We're looking for a Senior Delivery Manager who can bring structure, energy, and a clear Agile mindset to a strategic and high-impact area of work.

• Lead Agile delivery across a multi-disciplinary team (data, design, architecture, policy)

• Be part of a supportive Delivery Manager community

• Proven experience leading Agile delivery, ideally using Scrum or similar frameworks

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, you'll bring people together to get things done

• Ability to deliver in non-product environments, where outcomes depend on coordination and influence

• Experience with large-scale transformation or strategy work

• Confidence working with a range of roles, including architects, analysts, policy leads, designers, and senior stakeholders
