About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Agile Delivery Manager to join a new software engineering team delivering a high-priority backlog of items focused on service security, testability, resilience, and recoverability

.

This is a hands-on delivery role – not coordination-only. You will act as a Scrum Master/Delivery Manager, working directly with engineers on day-to-day delivery, driving sprint execution, and ensuring high-quality software outcomes.

You will collaborate closely with technical leads and Product Managers to prioritise and refine the backlog, manage delivery risks and dependencies, and influence senior stakeholders with clear, evidence-based reporting.

Key Responsibilities

  * Lead agile ceremonies including sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives.

  * Actively remove blockers and manage scope, flow, and prioritisation.

  * Work directly with developers, testers, and DevOps engineers in a modern software engineering environment.

  * Support delivery across complex technical concerns such as resilience, security, and recoverability.

  * Maintain and refine backlogs and delivery plans in collaboration with Product Managers and technical leads.

  * Provide transparent reporting and influence senior stakeholders with confidence.

Essential Skills & Experience

  * Recent, hands-on agile delivery experience with software development teams.

  * Operating as Scrum Master / Delivery Manager during active software builds.

  * Delivery in modern engineering environments: Git, CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native or platform-based services.

  * Strong senior stakeholder engagement and influence.

  * Practical experience managing delivery risks, dependencies, and complex backlogs.

  * High proficiency with Jira at team and programme level.

  * SFIA Level 6 capability demonstrated through applied experience.

Candidates must clearly evidence what they delivered, how they delivered it, technical challenges faced, and solutions applied.

Technical Environment

  * Cloud platforms (Azure or AWS) as part of software delivery.

  * Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).

  * CI/CD tooling and modern DevOps practices.

  * Automated testing and quality assurance practices.

  * Secure, resilient digital services.

Desirable: Experience with platform or data engineering teams, previous government digital service experience, and ServiceNow delivery/change process familiarity.

Location & Attendance

  * Minimum 60% office attendance required.

  * Candidates must live within a 60–90 minute commute from the office
