The Role
In this role, you will work closely with Product Managers and delivery teams to understand their individual ways of working, including Agile maturity, challenges, and opportunities for improvement.
Partnering with the Head of Delivery, you will help shape and advocate for the Delivery Framework, define and track north star metrics, and provide coaching, mentoring, and guidance to support teams in achieving their goals.
You will proactively identify and remove impediments to fast, high-quality, high-value delivery, collaborating both within Product Engineering and across wider stakeholder groups such as Operations. Where required, you will also take direct ownership and leadership of business-critical delivery initiatives.
