• Running Agile delivery processes including sprint planning, backlog refinement and Scrum ceremonies
• Coaching customers and delivery teams on Agile and Scrum best practice
• Managing project budgets, forecasts, commercials and change requests
• Identifying and mitigating project risks, issues and dependencies
• Producing delivery reporting and communicating progress to senior stakeholders
• Building strong relationships across customers, internal teams and third-party suppliers
• Leading cross-functional teams to achieve successful project outcomes

Desirable

• Scrum Master certification (CSM, PSM or equivalent)
• AgilePM, Prince2, PMP or other project management qualifications
• Experience within technology consulting, professional services or managed services environments
• Experience leading digital transformation initiatives
• Experience working within complex enterprise customer environments

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Combine Agile leadership with commercial and delivery ownership
• Work directly with senior client stakeholders and decision-makers

• Exposure to complex, business-critical transformation programmes
• Opportunity to shape successful outcomes from project inception through to operational support
