You will be supporting multiple teams who are dedicated and driven, but require regular guidance and support for best practices, JIRA standards, ways of working, and advice to build and get the most out of their metrics. As their Agile Delivery Manger/Scrum Master, you'll have the opportunity to guide and inspire, whilst adapting and enforcing the standards and principles that we already have.

- Has experience as an Agile Delivery Manager or Scrum Master, with a strong track record in delivering complex projects,

- Can manage multiple projects, ensuring practices are put in place to deliver on time and within scope,
- Can build strong relationships to unlock the team's potential,
- Is comfortable to push back when necessary to drive both efficiency and progress

- Can help foster an environment of psychological safety that enables team members to thrive. This is very important to us, as we are a highly diverse group made up of people from many different ethnicities, religious beliefs, and gender identities.
You may not possess every single required skill listed, and that's perfectly fine! If you have most of them, along with grit, passion, a desire to learn quickly, and the willingness to get stuck in, we encourage you to apply.
