Reward Gateway | Edenred is a global market leader in benefits and employee engagement. We help our clients and their leaders transform employee experience that will attract, engage and retain top talent through employee benefits, strategic rewards and recognition, well-being, and much more.

As Reward Gateway | Edenred continues to scale globally, we are expanding our Delivery function to support a growing portfolio of cloud‑based, high‑availability SaaS products. With a significant number of engineering squads operating across regions, we are looking for a high‑impact Senior Agile Delivery Manager who thrives in complex engineering environments and can bring clarity, structure, and predictability to multi‑team delivery.

This is a high‑ownership, hands‑on individual contributor role. You will directly own delivery for 3 - 4 engineering squads, working closely with Product, Engineering, Architecture, and fellow Agile Delivery Managers to ensure seamless delivery across features, platform initiatives, technical debt, and incidents.

Flexible, hybrid working:

Our office is for you to use as much as you like; as a minimum our Delivery team works from our London office at least twice a week.

Some of Your Responsibilities & Core Duties will include:

Delivery Ownership (Across 3–4 Engineering Squads)

Own end-to-end delivery for 3–4 engineering squads, ensuring clear priorities, strong execution rigor, and predictable delivery outcomes.
Maintain a deep understanding of each squad’s roadmap, capacity, constraints, and performance.
Lead delivery across product features, technical debt, platform improvements, and operational work (incidents, resilience, support).
Ensure readiness for delivery through well‑structured backlogs, aligned objectives, and clear acceptance criteria.

Cross‑Team Delivery & Dependency Management

Work closely with other Agile Delivery Managers to manage dependencies across 30+ global engineering squads.
Coordinate sequencing, risk management, and alignment for transversal initiatives spanning multiple teams.
Facilitate cross‑squad forums (Scrum of Scrums, dependency reviews, release readiness syncs).
Maintain clear documentation of dependencies, risks, and mitigation plans (RAID logs, delivery boards).

Agile Ways of Working (Multi‑Team Environment)

Facilitate agile ceremonies for assigned squads (stand‑ups, sprint planning, refinements, reviews, retros).
Champion lean, scalable delivery practices that work across multiple teams and regions.
Promote continuous improvement and delivery rigor across squads.
Support teams in iterative planning, effective estimation, and realistic forecasting.

Technical Delivery & Engineering Alignment

Understand architectural patterns used across squads (APIs, microservices, cloud services, CI/CD pipelines).
Partner with Engineering Leads and Architects to identify and manage technical risks, platform dependencies, and environment constraints.
Feed technical incidents, post‑mortems, and reliability improvements into delivery plans and backlogs.
Ensure technical debt and resilience initiatives receive appropriate prioritisation and visibility.

Communication & Stakeholder Management

Provide clear and concise updates on progress, risks, delivery confidence, and scope changes to senior stakeholders.
Act as the primary delivery partner for Product Managers and Engineering Leads.
Translate complex technical issues into business‑relevant insights.
Maintain strong relationships across Engineering, Product, Security, Data Protection and Architecture.

Process, Tooling & Continuous Improvement

Shape delivery practices to support consistency and predictability across global teams.
Use delivery metrics (lead time, cycle time, throughput, deployment frequency, incident trends) to drive improvement.
Support squads in adopting effective tooling (Jira, Confluence, Miro, dashboards).
Champion a culture of learning, experimentation, and operational excellence.

The Experience and Key Skills you will have:

Proven experience as an Agile Delivery Manager, Delivery Lead, or Senior Scrum Master in a tech‑first or SaaS organization.
Experience managing delivery for multiple squads simultaneously (typically 3–5 teams).
Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and modern engineering practices.
Hands‑on experience coordinating delivery in cloud-native environments (AWS, Azure, GCP).
Familiarity with microservices, APIs, CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and modern cloud architectures.
Experience supporting incident response and post‑incident delivery.
Demonstrated ability to identify and manage cross‑team dependencies in scaled engineering organizations.
Strong experience with Jira & Confluence and/or other delivery reporting tools.
