About the role
We are looking for an experienced Agile Delivery Lead to drive high quality delivery across our analytics data and self-serve reporting teams. This role sits at the heart of our transformation, ensuring smooth delivery of initiatives such as automated reporting, GCP re architecture, data product enhancement, and operational change.
You will lead Agile delivery for a cross functional squad (engineers, analysts, data modelers, QA, and offshore colleagues), ensuring the team is focused, aligned, and able to deliver outcomes efficiently. You will remove impediments, manage dependencies across BT and vendor teams, and support a culture of continuous improvement and accountability.
This role is central to helping us standardise processes, improve velocity, and ensure high quality delivery across our data estate.
What you’ll be doing
Delivery Leadership
- Own day to day delivery of data analytics workstreams across onshore and offshore teams.
- Manage sprint ceremonies (planning, stand ups, refinement, retrospectives) and maintain a healthy backlog in partnership with Product Owners.
- Create and maintain delivery plans, sprint forecasts, risk logs, and dependency maps across multiple squads and parallel initiatives.
- Track delivery progress against KPIs, milestones, and outcomes, escalating blockers early.
Team Enablement & Flow
- Ensure the team is operating effectively and efficiently, optimising flow of work and removing bottlenecks.
- Champion Agile ways of working while adapting pragmatically to the realities of a complex data landscape.
- Monitor capacity across onshore and offshore resources and ensure tasks are aligned to the right skills at the right time.
- Maintain a stable heartbeat of delivery even when dealing with technical debt, re architecture activities, or urgent production issues.
Stakeholder & Cross Team Collaboration
- Act as the delivery interface between the analytics data and visualisation team and business stakeholders.
- Work closely with data domains, architecture and dependent CFUs to manage cross team dependencies.
- Communicate delivery status, risks, and trade offs clearly and concisely to senior stakeholders.
Support Strategic Programmes & Change
- Coordinate delivery of major initiatives, including:
- Reporting automation programme
- Self serve reporting improvements (Qlik SaaS, Looker, Power BI)
- Data platform re architecture on GCP
- Migration of legacy pipelines to strategic sources
- Ensure operational readiness, documentation, and handover into KTLO (keep the lights on) support.
Governance, Quality & Standards
- Uphold data engineering standards, definition of done criteria, and quality gates across the lifecycle.
- Ensure documentation is captured for new data products, pipelines, dashboards, and design decisions.
- Drive continuous improvement through retrospectives, delivery analytics, and feedback loops.
Essential Skills / Experience
- Strong experience as a Scrum Master, Delivery Lead, or Agile Project Manager within data-focused teams.
- Knowledge and working experience of Jira and Confluence and the ability to create bespoke structures of reporting
- Comfortable discussing data lineage, SLAs, dependencies, technical design decisions, and quality controls
- Expertise in Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) adapted for data engineering and analytics environments
- Strong negotiation skills, particularly in managing offshore vendors, resource requests, and delivery expectations.
