• Review application performance and operational metrics/analytics to identify bottlenecks and drive improvements.
• Own delivery plans, timelines, scope, dependencies, and resource allocation to ensure predictable outcomes and on-time delivery.
• Lead delivery in an Agile environment (Scrum/Kanban), supporting ceremonies, backlog readiness, and continuous flow of value.
• Act as the primary point of contact for business and technology stakeholders, providing clear progress updates, managing risks, and removing blockers.
• Promote a learning culture, run retrospectives with impact, analyse delivery metrics, and implement improvements to ways of working and engineering practices.

To be successful, you will:

• Proven experience as a Pega Delivery Lead (or similar) delivering complex solutions in large organisations, ideally data-driven decisioning programmes.
