  • Collaborate with Product Owners, Business Analysts, and key stakeholders to prioritize and manage the product backlog.
  • Ensure GDS compliance and governance frameworks are adhered to across the delivery lifecycle.
  • Identify risks and issues early, working with stakeholders to mitigate and resolve them effectively.
  • Promote continuous improvement in delivery processes, focusing on quality, speed, and value.
  • Monitor project progress, track key performance metrics, and report to senior stakeholders.
  • Foster a positive and inclusive team culture, ensuring strong communication and collaboration between all team members, both onshore and offshore.
  • Support and mentor team members in agile practices, helping them to grow professionally.


Required Skills & Experience:

  • Proven experience as an Agile Delivery Manager, with a strong track record of delivering software projects using Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, etc.).
  • In-depth knowledge of the Government Digital Service (GDS) guidelines and frameworks.
  • Experience managing offshore 3rd party support teams and vendors, with a strong ability to coordinate between diverse, remote teams.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders effectively.
  • Strong understanding of software development processes, from design and development through to delivery and support.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience with agile tools such as Jira, Confluence, and other project management tools.
  • A collaborative leadership style, with a focus on coaching teams and facilitating problem-solving.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a focus on delivering value to the end user.


Desirable Skills:

  • Experience working within public sector digital transformations and delivering GDS-compliant services.
  • Familiarity with cloud technologies (e.g., AWS, Azure).
  • Experience with DevOps or continuous integration/delivery (CI/CD) practices.
  • Knowledge of ITIL, Service Management, or IT Operations best practices.
