About us
The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is the department for economic growth. The Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) directorate develops and operates tools and services to support businesses to invest, grow and export, creating jobs and opportunities across the country.
As a Senior Agile Delivery Manager (DM) in DBT, you will be delivering products, services and workstreams of varying sizes, maturity, and at different stages of the lifecycle (from discoveries through to live).
Delivery Managers in DBT work within a community of practice, supporting each other to improve agile practices and deliver in line with priorities of trade, investment, and export promotion and supporting the UK’s agenda for a Global Britain.
We work in multidisciplinary teams to deliver transformation which supports export and investment strategies. We use digital tools to allow UK businesses to take full advantage of trade opportunities, including those arising from delivering trade agreements, helping to facilitate UK exports as well as working on digital projects to support inward UK investment from abroad.
Main responsibilities
You will be:
- Helping to build the right environment for the team to deliver, collaborate, communicate, and focus on the most important outcomes
- Improving processes and removing obstacles within the team and outside of it, iterating the existing approaches and facilitating new ways of doing things
- Ensuring the team has the right set of skills and providing direction on how that should change as the product is developed
- Managing dependencies and risks across DBT and with other government departments to remove blockers or obstacles to delivery
- Using your understanding of agile practices to be able to adapt them to suit the team you are working with and guide continual improvement
- Line managing, mentoring and coaching other members of the professional community, your team, and possibly colleagues outside of DDaT
