Job Description
Agile Delivery Manager
Manchester (Hybrid - 2 days onsite)£55,000-£65,000 + bonus + benefits
Are you someone who loves bringing structure to complex environments, helping teams work smarter, and making sure great ideas become real customer value? If so, this is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping how digital products are delivered across a major UK brand.
We're looking for an Agile Delivery Manager who thrives at the heart of product and engineering teams-someone who enjoys unpicking how work moves through a system, spotting what gets in the way, and guiding teams toward predictable, sustainable delivery.
What you'll be doing
As an ADM, you'll sit directly inside cross-functional delivery squads, partnering daily with Product and Engineering. Your focus will be on improving flow, building clarity around work, and ensuring teams have what they need to deliver high-quality outcomes.
You'll spend your time:
* Helping teams understand where work is, what's slowing them down, and how to improve pacing and predictability.
* Using data and delivery metrics to uncover bottlenecks and drive meaningful improvements.
* Coaching teams in modern Agile practices and ways of working-far beyond ceremonies and ticket-moving.
* Ensuring dependencies, risks and constraints are surfaced early and handled proactively.
* Supporting compliance-focused work across areas like accounts, payments, and regulatory change.
* Making delivery more transparent, from idea through to implementation.
This is not a traditional project management role. It's hands-on, embedded, and rooted in system-thinking rather than top-down planning.
What we're looking for
You'll likely have experience working inside Agile product teams in a digital or technology environment. You'll be comfortable using delivery data to tell a story, and confident forming strong working relationships at all levels.
We'd love to hear from you if you can demonstrate:
* Experience guiding one or more Agile teams using Scrum, Kanban or hybrid approaches.
* A practical understanding of flow metrics (WIP, throughput, cycle time) and how they influence delivery.
* The ability to make work visible and connect teams around clear goals.
* A calm, collaborative and straightforward communication style.
* Familiarity with tools such as Jira and Confluence.
* A genuine interest in how systems behave, not just how to run ceremonies.
Experience in regulated sectors such as gambling, fintech or gaming is helpful but not essential.
What's great about this role
This is a place where you can genuinely influence change. The organisation is large enough to offer complexity, but small enough that your ideas and insights will be felt quickly. You'll work with open, down-to-earth people who value honesty, accountability and getting work done without unnecessary noise.
Benefits
* £55k-£65k salary
* Discretionary bonus
* Increasing annual leave entitlement
* 24/7 online GP access
* Enhanced family leave
* Employee wellbeing and financial support programmes
* Hybrid working (2 days onsite)
If you enjoy improving delivery systems, working closely with product and engineering, and helping teams operate at their best, we'd love to hear from you.
