Where in the world of Kaluza will I be working? 

You’ll be joining the Agile Delivery Management function as a Lead Agile Delivery Manager with line management responsibilities, reporting to the Head of Agile.  We are a small, collaborative team working in an organisation that is growing with around 40 teams at present.  Agile Delivery Managers partner very closely with the Agile Coaches in the company, forming a strong community interest who look to improve ways of working across the company.  We collectively look to improve the operating system of Kaluza.

As  Lead Agile Delivery Manager at Kaluza, you will be part of our Platform Foundation Sphere.  Platform Foundations focus on providing  a reliable set of services, engineering practices, governance and developer tooling that allow the platform to scale. You will be responsible for line management of a number of Agile Delivery Managers, helping them develop in their careers and for the delivery of strategic objectives working closely with our empowered product teams

The types of problems we are looking for you to solve and lead on could be: 

• How to coordinate change across a large number of teams (30+)
• How to manage and reduce friction from dependencies
• How to visualise progress and risks
• How to ensure there is a good ratio of effort:value from planning across Platform Foundations.
• How to navigate complexity & uncertainty
• How to improve the ways of working across the Platform Foundation Sphere as an entity and the underlying teams that form it.
• Taking services and initiatives from inception to launch on the simplest, most repeatable path
