**The Role**:
Here at Kin + Carta we are growing our team of highly skilled Delivery Managers. The Agile Delivery Manager role comprises a mix of Agile coaching, project management and client management.

As a Principal Delivery Manager at Kin + Carta you will be responsible for first and foremost for independently taking ownership of your project or programme’s delivery plan and consistently visualising and radiating information for the team and client to ensure transparency. You’ll own the team’s processes, ensuring agile approaches are pragmatically adopted and maintained whilst coaching and mentoring team members and clients to enhance agility. Driving quality and continuous improvement will be central to everything you do and you’ll be skilled at using various tools and techniques to identify where improvements can be made. You will be an expert in utilising data and metrics to track and forecast delivery, use it to manage expectations and highlight areas of inefficiency. You’ll be joining a psychological safe culture and will be committed and passionate about building on that and getting the best from your team.

- You are comfortable taking the initiative and working with ambiguity, helping K+C deliver software and transform clients’ ways of working in new and better ways
- Excellent clear and concise communication skills both written and verbal
- You are able to identify and manage complex RAIDs effectively across complex environments e.g. programmes/multiple teams. Your knowledge of relevant technical stacks / architecture and processes can help spot risks and opportunities.
- You have leveraged your experience and capabilities to teach, coach and mentor more junior members of your teams to help in up-skilling and maintaining delivery quality standards
- You can proactively and comfortably raise difficult issues with clients, and act as a point of escalation, you can balance competing needs and challenging stakeholder relationships to the mutual benefit of K+C and its clients
