About Us:

Psychiatry UK is the UK’s leading provider of digital psychiatry services, working both privately and with the NHS to support children, teenagers and adults with expert, patient-centred care.

A career with Psychiatry UK allows you to expand your knowledge, enhance your skills, and gain valuable life experience—all while enjoying the flexibility of a remote full-time role. As part of a leading online mental health service, you'll collaborate with innovative, forward-thinking professionals in a dynamic, multidisciplinary team committed to making a real difference.

This Senior Agile Delivery Manager role is critical to enabling effective, value-driven delivery as Psychiatry UK continues to scale its digital and agile capabilities in support of high-quality patient care. The successful candidate will take clear ownership of complex delivery outcomes, ensuring strategic priorities are aligned, cross-team dependencies are managed, and measurable value is consistently realised across services and platforms. They will go beyond agile theory to embed pragmatic, outcome-focused practices that enhance predictability, transparency, and flow across multiple squads and workstreams.

Working closely with other senior delivery leaders and the Head of Technology Delivery, this role will play a key part in shaping and evolving the organisation’s delivery model. It requires an experienced leader who can operate confidently at a senior level—challenging assumptions, influencing decision-making, and driving alignment across technology and business functions. The role also demands the ability to coach and mentor others, foster high-performing teams, and create an environment of continuous improvement, collaboration, and accountability within a complex healthcare setting.

This is a home-based role (applicants must reside in the UK), though occasional travel may be required for face-to-face meetings at various locations within the UK.

As our Senior Agile Delivery Manager, you will:

• Own end-to-end delivery of technology initiatives, ensuring alignment with business outcomes and strategic priorities.

• Drive predictable and high-quality delivery through robust planning, effective risk management, and proactive issue resolution.

• Leverage delivery metrics (e.g. velocity, throughput, cycle time, WIP, work item age) to provide clear and transparent insights into delivery health.

• Collaborate with delivery leadership to share best practices and address systemic challenges.

• Partner with senior stakeholders to evolve the operating model, governance, and overall delivery maturity.

• Influence cross-programme alignment to ensure consistency, clarity, and effective execution across initiatives.

• Champion pragmatic Agile practices, tailoring frameworks to suit team and organisational needs.

• Coach teams and Product Owners on prioritisation, backlog management, and value-driven delivery.

• Lead stakeholder engagement, translating complex delivery risks and progress into clear, actionable narratives.

• Foster a high-performing, inclusive culture that promotes psychological safety, continuous improvement, and capability development through coaching and hiring.

• Effectively plan and manage your own workload to meet objectives and deadlines.

• Prioritise tasks dynamically, responding to emerging issues and shifting business priorities.

To succeed as our Senior Agile Delivery Manager, you will have:

Essential Qualifications, Skills and Experience:

• Proven track record delivering complex technology programmes in agile environments

• Deep, pragmatic application of Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe)

• Outcome-focused with strong accountability and bias for action

• Data-driven approach using metrics to track performance and improve delivery

• Confident challenger who identifies blind spots and drives better decisions

• Balances governance and control with agility and pace

• Strong stakeholder management with ability to influence senior leaders

• Experienced in complex delivery ecosystems, including multi-squad and third parties

• Servant leader who builds trust, engagement, and team alignment

• Highly collaborative, promoting shared ownership across teams using tools like Jira and Confluence

Desirable Qualifications, Skills and Experience:

• Experience managing third-party suppliers and external delivery partners.

• Advanced expertise in delivery tooling and reporting platforms, including Jira, Confluence, and modern dashboards.

• Strong track record of constructively challenging assumptions and identifying blind spots to improve decision quality and outcomes.

• Experience working in scaled agile environments or large, complex organisations.

• Exposure to evolving governance models that support agile at scale.
