Agile Project Manager
Manchester &/or Remote
circa £40,000 - £55,000 + bonus
The Company and Role
You'll be joining one of the UK's largest digital brands as they continue on their Agile journey. They have a varied and interesting tech portfolio (products and services) that you'll get to put your unique spin on helping manage.
They're responsive to ideas and change, committed to staying ahead of the curve and listening to their people. Think cloud transformations, greenfield projects, modern technologies, methods, and principles. In other words, there's always something new and exciting round the corner. This kind of opportunity to have such an impact on a well known brand is rare, and truly career defining.

· create clarity and predictability within your team through the use of tools and metrics like story mapping, roadmaps, sprint plans, burn down charts, cycle times etc.
· identity and manage impediments faced by the team through strong communication with the wider teams and stakeholders.
· encourage the team to be self-organising whilst building a safe environment so that issues can be raised without fear of criticism or judgement, with a focus on the positives and problem solving.
We're looking for a mix of the following:
· Experience in a Scrum Master, Project Manager, and/or Delivery role
· Strong decision making, prioritisation, interpersonal, and communication skills
· Knowledge of Agile, Lean, and Waterfall methods
· Experience using a variety of Agile Project Management methods
