risks and emerging customer needs. Work collaboratively with service leadership to ensure forward-looking plans and responses are in place.

Governance & Reporting

Prepare clear performance updates, dashboards and reporting, ensuring stakeholders have visibility of progress, risks and outcomes.

Commercial & Strategic Alignment

Support decision-making by connecting customer investment delivery to wider organisational objectives, value and impact.

About You

You are a commercial, customer focused professional with a strong track record of delivery, particularly with managing complex programmes or customer investments, and a clear ability to coordinate activity, manage risk and drive outcomes.

• Experience ensuring external customer investment programmes, contracts or complex services deliver the outcomes the customer is expecting, ideally within public sector or regulated environments

• Strong understanding of governance frameworks, contractual obligations and delivery oversight

• Experience interpreting complex requirements and working with the business to translate them into actionable delivery plans

• Skilled in managing risks, issues and mitigation activity

• Strong stakeholder management capability, including experience working with senior external partners or government stakeholders

• Experience producing performance reports, dashboards or updates to support decision-making

• Confident communicator, able to present complex information clearly and effectively speaking in both internal and external languages

• Strong organisational capability, able to manage multiple priorities and competing demands

• Comfortable working across matrix environments, coordinating activity across teams

Three principles one direction

• Clear the path - Cut the noise. Simplify. Move at pace.

• Seek the story - Listen. Understand. Speak up.

• Do what matters - Focus on value.

Our principles unite us in delivering our Data & Destinations strategy with more simplicity, more clarity, and renewed momentum for each other and for our customers.

They're here to create more good days, and fewer harder ones but only if each one of us plays our part.
