Senior Delivery Manager
Department: Delivery
About the Role
We work within a Scaled Agile (SAFe) environment and are looking for an experienced delivery professional who brings a pragmatic and collaborative approach, with a strong focus on value delivery.
While experience of SAFe would be valuable, we would also welcome applications from experienced, results-driven technical Project Managers who are interested in making the transition to Agile and SAFe ways of working.
You’ll have significant experience of delivering initiatives through the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and be comfortable working in complex technical environments.
You’ll have the tenacity and resilience to navigate complexity, bringing structure and clarity where there is ambiguity.
You’ll be a confident and effective stakeholder manager, able to build strong relationships and communicate clearly.
You’ll be driven, proactive and outcomes-focused, with the ability to build momentum, remove obstacles and enable teams to perform at their best.
Strong risk and issue management will be central to your approach.
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’ll proactively identify risks and potential issues early, assess their impact, and take action to address them before they become barriers to delivery.
Above all, you’ll bring leadership, a strong sense of ownership and a commitment to delivery excellence, with a focus on delivering outcomes that enhance the experience of our students and staff.
This is a full-time post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered an indefinite contract.
