Overview

Software Delivery Manager – Agile Transformation Leader in Manchester (Hybrid, 2 days in office). Drive transformation, lead a talented team, and shape the delivery of mission-critical software at scale for a national organisation advancing society through technology. Following rapid growth through acquisitions, the organisation operates several software verticals, each as its own business unit but united by a forward-looking technology division. This role offers real challenge, variety, and opportunity for career growth across different teams. You will take ownership of a high-profile integration platform and lead a squad of around ten people — including developers, testers, analysts, architects and a product team.

This is a chance to make a measurable difference by unblocking delivery, embedding agile ways of working, and supporting critical projects underpinning some of the UK’s most important digital services.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead a cross-functional squad delivering complex integrations (120+ connections between core systems and third parties).
  • Drive agile transformation — progressing a team from ~50% maturity toward ~80% through coaching, consistency, and cultural change.
  • Focus on two key delivery outcomes: velocity (more work completed, faster) and cycle time (shorter time from start to finish).
  • Identify and remove blockers across the lifecycle — from requirements and testing through to environments and third-party dependencies.
  • Play a visible leadership role in shaping delivery culture, sitting on the divisional leadership team.
  • Oversee critical projects such as replacing legacy systems that support training for 45,000 external associates each year.

About You

  • A proven delivery leader: proactive, quick-thinking, engaging, and able to energise those around you.
  • Strong background in software delivery, with solid understanding of testing, requirements, architecture, and environments.
  • Hands-on experience with Agile approaches (Scrum, Kanban, hybrids) — not just in theory, but with real examples of improving team performance.
  • Technically aware, with the ability to challenge, unblock, and guide teams across the SDLC.
  • Naturally curious, resilient, and passionate about finding new ways to deliver value faster.

Why Join?

  • Impact – Work on technology that underpins services relied on by millions.
  • Variety – Opportunity to move sideways into other verticals as the organisation grows.
  • Challenge – Deliver complex integrations and transformation projects in a high-stakes, regulated environment.
  • Progression – Be part of a large, ambitious technology division where strong performers are recognised and promoted.

The Package

  • Manchester-based, 2 days per week in office
  • Generous holiday allowance + pension + healthcare + additional wellbeing benefits

Next Steps
