Lead. Inspire. Deliver.

Are you a passionate Agile leader with a talent for driving high-performing teams and delivering outstanding digital products? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where collaboration, innovation, and customer value are at the heart of everything you do?

If so, we want you on our team!

You'll play a pivotal role in leading cross-functional teams to deliver cutting-edge digital solutions. You'll be the driving force behind Agile best practices, removing blockers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and ensuring smooth, efficient delivery.

We also provide integration to externals and numerous other government projects.

Our teams and our delivery managers work on products that impacts some of the most vulnerable people in society. We're looking for people who are as motivated by that unique purpose as we are.

We are looking for an enthusiastic Agile Delivery Manager who will be comfortable working alongside the Product Manager and with technical and data professionals, covering a wide breadth of activity which focuses on creating services focused on improving citizen experience.

You'll join a thriving community of practice, where you'll share best practice, insight and support with a bunch of other talented, expert Agile Delivery Managers.

We're looking for a candidate that will:

• Champion Agile Delivery - Lead teams using Agile frameworks, ensuring efficiency and value driven outcomes.
• Drive High Performance - Motivate and mentor teams to work collaboratively, optimising workflows and maximising productivity.
• Remove Barriers - Identify and eliminate impediments, keeping teams focused and moving forward.
