Senior Agile Delivery Manager
Lancashire - Hybrid (2 days min onsite)
Salary up to 70K

We're working with a large organisation that's going through an exciting period of digital and technology change, and they're looking for an experienced Senior Agile Delivery Manager to join their IT Product & Delivery team.

This isn't just a role where you'll be running stand-ups and keeping projects on track.

You'll have real ownership across complex, high-risk digital products and services, working across multiple teams and senior stakeholders to make sure delivery is focused, joined-up and actually delivering value.

What you'll do as Senior Agile Delivery Manager:

  • Owning delivery plans, risks, issues, dependencies and assurance across multiple workstreams
  • Working with multidisciplinary teams to remove blockers and keep delivery moving
  • Using Agile and Lean approaches such as Scrum, Kanban or hybrid models, adapting them to suit the environment
  • Coaching teams and senior stakeholders to improve Agile maturity and ways of working
  • Working closely with Product, Architecture, Security, Operations and wider business teams
  • Managing senior stakeholders and presenting delivery updates through governance and strategic forums
  • Having the confidence to challenge around scope, risks and deadlines when needed
  • Turning complex technical delivery issues into clear, straightforward information for non-technical stakeholders
  • Providing leadership and line management to delivery practitioners and analysts
  • Helping shape Communities of Practice and improve delivery standards across the wider organisation
What we are looking for:
  • Strong experience delivering complex, high-risk digital services using Agile
  • Excellent knowledge of Agile and Lean delivery, with the ability to apply it pragmatically rather than following a framework for the sake of it
  • Experience working with and influencing senior stakeholders
  • Strong understanding of delivery risk, dependencies, financial management and suppliers
  • Experience leading multidisciplinary teams and creating high-performing delivery environments
  • The ability to understand technical challenges and explain them clearly to non-technical audiences
  • Experience with tools such as Azure DevOps or ServiceNow is desirable

If you're an Agile Delivery Manager and you're looking for a role where you can have a genuine influence on how technology is delivered, we'd love to hear from you.
