Full job description
Want to lead and deliver change that matters?
Are you looking to turn big ideas into big results? Do you want to be a part of a supportive Agile community to help you grow in your career?
If so, Opencast could be the place for you. We’re a growing tech consultancy that creates user-centred solutions with purpose for our clients in government, healthcare and purpose-driven businesses. As an Agile Delivery Manager, you’ll tackle challenges and guide teams, adding structure, assurance and energy to complex projects that make a difference to millions of people in the UK.
The role
You’ll collaborate with the product manager and team to lead the delivery of services and products that deliver our clients’ strategic outcomes. You'll facilitate people’s work in roles spanning design, development, and research, playing a key leadership role in multidisciplinary agile teams.
You’ll lead the team in agreeing delivery milestones to deliver on behalf of our clients. You’ll create a safe working environment so our agile teams deliver with autonomy in often complex client stakeholder groups and governance structures.
You'll ensure that work is carried out in accordance with Opencast's quality, environmental, and information security policies and procedures, as well as applicable customer policies, standards, and procedures while working on client.
Requirements
This role involves weekly on-site working. Applicants should be able to travel, as part of their daily commute, to client sites in one of the following locations: Newcastle, Leeds, or Manchester.
We’re looking for people who value in-person collaboration, enjoy building strong relationships, and are passionate about delivering solutions that make a real difference for our clients.
Due to the nature of this role, you must either hold active Security Check (SC) clearance or be eligible and willing to undergo the clearance process.
SC clearance is granted in line with UK Government security vetting requirements. Typically, applicants must have UK citizenship and have lived continuously in the UK for at least the past five years, with no single absence exceeding 28 consecutive days. Nationality and immigration status may also be considered as part of the vetting process.
We are unable to progress applications from candidates who do not meet these requirements.
If you are unsure whether you meet the eligibility criteria, we encourage you to review the guidance or discuss this with us before applying.
We are recruiting for multiple positions, with opportunities available immediately and in the coming months. If you are interested in joining Opencast, we encourage you to apply.
Essential experience
You're comfortable working on complex or multiple projects. You define and deliver the work without much direction.
In your CV and the interview, please show how you have:
- Recent government (public sector) experience and/or experience of delivering complex digital services that meet Government Digital Service (GDS) standards.
- Distributed work and set milestones for others to achieve
- Simplified complex problems into smaller, manageable deliverables for your team
- Created a team charter, agreed ways of working and collaboratively iterated throughout the project
- Organised your team and its ceremonies, encouraged team engagement and self-organisation
- Connected team and stakeholder perspectives when making decisions
- Influenced your team to achieve greater outcomes and remain focused on the project’s vision
- Selected communication tools appropriate for stakeholder and team dynamics
- Created and facilitated workshops
- Fostered transparency and alignment through building trust
There are other essential skills you’ll need to be a great senior consultant. At interview, please show how you:
- Are proactive, and can work autonomously
- Challenge appropriately and resolve conflict
- Help others to successfully work through challenges
- Support and develop teams, and build impactful relationships
- Contribute to communities and client teams beyond project work
With a significant proportion of our client base in the public sector, we are particularly interested in candidates with experience working in central or local government and/or the NHS.
Experience working to the GOV.UK Service Standards, including passing service standard assessments at different stages, is a key requirement. If you have this experience, please demonstrate this on your CV to discuss at interview.
Essential consulting skills
In addition to business analysis skills, there are essential core skills you’ll need to be an Opencast consultant. You’ll need to demonstrate how you:
- Contribute to improving ways of working and driving continuous improvements within your teams.
- Share knowledge and best practice with fellow delivery managers and other disciplines, including proactively engaging in client and Opencast communities of practice.
- Positively challenge decisions or solutions you don’t agree with, striving for the best client outcomes.
- Create lasting value in the projects you work on, ensuring a user-centric, sustainable approach.
- Engage with Opencast in a meaningful way, supporting the growth of your practice and wider capability.
- Support Opencast's growth plans, by providing case studies and updates into the relevant forums of your project work.
Salary
£60,000 - £70,000 per annum.
What we offer
A competitive package including a 7% employer pension contribution, share options, and a discretionary bonus. You’ll also benefit from 25 days’ holiday and access to 3 annual “life happens” days to support unexpected situations. We provide wellbeing support, ongoing professional development, volunteering opportunities, and the chance to be part of a genuinely supportive team.
Where you’ll work
This role requires regular on-site attendance at our HQ, hub offices, and client sites, as well as the ability to work from home. Applicants must be able to travel to offices and client sites across the UK as part of their normal working arrangements, as travel is essential for fulfilling the responsibilities of the role.
