Delivery Manager – Yorkshire, North East & Scotland Region
This is a regional Delivery Manager position with full operational responsibility for the North of the UK — spanning from North Wales across to Sheffield and Scarborough, and up to Scotland.
You will take ownership of delivering bus and rail advertising campaigns across this region, ensuring adverts are installed safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. The role is highly field-based, involving regular visits to bus depots, working closely with subcontractors, and building strong relationships with key stakeholders.
You will manage 3–5 key contractors and directly line manage a Warehouse Manager, taking full accountability for the successful delivery of advertising campaigns across your region.
Key Responsibilities
Regional delivery ownership: Take full accountability for the volume of advertising campaigns assigned to your region, ensuring adverts are successfully installed across buses and trains in line with contractual commitments.
Campaign delivery management: Monitor delivery progress against campaign schedules, proactively manage late or additional workloads, and communicate any risks or delays to stakeholders to protect on-time delivery.
Depot visits & relationship management: Regularly visit bus depots and operational sites to build strong working relationships, ensure smooth execution, and maintain high service standards across all locations.
Supplier & subcontractor management: Work closely with subcontractors responsible for advert installation, ensuring they meet performance, quality, and safety standards while delivering campaigns “right first time.”
Supplier management, quality & assurance: Validate supplier data and audit campaign delivery (right campaign, right asset, right time), ensuring compliance with H&S and operational standards across all contracts.
Special campaigns & regional operations: Lead the delivery of non-standard and special campaigns (e.g. creative installs, bus wraps, rail impact campaigns), ensuring clear planning and execution controls are in place.
Asset standards, maintenance & cost control: Ensure bus framing and maintenance is completed on time and within budget, while maintaining rail assets in line with required electrical and structural compliance standards.
Warehouse & team leadership: Oversee the Leeds warehouse operation and line manage the Warehouse Manager, ensuring efficient stock handling, preparation, and dispatch of advertising materials.
What You’ll Love About This Role

Own It: Take full responsibility for delivery performance across multiple contracts and locations, with clear accountability and visible impact.
Keep it Simple: Resolve operational challenges quickly by aligning teams, suppliers, and stakeholders with practical solutions.
Better Together: Collaborate closely with franchise partners, subcontractors, sales teams, and internal stakeholders to continuously improve delivery standards.
