Agile Delivery Manager
Industry: Public Sector / Tech Consultancy
Location: Remote (Occasional travel to Client site or the Godalming / Milton Keynes offices)
Salary: £65,000 - £75,000 + Benefits
Must be eligible for SC Clearance
We're working with a brilliant tech consultancy who've spent over 35 years delivering data, digital and solutions work almost exclusively for the UK public sector. Think law enforcement, national meteorological services, consumer safety systems and greenhouse gas monitoring.
Real work, with real impact on people's lives. They've built a culture that people genuinely rate too.
The Role
You'll be leading teams of 5 to 10 through complex, cloud based delivery, keeping things moving, keeping stakeholders aligned and keeping quality high.
Specifically, you'll be:
- Owning end to end technical delivery of government projects, making sure everything meets the GDS Service Standard
- Leading service assessments and managing supplier performance
- Coaching and motivating your team, building a genuinely collaborative, high performing environment
- Building strong, honest relationships with stakeholders at every level
- Leading the design and rollout of forward thinking, customer focused solutions
- Spotting risks early and managing them before they become problems
- Using commercial judgement to manage scope, timelines and resource properly
- Supporting procurement processes with clarity, from vendor engagement through to contract management
- Leading delivery of scalable, secure, resilient systems in cloud environments like AWS, Azure or GCP
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.
What You'll Bring
- Extensive experience delivering against the GDS Service Standard, this is a must
- A strong track record delivering with Agile frameworks like Scrum or Kanban
- Proven experience leading cross functional teams under pressure
- Confidence engaging diverse stakeholder groups and translating business needs into action
- A solid grasp of commercial models and procurement processes in regulated environments
- Hands-on experience with cloud native or cloud hosted solutions
- Excellent written, verbal and presentation skills, you'll need to make complex things simple for a range of audiences
Nice to have but not essential:
- Experience working within a consultancy setting, and background in Discovery or Alpha phases including user research and service design.
