About the opportunity
A fast-growing international business is building a shared technology function, and it needs a Product Platform Delivery Lead to own the end-to-end customer journey on a major regulated national programme.
The platform is made up of several product components, each with its own product manager. They have to flow into one another and back again, across three or four agile squads and a set of fixed legislative go-live dates. Nobody yet owns the whole journey. You would. The scope starts in the UK and could widen as the business takes on more programmes in Europe.
Responsibilities
- Own the customer journey across three or four agile squads and the components they build
- Break strategy and the customer's statement of work into user stories, core and customer-specific
- Identify and manage dependencies between squads, using SAFe, LeSS or a similar approach
- Agree priorities with other platform managers where roadmaps meet on a shared component
- Lay milestone discipline over agile delivery, and agree MVP and scope with the customer when a date is at risk
- Help set platform strategy: consolidating legacy platforms, and deciding what is configurable core and what is local
- Be the customer's point of contact on requirements and what is coming next
Essential skills
- Has coordinated three or four agile product squads on a single delivery
- Has managed dependencies between squads to keep an end-to-end flow
- Has laid structured project milestones (Prince2-style) over agile delivery to fixed dates
- Has worked directly with customers on requirements, scope and statements of work
- Has defined end-to-end user journeys and turned requirements into user stories
- Formal SAFe, LeSS or similar scaled agile experience
- Delivery in a regulated environment
- Experience of consolidating legacy or acquired platforms
