We are looking for a Technical Agile Delivery Manager to join our Platform and Technology teams. Your mission is to make Platform and Tech teams the best in Fintech. 

Your work will be framed by three questions:

2. Delivery: What can be done to identify and remove all impediments faced by the teams in delivering value for our customers? What metrics will support the team to make incremental improvements to their ways of working? Do stakeholders have visibility over the delivery information they need?  

3. Agile & lean practices: How can we ensure a culture of continuous learning when it comes to agile and lean practices, so the team becomes more engaged, more effective and more efficient
