This role is central to the success of our Data & AI squads, combining the strategic oversight of an Engineering Manager with the execution focus of a Delivery Lead. You will lead cross-functional squads ensuring the robust delivery of scalable data pipelines and ML models. You will be responsible for clearing technical roadblocks, embedding technical guardrails and CI/CD best practices, and ensuring that technical architecture aligns with business value.

Here is a taster of what you can expect in this role: 1. Delivery Leadership (60%) Agile Coaching & Practices Ceremony Facilitation: Play a lead role in the planning and facilitation of agile ceremonies including Daily Scrums, Sprint Planning, Retrospectives, and Big Room Planning (BRP). Responsible for the application of agile & scrum values, ensuring full participation and a continuous improvement mindset within the squad. Impediment Resolution: Actively identify and remove squad blockers and impediments to ensure planned sprints are delivered as expected. Release & Quality Accountability: Decide whether the work the squads have delivered is ready for release, holding accountability for the quality of the released work. Team Empowerment: Mentor and coach the team to be empowered, instilling a proactive, positive, and innovative team culture. Capacity Planning: Monitor the ongoing health and capacity of the squad, ensuring resources are planned effectively and the team is set up to deliver end-to-end outcomes. Adaptive Planning : Drive collaborative roadmapping sessions that focus on outcomes.

Scope & Value Management: Facilitate continuous backlog refinement, coaching stakeholders on value trade-offs. Ensure scope evolution is handled through re-prioritisation, ensuring the team always works on the highest-value items within their capacity. Time Management & Scheduling: Monitor delivery health using Agile metrics instead of static schedules.

Stakeholder Management & Communication Technical Translation: Act as the "technical translator," converting complex architectural constraints and ML performance metrics into understandable business impacts for non-technical stakeholders. Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product Managers, Data Scientists, and downstream business consumers to ensure technical solutions are feasible, viable, and directly solve business problems. Strategic Product Alignment: Partner deeply with Product Managers to ensure the backlog reflects the highest-value priorities. Facilitate the bridge between technical feasibility and business strategy, ensuring the team is always focused on delivering the most impactful outcomes for the organisation. Cross Functional Orchestration: Act as a high-level dependency orchestrator, navigating complex cross-squad and cross-departmental links. Proactively resolve bottlenecks by facilitating "Sync of Syncs" and cross-functional forums, ensuring a smooth flow of value across the entire organisational value stream. Leadership: Act as a core member of the Data & AI leadership team to ensure delivery agility is integrated into high-level strategy.
