About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Agile Delivery Manager to join a new software engineering team delivering a high-priority backlog of items focused on service security, testability, resilience, and recoverability

.

This is a hands-on delivery role – not coordination-only. You will act as a Scrum Master/Delivery Manager, working directly with engineers on day-to-day delivery, driving sprint execution, and ensuring high-quality software outcomes.

You will collaborate closely with technical leads and Product Managers to prioritise and refine the backlog, manage delivery risks and dependencies, and influence senior stakeholders with clear, evidence-based reporting.

Key Responsibilities

* Lead agile ceremonies including sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives.

* Actively remove blockers and manage scope, flow, and prioritisation.

* Work directly with developers, testers, and DevOps engineers in a modern software engineering environment.

* Support delivery across complex technical concerns such as resilience, security, and recoverability.

* Maintain and refine backlogs and delivery plans in collaboration with Product Managers and technical leads.

* Provide transparent reporting and influence senior stakeholders with confidence.

Essential Skills & Experience

* Recent, hands-on agile delivery experience with software development teams.

* Operating as Scrum Master / Delivery Manager during active software builds.

* Delivery in modern engineering environments: Git, CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native or platform-based services.

* Strong senior stakeholder engagement and influence.

* Practical experience managing delivery risks, dependencies, and complex backlogs.

* High proficiency with Jira at team and programme level.

* SFIA Level 6 capability demonstrated through applied experience.

Candidates must clearly evidence what they delivered, how they delivered it, technical challenges faced, and solutions applied.

Technical Environment

* Cloud platforms (Azure or AWS) as part of software delivery.

* Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).

* CI/CD tooling and modern DevOps practices.

* Automated testing and quality assurance practices.

* Secure, resilient digital services.

Desirable: Experience with platform or data engineering teams, previous government digital service experience, and ServiceNow delivery/change process familiarity.

Location & Attendance

* Minimum 60% office attendance required.

* Candidates must live within a 60–90 minute commute from the office

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.
