Product Delivery Manager
An opportunity to sit at the centre of something being built from the ground up — shaping delivery of OneGC, the technology platform that will power the next chapter of gunnercooke‘s growth.
Building something new. From the inside.
Most technology roles ask you to join something already built and keep it running. This one is different. We are building OneGC — the platform that will power how our lawyers work, how they collaborate, how clients experience us, and how we scale.
The Product Delivery Manager sits at the centre of the delivery team. You are the connective tissue between the platform vision and the team that builds it. You take direction from the firm on what we are building and why — then you make it happen. Structured, sequenced, honest about risk, and always moving forward.
This is not pure project management. We are building a product, so you need to think in roadmaps and outcomes. But you also need to keep delivery honest — calling out drift, managing scope, creating the conditions for a team to do its best work. You will be working within a newly created technology function where you can help shape what that looks like.
Responsibilities.
Own and manage the end-to-end delivery of technology products across the OneGC platform.
Chair and facilitate standups and sprint reviews — purposeful, time-efficient, and outcome-focused.
Develop, maintain, and communicate delivery plans that are realistic, transparent, and understood by all stakeholders.
Proactively identify, escalate, and resolve blockers and risks before they affect delivery.
Produce concise, accurate delivery reports and status updates for the IT Director and senior leadership.
Work with the technology team to translate the OneGC platform vision into a prioritised, sequenced delivery roadmap.
Contribute to the development of technology governance frameworks, starting with OneGC delivery governance.
Ensure delivery practices are consistent, documented, and continuously improved across the function.

You are joining a newly created technology function. The decisions you make on process, tooling, and governance will set the standard for what comes next.
Competitive package, plus benefits — with genuine flexibility where the right candidate warrants it.
Based in Manchester with access to gunnercooke‘s Spinningfields office and the broader firm network.
Genuinely collegiate — across gcTrust and 650+ advisors in 40+ practice areas who actively support each other.
Backed by gcTrust — compliance, finance, marketing, IT and partner services — with the resource of a Top 75 firm.
OneGC is live and being built now. You will not be waiting for a mandate — you will be delivering against one from the start.
A different kind of law firm.
gunnercooke is a Top 75 law firm with over 650 advisors across 16 global offices in the UK, US, Germany and Austria. Launched in 2010, we are one of the fastest-growing law firms in the world — and the leading global fee-share firm for entrepreneurial lawyers.
We operate as a fee-share model — professionals join as self-employed advisors, free to design the practice they have always wanted. Advisors retain up to 90% of their fees. Around 30% of our revenue comes from internal referrals. That is what a genuinely collaborative culture looks like in practice.
gcTrust is our dedicated support function — specialists in finance, IT, marketing, compliance, recruitment, and partner and office services. Our role is helping advisors to set up, run, and scale their practices. That is where this role sits.
If you have built delivery functions before and want to do it again — properly — we would like to hear from you.
