Graduate Delivery Manager in Watford

Salary: Up to £28,500 depending on experience

Location: Hertford

This role provides an exciting opportunity to learn all about agile delivery and join our team of talented individuals. Supported by our Delivery Director and Delivery Managers you'll play a key role in the day to day delivery of projects for both new and existing projects, working alongside clients from a broad range of industries and sectors.

The responsibilities of this important role include:

• Using our agile delivery processes to manage and deliver project work on a day to day basis
• Working closely with our Resource Manager and the wider Delivery team to appropriately and efficiently resource projects
• Providing excellent customer service and establishing constructive relationships with our clients
• Contributing to the continuous improvement of our agile delivery processes

We are looking for a self‐motivated, organised, process‐oriented graduate to join our established Delivery Team and expand our capacity to deliver successful digital projects for high profile clients.

As a Delivery Manager at Zoocha, you will be responsible for the resourcing and successful delivery of our projects – on time, within budget and in line with our quality standards.

Some key areas include:

• Understanding agile principles and why they are the backbone of software delivery
• Learning specifically about Scrum and its practical application at Zoocha
• Becoming fluent in the language of agile delivery and concepts such as Definition of Sprint Ready and Definition of Done

Training in this area will be provided through a combination of 1‐2‐1 sessions, shadowing other team members and independent learning, alongside hands‐on opportunities with smaller scale projects or suitable tasks.

In order to deliver against client expectations, you will be required to efficiently resource tasks and projects, taking into consideration skill‐set and task interdependencies. You will need to understand the wider business priorities beyond your own client roadmaps and be able to work closely with your fellow Delivery Managers.

As a Delivery Manager you are often the bridge between the client and the delivery team, therefore it is important that you are able to build strong relationships with the clients that you work with. Specifically this would include:

• Entering all engagements with a positive and collaborative mindset
• Capturing and circulating meaningful and complete actions and next steps
• Understanding your client's goals and focus areas
• Clearly communicating risks and opportunities

This is a hybrid working role, with the flexibility to work remotely some of the time, but with an expectation that you'll be based at our Hertford office at least two days per week. Some travel to clients is also expected.

Mandatory requirements:

• Based in the UK, ideally within regular commuting distance of our Hertford office.
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken, is essential.
• You must have a valid visa or work permit.

What we're looking for from you:

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Strong analytical and problem‐solving skills.
• A keen understanding of what great customer service looks like.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities with confidence to communicate at senior manager and director level within large organisations.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment as well as independently.
• Ability to elicit and analyse information from a variety of sources, presenting it to the relevant audience in an appropriate and understandable form.
• A keen interest in technology and its application in solving business problems.

Why work at Zoocha:

• Flexible working plus the ability to work from any of our offices (UK, Spain, Brazil) for periods of time
• Outstanding benefits including profit share, private healthcare, gym and wellness fund
• Unlimited training budget
• An inclusive workplace with active advocacy networks for women, LGBTQI employees and people from ethnic minorities
• Regular team socials and all‐inclusive monthly social events

We truly appreciate your interest in joining our team and thank you for taking the time to apply.
