Are you an experienced Agile Delivery professional who thrives on leading complex technology initiatives and enabling high-performing teams? Do you enjoy working at the intersection of business and technology, ensuring ambitious programmes are delivered efficiently, transparently and with real impact? If so, this could be an excellent next step.
Our client, a respected financial services technology organisation, is investing heavily in its digital platforms to enhance client experience and modernise core services. As part of this transformation, they are seeking an Agile Delivery Lead to take ownership of a high-profile technology programme, working closely with engineering, product, QA and business stakeholders to ensure successful delivery.
In this role, you will be responsible for guiding delivery teams through Agile best practices, ensuring work is prioritised effectively and delivered in line with agreed milestones. You will own delivery plans and roadmaps, lead task breakdowns, estimation and planning, and facilitate Agile ceremonies including stand-ups, sprint planning, reviews and retrospectives. Acting as a servant leader, you'll remove blockers, manage dependencies and risks, and create an environment where teams can perform at their best.
You will play a central role in stakeholder communication, ensuring clear, consistent updates on progress, velocity, risks and outcomes. Using delivery metrics such as burndown, cadence and throughput, you will promote a data-driven approach to continuous improvement and flow optimisation. You'll also manage external relationships where required, ensuring all parties are aligned to delivery goals.
The successful candidate will bring strong experience leading Agile delivery in a technology-driven environment, ideally within financial services or a regulated industry. You'll have an excellent understanding of the software development lifecycle, be highly proficient with Jira, and be confident working with technical teams - able to challenge, coach and support without needing to be hands-on. Strong communication skills, emotional intelligence and the ability to manage conflict constructively are essential.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking financial technology organisation where Agile delivery is central to strategy and success. You'll work on meaningful, high-impact initiatives in a collaborative hybrid environment, with the autonomy to shape delivery outcomes and ways of working.
