FAQ

Common questions about this CV

How is a Delivery Manager different from a Project Manager?

A PM usually owns one project, while a DM is responsible for a portfolio and its financial outcome. DMs work with clients at a more strategic level and keep margin, risk, and long-term relationships in focus.

Does a DM need a technical background?

It helps, though you don't need to write code. You do need to understand architecture, estimates, and technical debt, otherwise it's hard to speak with engineers and defend decisions in front of clients.

How many projects can one DM realistically run?

It depends on complexity, but typically 3 to 7 projects or 30 to 60 people. If there's one large strategic client, your focus may sit entirely there.

What level of English is required?

Upper-Intermediate is the minimum because you'll be on client calls daily and facilitating tough conversations. Senior roles usually expect Advanced.
