• A good understanding of agile principles and practices

You and your role

Our Agile Delivery Managers create psychologically safe spaces, so our high-performing digital teams to create, build, innovate and deliver stuff that works for over 20 million users.

You'll make sure our experts have what they need to deliver the best services. You'll identify blockers, and find the best way round through, and over.

Our focus is on individuals and interactions, values and behaviours - not processes tools or documentations - and we put the user at the centre of everything we do.

One of the great things in DWP is the scale and breadth of activity we're taking on. It is massive. There is a real variety of projects and teams who want your coaching, leadership and empowerment.

Our Agile Delivery practice is thriving with over 200 members.

New joiners, and long time-members of our community love how much support is available, and the degree of collaboration in DWP.

And the opportunities for learning - in whatever form you prefer - are unlimited.
