Job description

We are Not On The High Street

We believe the big things should be celebrated – hard. Milestone birthdays, mates getting hitched, new pads… But we also love making a big deal about the small things, too.

We’re home to 5,000+ phenomenal small creative businesses that we are proud to call our Partners. So we’re doing all we can to shine a light on these dynamic entrepreneurs, waving the flag for small businesses and generally championing their socks off.

On top of our brilliant Partners, products, and customers (not to mention our incredible team), we have seen some really amazing recent changes, we’ve rebranded (check out the new site and app) have a whole host of new products as well as that, Leanne Rothwell, NOTHS for 10 years deservedly and was honoured to take over as CEO to drive the next era at NOTHS.

We are now looking to build on this momentum to drive our business to the next level. And that’s where you come in.

We’re a team of 150 or so who all thrive in roles that make an impact and a difference and we are looking for like-minded people.

You’re laser-focused when it comes to the task at hand. You’re not afraid to make big decisions and take some risks. You have a positive attitude to learn if things don’t go to plan and re-iterate to get your idea working. You’re a team player willing to lift others up and collaborate.

If this applies to you then we are the right fit for you, our perks and benefits are at the bottom of the description but if you want to know more about the role itself read on.

Purpose:

As an Agile Delivery Manager, you will join our technology squads delivering our product roadmap for our organisation, customers and partners.

Supporting the team

We want passionate and empowered teams. A good agile delivery manager will be supporting and facilitate improvement in these areas. It’s up to you to decide how you want to do that but driving improvement through retrospectives and coaching the team on Agile principles will be essential. Sometimes that might be protecting the team from noise, sometimes it will be fostering more communication with our business partners to improve visibility.

Supporting the people

Whilst you won’t be the line manager for the engineers it doesn’t mean you can’t help to coach and develop them and help us to hire talented people. Supporting the personal growth of the individuals in the team is really important for us. Having an agile delivery manager who can collaborate with the Engineering Manager to support their personal development is vital.

Supporting software delivery

It’s your role to help the team build and operate a world-class software platform. This could mean unblocking the team or using your knowledge of developer best practices. You will be responsible for coaching the team in end-to-end delivery including making sure they have considered non-functional requirements, testing, release and go-live activities they deserve. You will also be working alongside a product manager, engineering manager and designer to ensure we release business value in a frequent but sustainable way.

Supporting project delivery

You will be responsible for coordinating work across cross-functional teams, ensuring alignment with initiative goals and facilitating seamless communication amongst technical stakeholders. With a proven track record of optimising processes, team prioritisation and maintaining a sharp eye on delivering value to the organisation, you will lead the team delivery to success.

Supporting our remote first culture

You will be responsible for planning, running and facilitating a wide range of delivery ceremonies that will be primarily remote first and in person when required.

Experience leading or supporting multiple engineering teams in a lead role (e.g Project Manager, Scrum Master, Product Manager or Technical Lead)Managing delivery of initiatives across multiple engineering teams at a small and larger scale
Ability to produce and maintain a comprehensive delivery plan and be an advocate for balancing new features with the need to maintain and support the existing systems

Ability to build strong relationships with Product Managers, Engineering Managers and Designers. And to be able to work closely with Technical experts on a daily basis
The ability to influence inside and outside of your team to a wide range of stakeholders via verbal and written communication styles

Our perks

It’s important to us that our people are well looked after, which is why we offer BUPA healthcare, Healthshield, life insurance and additional Mental health support through Spill

We have also worked very hard to come up with a set of policies that support work/life balance, flexible working, diversity and inclusion that help to reduce the stress of life.

We offer 25 days of annual leave plus 8 days of bank holidays and the ability to swap other religious holidays for these

We hold regular social events as well as holding hackathons and encourage our team to attend conferences and other L&D or networking events

Hybrid workplace

We endeavour to support our people to make sure work... well, works for them. To that end we are trialling out different ways of working - at the moment, we are remote first, getting together in person in London for key moments and to support connection and collaboration. Although this isn't how we're working right now, to join us, you should be able to work in London for 1-2 days per month.

Diversity and Inclusion

Our strategy is to unite and empower: Together, we foster diversity and inclusion, strengthening belonging, allyship, and visibility for underrepresented groups among colleagues, customers, and Partners.

Diversity and Inclusion are really important to us and that’s why everyone’s welcome at Not On The High Street – whoever they are, whatever their background.

As part of your application, you’ll be asked to complete an optional demographic survey to help us learn more about who wants to work with us and will only be used to help us figure out how to make our team(s) even more inclusive and attract more brilliant people to join us!

We have a DEI focus group as well as affinity groups that have their own budgets and can use this to help serve diversity and inclusion at NOTHS

Apply to join #teamNOTHS

Our recruitment processes are fully remote, taking advantage of the wonders of modern-day technology.

You’ll speak with one of the recruitment team first (30 minutes) who will help you understand the role and company even better, you’ll then speak with the line manager (60 minutes), you'll be asked to complete a task before meeting key stakeholders during a final interview (90 minutes)

We’d love to hear more about you, your experience and why you want to join our team.

Good luck!
