The goal is to simplify user journeys, streamline data flows and enable faster delivery of new digital products that directly support independence, accessibility and wellbeing. Right now, we are seeking an Agile Project Manager to lead the delivery of this critical website transformation from start to finish, with a strong focus on managing the performance and collaboration of an external supplier team.Your new roleAs Agile Project Manager, you will take the lead on a strategic digital transformation programme, overseeing the full lifecycle of a website replatforming initiative.

Reporting to the Programme Lead and matrixed to the Head of Digital Marketing, you will be responsible for driving Agile governance, facilitating sprint discipline, and maintaining control over scope and deliverables. You will chair Project Steering Group meetings, provide clear and consistent reporting on progress and risks, and ensure that all stakeholders, from technical teams to board-level sponsors, are aligned and informed. Your leadership will be instrumental in helping the Solution Development Team and Product Owner overcome impediments, embed continuous improvement and maintain transparency throughout the delivery process.

Your knowledge of the software delivery lifecycle, Agile frameworks and anti-patterns will enable you to anticipate challenges and guide teams toward successful outcomes. Familiarity with tools like Jira, Microsoft Project, and Office applications will support your ability to track metrics, manage resources, and communicate effectively. Experience with web architecture projects, React.js, or Contentstack is desirable but not essential.

You must also be comfortable working in locations where dogs may be present.What you need to do nowIf you're an Agile evangelist with a passion for meaningful work and a track record of delivering complex digital programmes, we'd love to hear from you.
