Requirements
We're looking for a Contract Agile Delivery Manager who shares our values of pragmatism, professionalism, and transparency.
Working from your affiliated office location (London, Leeds, or Manchester) or remotely with clients closer to home, you'll join us on an initial contract basis and get stuck into real delivery challenges from day one. This isn't a role where you'll sit within a single team for years; you'll work across a variety of internal and client projects, bringing structure, momentum, and clarity wherever you land.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You might be:
- Overseeing a client project delivered by one of our own teams, anything from a greenfield build for a startup to a mission-critical system for a large enterprise
- Working alongside our embedded Software Craftspeople inside a client's existing development team, helping them get better at delivering their own software
- Introducing the values of agile and software craftsmanship to an organisation through coaching and mentoring
Whatever the context, you'll be responsible for ensuring the team is equipped, focused, and supported to meet its commitments: coaching and mentoring to build a cohesive, healthy culture, and working closely with clients to build trust and alignment. You'll help teams proactively manage risks, issues, and dependencies, and you'll turn a shared vision into a workable roadmap and an effective backlog.
Because this is a contract engagement, we need someone who can move fast, be comfortable adapting to new clients, teams, and ways of working without a long ramp-up period.
What You'll Bring
- A track record of owning roadmaps or project plans, and confidence managing stakeholders, including the difficult conversations
- A genuine belief in agile ways of working, with the experience to teach it and challenge mindsets where needed
- A collaborative, people-first approach; balanced with the discipline and rigour good delivery demands
- The ability to lead at all levels, taking ownership of delivery while empowering the team to find its own best way of working
- Prior experience working within a consultancy, comfortable juggling multiple concurrent clients and projects rather than embedding long-term in a single product team
- Experience delivering or supporting data lake implementations, with an understanding of the particular delivery challenges around data platform and data engineering initiatives; strongly desirable

Benefits
- Work alongside some of the best software craftspeople in the industry
- Exposure to a genuinely wide variety of clients, sectors, and project types
- A culture built on transparency, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement, not just delivery theatre
- Part of the team behind the London Software Craftsmanship Community, one of the largest tech communities in the world
