Job Description

Role: Senior Agile Delivery Manager

Duration: 12 months

Day rate: £(Apply online only) per day ( inside IR35)

Locations: Newcastle, Leeds or Birmingham

On-site: Minimum 60% office attendance (Hybrid)

In this role you would join a newly formed software engineering team focused on a defined backlog of 20-30 items around service security, testability, resilience and recoverability. This is very much a hands-on delivery role - not a coordination-only position.

What you would be doing

Acting as Scrum Master / Delivery Manager for a software engineering team day to day.
Leading sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews and retrospectives.
Removing blockers, managing scope, flow and prioritisation to maintain strong delivery momentum.
Working closely with engineers, a Senior Technical BA and an Architect to ensure the backlog is technically ready, prioritised and executable.
Managing risks, dependencies and complex backlogs, using Jira at both team and initiative level.
Providing clear, evidence-based reporting and influencing senior technical and non-technical stakeholders. 

Technical environment (you should be comfortable operating in most of these areas):

Cloud platforms such as Azure and/or AWS as part of software product delivery (not migration-only).
CI/CD tooling and modern DevOps practices.
Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform).
Automated testing and quality practices.
Secure, resilient digital services. 

What the client is specifically looking for

Recent, hands-on agile delivery with software development teams in active build.
Experience acting as a Scrum Master / Delivery Manager embedded with engineers.
Practical experience with version control (e.g. Git), CI/CD and cloud-native or platform-based services.
Strong stakeholder engagement and the ability to challenge and influence at senior level.
High proficiency in Jira, plus familiarity with delivery governance tools (e.g. ServiceNow is a bonus). 

Experience focused only on cloud migrations, Dynamics CRM or purely integration/database projects will not be sufficient unless there is clear, recent evidence of end-to-end software product delivery.

Why it might interest you

Opportunity to lead delivery in a modern engineering setup where agile ways of working are taken seriously.
Clear, technically focused backlog around security, resilience and reliability - not a vague transformation brief.
Influential position engaging directly with senior stakeholders on a visible digital initiative. 

If you are within a realistic commute of Newcastle, Leeds or Birmingham and this aligns with your recent experience, I would be keen to share more details and understand your availability and expectations
