About you

As an Agile Delivery Lead you are passionate about the delivery of software projects and products using agile concepts. You enjoy helping development teams to recognise what the true value of the work is and to innovate to find better, more efficient ways to deliver that value.

You may have previously worked as a Delivery Lead, Delivery Manager, Scrum Master or Agile Coach within a software development environment.

The role

You’ll join our Delivery Centre of Excellence where different disciplines work together, within our development teams and with the wider business to:

  • Focus on delivering stakeholder value, ensuring teams have everything they need to produce high-quality work on time
  • Work with our teams to embed agile principles, practices and frameworks
  • Experiment with different approaches (e.g. Scrum, Kanban, Lean) to adapt to the needs of the teams, customers and types of work
  • Work closely with Product Owners to ensure stakeholder expectations are managed correctly
  • Help us develop our delivery capability as we continue to grow the number of software teams

Key responsibilities include:

Facilitation

  • Lead the team in defining and iterating on their ways of working
  • Facilitate the team in their regular events (e.g. planning, retrospectives, refinements)
  • Ensure impediments to progress are removed.

Team leadership and coaching

  • Support the team in defining and living their team values
  • Promote a culture of collaboration within the team and with other teams, key stakeholders and SMEs
  • Provide coaching to the team and to individuals
  • Lead the team in becoming more effective over time
  • Analyse data and metrics to help the team identify areas for improvement
  • Challenge the team to keep improving their processes and ways of working.

Delivering excellence

  • Work with the team to deliver their product goals on time
  • Ensure product quality is maintained
  • Identify and resolve issues that could impact delivery
  • Ensure there is effective monitoring and reporting on progress to provide transparency and visibility to stakeholders.

Communication

  • Work with the Product Owners to ensure excellent communication between the team and key stakeholders
  • Foster a culture of open communication across Heywood.

Heywood has successfully driven quality pension administration outcomes for 50 years. Our mission is to make pension management simple, seamless and stress-free.

Data and innovation drive our technology-enabled solutions; we aim to transform how members navigate their financial journeys and take pride in providing the necessary tools and knowledge to tackle industry challenges.
