About the Role
As a Delivery Manager, you will work closely with Data Engineering teams to deliver high‑value products and initiatives in a complex, evolving environment. You should understand the intent behind agile delivery principles and apply them pragmatically to improve flow, alignment, and outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with engineering and product teams to plan, execute, and deliver high‑quality outcomes with clear evidence of impact.
- Effectively sequence work by mapping dependencies across teams and systems, proactively identifying blockers and coordinating timelines for smooth, predictable delivery.
- Ensure effective team rhythms and alignment, adding value to ceremonies and evolving them where they are insufficient.
- Shape and evolve ways of working based on what actually works, avoiding rigid frameworks.
- Make delivery visible and outcome‑focused through meaningful metrics.
- Identify and address systemic issues that impact delivery at scale, not just team‑level blockers.
- Drive continuous improvement through practical experimentation and evidence.
- Build strong stakeholder relationships through honest, data‑driven communication.
- Contribute to the evolution of delivery practices across Data Engineering.
Required Qualifications
- Proven experience delivering real, measurable outcomes in a delivery role, not just facilitating agile processes.
- A pragmatic approach to delivery – solid understanding of agile frameworks without relying on them rigidly.
- Experience working in complex or scaled environments with multiple teams and dependencies.
- Ability to use data and metrics to drive decisions and improvements.
- Strong problem‑solving mindset, comfortable tackling ambiguity and systemic challenges.
- Strong ownership and accountability for outcomes, driving change in complex environments.
- Ambition to grow and take on broader delivery challenges, including operating at greater scale and influence.
- Curiosity about how AI is shaping delivery and product development, and willingness to experiment with new ways of working.
- Agile certification (e.g., Certified Scrum Master, Professional Scrum Master) desirable.
- Experience working in data or platform engineering environments – desirable.
