DWP. Digital with Purpose.

We are looking for an Agile Delivery Manager to join our community of tech experts in DWP Digital.

This is not a traditional project management role. We're looking for skilled agile delivery managers, who have experience of delivering software in an agile environment.

You'll enable a multi-disciplinary team through different phases, as we use fresh ideas and leading-edge tech to build and maintain digital solutions that will be used by nearly every person in the UK.

You'll join our Data Enablement team. Our work is at the forefront of DWP's Data Transformation, which is all about delivering results that improve citizens lives.

The migration is crucial to DWP, to ensure successful delivery of information to other government departments and outside organisations that use and rely on DWP data.

Delivering with People.

Our Agile Delivery Managers enable high-performing digital teams to create, build, innovate and deliver. We create psychologically safe spaces where digital experts can be at their best.

It's a complex landscape and you'll need your skills as a persuasive and engaging communicator, and your experience of delivering and solving cross-cutting problems to get the job done.

You'll make sure they have what they need to deliver the best services. You'll identify blockers, and find the best way round through, and over.

You will empower and enable experts in software engineering, process design, user research and user experience design, as well as policy development.

Developing a World-Class Practice.

Our Agile Delivery practice is thriving with over 200 members. We lead a cross-government community which meets once a month to share ideas and discuss emerging trends.

New joiners and long-time members of our community love how much support is available, and the degree of collaboration in DWP.

We want you to be at your best. You'll have open access to experts from across our community and across DWP Digital, for coaching, mentoring, certifications, book budgets and lots more.

What skills, knowledge and experience will you need? How will this be assessed?

The application process for these roles includes a personal statement. This is your opportunity to showcase clear examples and evidence of how you meet the following:

• Experience of delivering software at pace in an agile environment.
• A good understanding of agile principles and practices.
• Promoting a healthy team culture, managing team dynamics and fostering a continuous improvement environment.
• Strong leadership skills with a track record of motivating high performing teams.
• Communicating in a straightforward, transparent and engaging manner.

The sift panel will use the information in your employment history, personal statement, and technical statement to assess your experience, skills and knowledge against the essential criteria above.

Location: You'll join us in our brilliant digital hub in Blackpool, based on the outskirts of the town, just a 15 minute drive from the train station.

Hybrid Working: We work a hybrid model - you'll spend some time working at home and some time collaborating face to face in a hub.

Pay: We offer competitive pay of up to £45,081.

Pension: You'll get a brilliant civil service pension with employer contributions worth 28.97%.

Holidays: A generous leave package starting at 26 days rising to 31 days over time.
