Job Title Senior Agile Delivery Manager

Are you a passionate Agile leader ready to enable high performing teams as they deliver exceptional digital products? Do you thrive in a fast paced environment where collaboration, innovation, and value to users are at the core of everything you do?

As our Agile Delivery Manager, you will lead cross functional teams to deliver cutting edge digital solutions. You will champion Agile ways of working, remove blockers, nurture a culture of continuous improvement, and ensure smooth, effective delivery across all stages of the product lifecycle. The work we do directly impacts some of the most vulnerable people in society, so we are looking for someone motivated by that purpose and excited to contribute to meaningful, user centred digital services.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

What skills, knowledge and experience you need

• Ability to promote a culture of psychological safety, manage team dynamics effectively, and foster an environment of continuous improvement.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with experience building and maintaining productive relationships at all levels.
• A proactive commitment to learning and development, both for your own growth and for supporting the development of others.
• Deep understanding and practical application of Agile principles and practices, ensuring effective, transparent, and value driven delivery.

You and your role

You'll be joining a thriving community of practice, working alongside talented and experienced Agile Delivery Managers who share insight, best practice, and support across a wide range of digital delivery challenges.

You'll champion Agile delivery by leading teams through established frameworks, ensuring that delivery remains efficient, transparent, and focused on driving value. You'll motivate and develop high performing teams, encouraging collaborative working, optimising workflows, and helping individuals reach their full potential.

You'll remove barriers that slow delivery, keeping teams focused and working at pace. You'll also build strong, effective relationships with stakeholders across product, engineering, and leadership to ensure clear alignment on goals and priorities.

You'll foster a culture of quality and continuous improvement by embedding feedback, encouraging learning, and refining ways of working. Using Agile metrics and delivery insights, you'll support informed decisions and help teams continually improve performance.
