The Role Scope

This is more than a squad-level facilitator role. You will bridge squad-level Agile facilitation and cross-team delivery oversight, offering hands‑on delivery support, managing project timelines and risks, and driving continuous improvement. You are a coach, facilitator, and project leader—equally comfortable enabling product squads, managing stakeholders, and driving end-to-end outcomes.

Role key responsibilities:

Project Management & Delivery Leadership

Take end-to-end delivery responsibility across assigned product areas or initiatives, managing scope, schedules, resource alignment, and budgets where applicable.
Support quarterly planning cycles, ensuring dependencies are mapped and plans are set up for predictable delivery.

Provide clear, data‑driven insights on delivery health, trajectory, and risks, maintaining lightweight, effective governance.

Agile Coaching & Team Enablement

Coach squads on Agile principles and practices, tailoring frameworks adapting approaches to suit the context rather than applying frameworks rigidly.
Monitor delivery metrics (such as cycle time and predictability) to improve flow, foster team ownership, and support continuous improvement.

Stakeholder Leadership & Cross-Team Coordination

Serve as a primary point of contact for day‑to‑day stakeholder communication, managing expectations and influencing outcomes.
Collaborate with Product teams, Business Analysts, and Developers to clear blockers and maintain delivery momentum across dependencies.
Support Product and Technology leadership with feasibility data and delivery insights to aid roadmap sequencing and prioritisation.

About You

What we’re looking for

Proven Delivery Track Record: Commercial experience leading agile project delivery and cross‑functional technology initiatives within team environments.
Agile Expertise: Strong understanding of Agile principles and practices, with the ability to apply them pragmatically in different contexts.
Stakeholder Influence: Proven competency in stakeholder management, comfortable influencing decisions and aligning cross‑functional teams.
Project Management Fundamentals: Solid track record in end‑to‑end project management, owning timelines, risk mitigation, and tangible delivery outcomes.
Tooling Proficiency: Confident user of Jira and Confluence for delivery tracking, reporting, and documentation.
Mindset: Proactive, collaborative, and outcome‑driven, with a strong appetite to learn, take ownership, and develop within a growing delivery function.
Desirable: Domain experience in e-commerce, retail, or logistics is an advantage.

Why Join MandM?

Champion Delivery in a Product Operating Model: Help mature and shape delivery practices within an established Product Operating Model across our growing technology function.
Strong Career Growth: Benefit from a collaborative, highly supportive environment and active mentorship to help you continuously develop your delivery capability.
Tangible Ownership: Drive meaningful outcomes across product squads and business initiatives for one of Europe's leading off‑price retailers
