Job description

About the Role

Our Delivery Managers lead, develop and motivate multidisciplinary teams to deliver value. They create the right environment for teams to succeed, helping them self-organise and create a culture of learning, collaboration and transparency.

Delivery Managers use a range of methodologies, mainly within an Agile environment, to monitor and forecast delivery team’s work as well as create a motivating environment to focus on what is most important to the delivery and allow the team to succeed. You will work either within a delivery team or will be supporting a group of delivery teams throughout the delivery lifecycle, to deliver value and change, usually within the context of wider projects and programmes.

You will use your knowledge and experience of Delivery Management or Agile to coach and mentor teams and colleagues. You will encourage and facilitate continuous improvement and identify and remove blockers to delivery.

You will understand and be able to interpret the needs of business and technical stakeholders and manage expectations successfully.

For those who thrive in a fast-paced, exciting, and motivational environment, we offer unique and unparalleled opportunities to work with some of the latest technologies and make a real, lasting difference.

As a Delivery Manager you will require knowledge and understanding of Agile methodologies, however, knowledge and experience of other methodologies, in addition to Agile, are welcome.

The complexity or breadth of products or teams will vary in this role, depending on the context of the work assigned.
