Agile Lead, Managing Consultant- London, Leeds, Manchester or Newcastle

Are you passionate about developing a career in technology? Does the idea of working for different clients on complex business-critical IT projects excite you? If yes, then read on!

Our clients are some of the biggest names in industry and our engagements are every bit as challenging as you’d find in large consulting firms. We believe we offer a significantly better work-life balance than in other IT consultancies because you are involved every step of the way, making career decisions together. We are committed to your personal development and promote continuous growth of skills through a variety of training courses (of your choice).

Our experienced management consultants can ally technical competence with a pragmatic approach to delivering complex IT solutions leveraging agile ways of working. Our Agile Lead roles have highly tuned, multi-year, hands-on agile programme delivery experience combined with proven competency in integrating modern approaches into more heritage or waterfall project governance structures and organisations.

Your agile experience, coupled with consulting skills including client management, business development and hands-on technical / tooling skills, are key to enabling our clients to embed industry-leading agile practices across products, projects, and programmes.

This is a permanent within our Management Consulting function. At Credera, we operate a flexible hybrid working model, requiring 3 days per week onsite - either at client sites or your local Credera office (London, Leeds, Manchester or Newcastle). We value collaboration and client impact, balancing flexibility with in-person connection to deliver exceptional results.
