Delivery Lead – Driving Scalable SaaS Delivery

Location: Manchester or Leeds (Hybrid – 2–3 days onsite)
Salary: Up to £60,000 + excellent benefits
Type: Permanent, full-time

The Opportunity

We’re working with our client, a leading SaaS organisation that is investing heavily in technology, delivery, and people to support its next phase of growth. Their platforms underpin high-value business operations at scale, and they are in the midst of a strategic transformation to modernise how software is built, delivered, and evolved.

They are now seeking an experienced Delivery Lead to help drive this transformation — someone who can lead multiple agile teams, manage delivery across complex programmes, and embed a culture of collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement.

This is a visible, high-impact role where your influence will shape not only how delivery happens today but how the organisation builds software for years to come.

The Role

As a Delivery Lead, you’ll sit at the centre of delivery across several product and engineering teams. You’ll ensure teams have clarity, alignment, and the right conditions for success — balancing strategic priorities with day-to-day execution.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading delivery across multiple agile teams, ensuring clear priorities, strong alignment, and predictable outcomes.

• Championing agile and lean principles, fostering a focus on value, learning, and flow.

• Managing dependencies and risks across teams, ensuring obstacles are identified and resolved early.

• Facilitating collaboration between engineering, product, and business stakeholders.

• Tracking and communicating progress with meaningful delivery metrics.

• Coaching teams to continuously improve, increasing autonomy and accountability.

• Supporting senior delivery leadership in shaping the long-term delivery strategy and culture.

What You’ll Bring

• 3–5+ years in a dedicated Delivery Lead or Agile Delivery Manager role within a complex software or SaaS environment.

• Deep understanding of Agile, Lean, and Systems Thinking principles.

• Proven experience delivering large-scale software products with cross-functional teams.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including experience influencing Director-level stakeholders.

• Practical knowledge of frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, or SAFe, and the ability to tailor methods appropriately.

• Strong coaching and servant leadership approach — empowering teams to deliver with confidence and ownership.

Who You Are

• A clear, confident communicator who builds trust across technical and business teams.

• A strategic thinker who can balance tactical delivery with long-term objectives.

• Calm under pressure, structured in approach, and comfortable with ambiguity.

• A leader who focuses on outcomes, not process, and drives delivery without unnecessary ceremony.

• Someone who genuinely cares about people, progress, and performance in equal measure.
