Careers: Agile Delivery Manager

Join our experienced Delivery Team and develop your Agile project management career on cutting-edge digital transformation projects in membership and charity sectors.

Agile Delivery Manager

Our Agile Delivery Managers are responsible for guiding their teams to success on complex integrated digital CMS and CRM projects. You will be an expert in agile delivery methodologies with a good understanding of how to plan work in an iterative way delivering continual value to our clients during a project.

We believe passionately in the benefits of agile, but the nature of the third sector and our projects means that we are often (but not always) constrained by scope and budget.

As such we apply a PRINCE2 Agile framework to our projects so that we can actively manage scope change and budget whilst our developers and consultants can leverage lean, agile working practices to deliver.
