Have you got a passion for helping teams move from norming to performing? Do you enjoy navigating complex technical domains? Are you a strong believer in agile as a methodology (and not as a doctrine)?

Perpetual Digital is looking for an experienced Agile Delivery Manager / Scrum Master to join our Engineering team. The role is to sit across two cross-functional scrum squads. They will help drive greater agile efficiencies and processes throughout our engineering and product squads.

They will need to dive into the details, understand the business problems and make informed and well-educated recommendations to the squad.

You'll be a valued member of our engineering squad. You will have the opportunity to play an integral part in driving the technology squad's rhythm, culture, and processes.

Within the Squad- Overall ownership of project delivery- Work with the squads to manage their backlog, estimation, and prioritisation- Digest complex business requirements, understand inter-squad dependencies and actively seek to mitigate blockers- Work with the squad and product owners to prioritise product backlog vs technical debt- Work with business analysts, designers, and product owners to ensure that requirements are of acceptable quality for the engineering squads- Actively support the squad execution on feature delivery, from inception to release.

Cross Squads- Manage and track project issues and risks, identify recurring blockers across squads and proactively address them- Facilitate delivery and release planning between engineering and product squads- Work across multiple squads to ensure delivery consistency and roadmap alignment- Facilitate continuous improvement in delivery practices across the Product Engineering squads.
