Job Title: Lead Agile Delivery Manager
Location: Hybrid 2x/week in Leeds (UK-based)
Duration: 6 Months
Sector: NHS / Public Sector
Are you a seasoned Agile Delivery Manager with a strong background in the NHS or wider public sector?
We’re looking for a Lead Agile Delivery Manager to join a high-impact team delivering digital transformation across critical services. You’ll work at the strategic level, partnering with the Lead Product Manager, while also providing mentorship and support to Delivery Managers across multiple agile teams.
The Role:
As Lead Agile Delivery Manager, you’ll take a birds-eye view of delivery across a portfolio of projects—many of which are at the heart of public-facing services. Your role will be split between shaping the strategic delivery approach, supporting long-term planning and capability building, and acting as a trusted advisor to Delivery Managers embedded within individual teams.
You’ll be pivotal in ensuring that agile principles are effectively applied across the programme, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, sustainable delivery, and user-centred outcomes.
Key Responsibilities:
* Work in close partnership with the Lead Product Manager to set strategic direction and delivery priorities across the programme.
* Guide and support individual Delivery Managers, helping them overcome blockers, improve delivery flow, and align with broader goals.
* Take a lead role in cross-team planning, governance, and reporting—ensuring dependencies are identified and managed.
* Champion agile delivery principles at a leadership level, coaching stakeholders on best practices in a public sector context.
* Engage with NHS and other public sector stakeholders to ensure delivery meets policy, regulatory and user needs.
About You:
* Proven experience as a Senior or Lead Delivery Manager, ideally within NHS or public sector digital teams.
* Demonstrated ability to lead delivery across multiple agile teams and manage complex, interdependent workstreams.
* Strong strategic thinking and communication skills, with the ability to influence and align cross-functional stakeholders.
* Deep understanding of agile and lean methodologies, and how to adapt them in large-scale public sector environments.
* Confident working with multidisciplinary teams, including Product, Design, Data, and Technology.
* A natural mentor with experience coaching Delivery Managers and uplifting delivery capability across an organisation.
Nice to Have:
* Familiarity with GDS (Government Digital Service) standards and service assessments.
* Background in healthcare, social care, or government digital transformation.
