About the Role

The Program / Delivery Manager owns the sprint cycle end to end for Depotnet - taking signed-off change requests and roadmap items and turning them into a sprint plan the development team can deliver against, on time and to the expected quality.

What you will do:

- Own the sprint cycle end to end, from planning through to release

- Take signed-off change requests (CRs) and roadmap items prioritised by our Product and Client teams and turn them into an actionable sprint plan

- Run sprint planning, allocating work across developers and contractors against known capacity

- Protect the sprint from mid-flight scope changes, working alongside the Tech Director and Heads of Tech to keep delivery on track

- Plan QA windows and UAT alongside the delivery schedule

- Own the release schedule and resource availability planning

We Are Looking For:

- Strong capacity planning skills - able to allocate work across developers and contractors against known constraints

- Comfortable saying no politely and protecting the team from mid-flight scope creep

- Enough technical literacy to challenge an estimate and hold your own in a conversation with developers

- Fluency with Azure DevOps

- A dynamic, energetic approach - genuinely up for a challenge, with the resilience to manage a huge range of competing priorities

- Confidence holding your own with senior stakeholders, balanced with the rapport-building of a natural team player

Here's what to expect and who you'll meet during the recruitment process:

- First interview with Talent Acquisition Manager Holly (0.5h)

- Second interview with Operations Director Michelle Morgan (45mins)
