Contract Agile Delivery Manager - Data & Supply Chain

Location: Mostly remote (UK based)
Contract length: 3 months initially
Start: Immediate

The role

Join a household-name global brand with a reputation for out-innovating the competition, and help power the data behind it. They're looking for a contract Agile Delivery Manager to join their central data team, supporting the supply chain function. The team is building out its data foundation on Snowflake and moving the business off spreadsheets.

The vision and a six-month roadmap are already in place, so this is an execution-focused role. You'll understand the product well enough to tell its story to the business and the engineering team, and you'll own the delivery rhythm that gets it built. Expect to wear the delivery hat and the product hat in the same day.

What you'll be doing

• Running agile delivery against the supply chain roadmap, keeping work on track and unblocking the team early
• Writing clear tickets with the what and why behind each request, and keeping the Jira backlog in good shape
• Working daily with an offshore engineering team, tracking progress and holding people to account on their actions
• Managing internal stakeholders across supply chain and wider business teams, including colleagues in other time zones
• Making priority trade-offs with stakeholders who all think their request is priority one
• Telling the story of the product vision to the business and the engineering team

What we're looking for

• Retail or ecommerce experience, which is essential
• Agile delivery experience, with a track record of working alongside product teams
• Experience working with lots of different types of internal stakeholders across multiple business teams
• Experience working with offshore or global teams across time zones
• Working knowledge of a modern data stack (Snowflake, dbt and the layers in between), with fluency more important than hands-on engineering
• Strong Jira skills and a clear, direct communicator
• Comfortable in an environment where product management isn't run by the textbook
• Available immediately

This role requires an ASAP start and is an initial 3 month contract.
