Senior Agile Delivery Manager

• 12months - £600PD Inside IR 35

Our client, that operates within the public sector domain is hiring a hands on Senior Agile Delivery Manager who has experience working with large cloud software engineering teams (Azure or AWS) within a DevOps (Terraform) environment. This is a CRM, migration project. Non-engineering delivery is not preferred.

You can be based in Newcastle, Leeds or Birmingham for this project on a hybrid basis. Ideally the chosen candidate will have BPSS clearance.

This is a hands-on delivery role, not coordination. You will operate as a Scrum Master / Delivery Lead, working directly with engineering teams to drive delivery across a defined backlog focused on security, resilience, and service performance.

The role:

1. Lead agile delivery for a software engineering team in an active build environment
2. Run sprint ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives)
3. Remove blockers and manage delivery flow, scope, and priorities
4. Work closely with engineers, testers, DevOps, and architects
5. Drive delivery across technically complex areas (security, resilience, recoverability)
6. Engage and influence senior stakeholders with clear delivery reporting
7. Manage risks, dependencies, and backlog refinement
8. Use Jira to track, manage, and report delivery at team and programme level

Core responsibilities:

• Proven hands-on agile delivery within software engineering teams
• Experience operating as a Scrum Master / Delivery Manager in active build environments
• Strong understanding of modern engineering practices: Version control (e.g. Git), CI/CD pipelines, Cloud-native/platform-based services
• Experience managing complex backlogs, risks, and dependencies
• Strong stakeholder engagement at senior level
• Advanced Jira capability (team + programme level)
• Demonstrable SFIA Level 6 capability
