This is a varied, fast-moving role suited for someone with strong delivery experience ready for more responsibility.

• Coordinate day-to-day delivery across multiple internal squads to keep them aligned, focused, and unblocked.
• Maintain stream roadmaps, plans, estimates, schedules, risks, and issues, dynamically updating them as priorities shift and proactively resolving or escalating risks before they impact delivery.
• Track deliverable status, hold teams accountable to agreed scope, timeframes, and commitments, and communicate progress clearly to stakeholders while supporting the Senior Project Manager in meeting scope, budget, and contractual requirements.
• Set up and manage Jira tickets and boards, while maintaining accurate, useful Confluence pages and project documentation.
• Ensure key delivery commitments are met by aligning squad outputs, managing risks and issues, and driving visibility across technical and project teams.

Who are you?

• You have strong experience as a scrum master or delivery lead in a fast-paced environment, with a track record of planning and delivering to milestones.
• You understand agile methodologies and apply them pragmatically, with experience managing roadmaps and dependencies across multiple teams.
• You are positive, confident, energetic, and excel at building strong working relationships.
• You learn fast, take initiative, and focus on getting the job done.
• You communicate well, both verbally and in writing, with technical and non-technical audiences.
• You are organised and manage your time well when handling multiple deadlines.
