Agile Delivery Manager

Agile Delivery Manager required to join a high-profile international charity on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

The organisation is entering an important phase of growth and transformation, with technology playing an increasingly central role in how it scales services, supports users and delivers trusted, high-quality digital operations.

The role would suit someone who has worked as an Agile Delivery Manager, Delivery Manager, Agile Project Manager or Digital Project Manager and is comfortable operating in a growing, changing organisation where processes, tools and ways of working are still being developed.

• Lead and support the delivery of digital, technology and service improvement initiatives.
• Work closely with product, engineering, service operations and business teams to plan, prioritise and deliver work.
• Establish clear delivery plans, milestones, governance and reporting.
• Facilitate agile ceremonies, planning sessions, stand-ups, retrospectives and delivery reviews.
• Help teams manage backlogs, dependencies, risks, issues and blockers.
• Improve delivery visibility across priorities, progress, decisions and constraints.
• Support teams to adopt practical agile ways of working that fit the organisation’s maturity and culture.
• Coordinate activity across internal teams, suppliers and third-party delivery partners.
• Ensure stakeholders have clear and timely information on delivery progress, risks and decisions needed.
• Help build better delivery discipline, rhythm and confidence across the technology function.
• Champion continuous improvement, collaboration and user-focused delivery.

• Experience as an Agile Delivery Manager, Delivery Manager, Agile Project Manager or similar role.
• Strong understanding of agile delivery principles and practical delivery management.
• Experience supporting technology, digital, product or service improvement projects.
• Ability to bring structure and momentum to delivery in an environment where processes are still maturing.
• Experience managing risks, issues, dependencies, plans and delivery reporting.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trust across technical and non-technical teams.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity, changing priorities and evolving requirements.
• Experience facilitating agile ceremonies and helping teams improve how they work.
• Experience using delivery tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Trello or similar.
• Ability to work closely with engineering, product, service operations and business users.
• A practical, improvement-focused approach with strong attention to outcomes, pace and quality.
• An interest in climate, sustainability, standards, data or mission-led work would be an advantage.

This is not a purely administrative project coordination role. The successful candidate will need to be comfortable working hands-on with teams, driving delivery, removing blockers and helping the organisation build more effective ways of delivering technology change.
