Fancy making a difference in a company that’s changing insurance for good? Engaging and collaborative? Forward thinking and meticulous? Passionate about Agile?

These are just some of the skills you'll bring as the **Senior Agile Delivery Lead** to our Technology and Data teams in **Hayward's Heath**. Working flexibly, you'll spend most of your time working from home, with a day a week in the office (so living close to Hayward's Heath, West Sussex would be perfect).

The SADL brings energy and enthusiasm to create the right environment by removing blockers, and building an environment of trust, self-organisation and ensuring the health and happiness of the teams. Continual Improvement is at the heart of the SADL role and is seen as the champion of continuous improvement activities, always seeking to reduce waste and increase productivity. You’ll thrive on providing coaching and mentoring to others and will consult and support the wider areas of Tech and Data, leading on key initiatives to support FCG in their Agile Journey, and will be a key driver in the adoption of new ways of working, experiments, and innovative improvements.
