Job Description
As an Agile Project Manager, you will work with Principal and Senior Agile Project Managers to help deliver projects successfully. You will become responsible for all scrum related meetings, such as sprint planning, backlog refinement, and for more traditional project management activities. Once comfortable, you will quickly become the key, client-facing member of a project delivery team who ensures that projects are delivered successfully from end-to-end on both small and large engagements.
No day is the same and no project is the same - so the ability to adapt is key. The ideal candidate must also be willing to travel.

Our UK offices are in Farnham and London, and the Bulgaria office is in Sofia. The role can be based at either UK location. You'll be working, collaborating and socialising with your colleagues across all three offices.
