Senior Agile Delivery Manager

Location: Newcastle, Leeds, or Birmingham (Minimum 60% Office Attendance Required)

Role Overview

The Senior Agile Delivery Manager is a technical delivery leader responsible for the hands-on delivery of software within a modern engineering environment. This is not a purely administrative role; you will be embedded with engineering teams, navigating technical trade-offs, and driving the end-to-back software development lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

1. Hands-on Agile Delivery

Team Leadership: Act as Scrum Master / Delivery Manager for software engineering teams on a day-to-day basis.

Ceremony Management: Lead high-impact sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives.

Flow Optimization: Actively remove blockers, manage scope, and maintain delivery momentum across sustained periods of active build.

2. Technical Engagement & Engineering Quality

Direct Collaboration: Work alongside developers, testers, and DevOps engineers to manage modern software engineering lifecycles.

Technical Fluency: Confidently engage in discussions regarding technical trade-offs, resilience, security, and recoverability.

Modern Standards: Drive delivery within environments utilizing CI/CD pipelines, version control (Git), and cloud-native services.

3. Stakeholder Influence & Governance

Strategic Influence: Challenge and guide senior technical and non-technical stakeholders using evidence-based reporting.

Transparency: Build trust through consistent performance metrics and radical transparency regarding delivery health.

Change Management: Complete delivery-related governance and change activity (e.g., ServiceNow).

4. Planning & Coordination

Backlog Management: Refine prioritized backlogs in partnership with Product Managers and Technical Leads.

Risk Mitigation: Proactively manage cross-team dependencies and complex risks.

Tooling Mastery: Utilize Jira effectively for tracking and reporting at both the team and initiative level.

Mandatory Skills & Experience

Software Build Experience: Proven track record in active software product delivery (Cloud migrations or CRM implementations alone are insufficient).

Engineering Environment: Recent experience working directly with teams using:

Cloud platforms (AWS or Azure)

Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)

CI/CD tooling and Automated Testing

Agile Expertise: Expert-level application of Scrum/Kanban in a "build" rather than "maintenance" context.

Stakeholder Management: Experience influencing at the senior leadership level.

Complex Problem Solving: Ability to navigate technical concerns like system security and service resilience.

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.
