• Identify and escalate delivery risks, dependencies and upstream or downstream impacts to keep releases and roadmap initiatives on track.
• Build effective working relationships across the business, influencing colleagues, resolving queries and ensuring actions are followed through.
• Lead and facilitate Agile delivery activities including Daily Stand-ups, Release Planning, Backlog Refinement, Retrospectives and Sprint Reviews.
• Coach and support colleagues within the team, creating an environment that encourages collaboration, learning and delivery excellence.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience of working on Rectification & Remediation projects, with a strong understanding of the R&R lifecycle.
• Strong project management experience, with a track record of leading change from idea through to implementation.
• Strong planning, governance and financial management skills, with experience delivering against scope, cost, quality and timescales.
• Experience working within change lifecycles and supporting governance requirements.
• Experience working in Agile delivery environments, with a good understanding of Agile ways of working.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and negotiation skills, with the confidence to make sound judgements in complex or challenging situations.
