Delivery Manager

Job Description

Agile Delivery Manager x2
Up to £60k + bonus
Manchester/Hybrid

As a Delivery Manager, I suspect you will want to work with top-class engineering and product squads, so you can ship some really cool features.

You’ll also probably want to work on a platform that hasn’t been iterated to the point of no return over the last twenty years.

You may also want to work for a company who are people-focused, committed to inclusivity and promoting psychological safety.

Then again, if you don’t want to work as a Delivery Manager on a scaling platform with global ambitions, it’s probably worth stopping reading here.

The client in question have a Project Delivery team of ten who are supported by a core product function and an abundance of talent in Engineering, UX, Digital Analytics and Data.

They have a range of squads looking at Marketplace, eCommerce as well as Customer Experiences, with in excess of 50m unique visitors to the site every year.

Essential Skills:
At least three years working within the delivery of tech projects (web, app, platforms)
Used to dealing with cross-functional delivery teams (Engineering, QA, UX, Analytics)
People-focused mindset; you should be someone who enjoys getting the most out of people and get satisfaction from progress
Practical Agile experience, and comfortability with multiple methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, Lean, etc)
Excellent stakeholder management skills – you should be able to have the hard conversations just as much as the nice ones

Desirable Skills:

A decent understanding of technical concepts; able to hold a conversation around backend services or APIs, for example (not essential, by any means).
Understanding of eCommerce journeys or payment gateways
Experience managing project budgets effectively

In return, you’ll get the opportunity to work with an awesome business who are really going places. Salary is broadly up to £60k for this role with a 15% bonus, 25 days holiday (and the ability to buy/sell), plus many other benefits.
