Technical delivery leadership - EL1 equivalent

This technical delivery role focuses on leading multiple scrum teams responsible for APIs and backend services, maintaining delivery momentum across Agile and DevOps workflows, and coordinating releases with mobile, portal and other consuming teams.

  • Manage and prioritise the product backlog with the Project Manager, Product Owner and key stakeholders.
  • Identify and remove blockers, manage team capacity and maintain momentum across competing priorities.
  • Manage sprint and release planning, project scope, delivery timelines, governance and reporting.
  • Coordinate API versioning, deprecation and release sequencing with mobile, portal and other consuming teams.
  • Oversee testing strategy, automation, quality control and incident and problem resolution.
  • Coach team members in Agile frameworks and Scrum practices.
  • Work closely with technical teams, business representatives and senior stakeholders.
Essential experience
  • At least three years of proven end-to-end technical project delivery experience.
  • At least two years of practical Scrum Master experience delivering complex IT projects within a large program.
  • Demonstrated experience using Scrum, SAFe or comparable Agile delivery methods.
  • Strong backlog-management, stakeholder-engagement and delivery-prioritisation capability.
  • Strong understanding of testing strategy, automation and quality control.
  • Calm and flexible judgement when managing change, uncertainty and competing priorities.

Experience with APIs, enterprise integration, CI/CD, AWS, Git, infrastructure as code, cyber security, ITIL or service delivery will be highly regarded. PMP, PRINCE2, SAFe Agile or another recognised project-management qualification will also be viewed favourably.
