About the Role

The Delivery Capacity and Assurance Lead oversees capacity planning, demand alignment, and independent delivery assurance across TDD, ensuring initiatives are properly resourced, governed, and set up for success. This role performs independent quality assurance of delivery artefacts and controls, runs assurance checkpoints and gate reviews at key milestones to keep delivery controlled and risks understood, and provides transparency around resource allocation and demand sequencing to enable informed trade-off decisions. It also reduces the risk of over-commitment and delivery failure through proactive capacity management and independent assurance.

Responsibilities

  • ● Conduct independent delivery assurance reviews, gate reviews, and health checks, assessing artefact quality, control fitness, and compliance at key milestones.
  • ● Own and manage TDD's delivery capacity planning process, ensuring demand is realistically aligned and sequenced against available capacity.
  • ● Provide assurance data, capacity insights, and quality findings to support prioritisation decisions, PI planning, and portfolio trade-offs.
  • ● Develop and maintain assurance frameworks, capacity models, and workforce planning tools that give leadership confidence delivery is under control.
  • ● Draw on data from across delivery to identify trends, risks, and capacity constraints, turning insight into clear, actionable recommendations.
  • ● Partner with delivery and platform leaders to flag over-commitment risks early and support realistic, sustainable planning decisions.

Requirements

  • ● Demonstrated experience in delivery assurance, workforce planning, or capacity management within technology delivery environments.
  • ● Strong analytical skills, with experience in capacity modelling and demand-supply balancing using tools such as Jira, Smartsheet, or equivalent.
  • ● Solid knowledge of delivery frameworks (SAFe, Agile, PRINCE2) and a clear understanding of how capacity planning integrates with portfolio governance.
  • ● Experience designing or applying assurance frameworks, gate reviews, or quality checkpoints within a delivery environment.
  • ● Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex data to senior stakeholders in a clear, actionable manner.
