About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Freelance Digital Delivery Partner to support the delivery of complex digital initiatives across multiple product solutions. This role is ideal for a hands-on delivery professional who thrives on translating product roadmaps into actionable plans and ensuring initiatives are delivered on time, on budget, in-scope, and to the highest quality standards.

You will work closely with Digital Product Managers, IT, Finance, Procurement, and external vendors to integrate delivery activities, manage dependencies, and provide clear, actionable reporting. Order to Cash (O2C) experience is essential, as many initiatives will intersect with financial and operational processes.

This role focuses solely on delivery execution. It does not involve product strategy ownership, people management, or organizational design.

• Escalate material scope, cost, or risk issues to Digital Operations and Product Development leadership.

• Strong experience in delivery financials, vendor coordination, commercial governance, and Order to Cash processes.
• Comfortable operating in global, distributed teams.

Tools & Environment

• Experience with Jira, MS Project, Smartsheet, Monday.com, Teams, SharePoint, or equivalent delivery and collaboration tools.
