What will you be doing?

This role sits within the Define pipeline, where work is shaped before it reaches engineering. In this newly created role as a Delivery Lead, you will be responsible for turning prioritised business initiatives into a consistent flow of build-ready work, partnering closely with Business Analysts and Product Designers to move ideas from early input through to clear, actionable specifications.

Working as the lead for this function, you will help establish and refine ways of working across the business. This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys roadmap planning, program-style delivery, backlog health, and stakeholder communication, and who is motivated by improving how work flows through a system.

While this role is not accountable for engineering delivery itself, it plays a critical role in defining what is being worked on and when it is ready to flow into delivery teams.

What Success Looks Like

• Consistent flow of high-quality, build-ready work into engineering

• Clear visibility of pipeline status, timelines, risks, and dependencies

• Reduced ambiguity and improved delivery predictability

• Strong stakeholder trust and alignment

• A healthy buffer of shaped work to support engineering continuity

Key Challenges

• Building a new function from the ground up

• Managing stakeholder expectations during early-stage maturity

• Balancing structure, governance, and speed

• Operating effectively in a dual structure (not owning engineering delivery directly)

What Your Day-to-Day Will Look Like

• Lead the flow of work through the Define pipeline, guiding initiatives from intake through to Definition of Ready.

• Work with Business Analysts and Product Designers as a combined working group to shape requirements and supporting artefacts.

• Manage and prioritise backlog flow to ensure engineering teams have a consistent pipeline of well-defined work

• Coordinate planning and scheduling across incoming initiatives based on capacity and business priorities

• Act as the key communication point for status updates, risks, and delays relating to defined work

• Provide clear reporting and progress updates to senior stakeholders and the steering group responsible for prioritised initiatives.

• Support agile ways of working within the team, using practices aligned to Scrum, Kanban, or a similar framework.s

• Establish structure, cadence, and repeatable processes for the function as it matures

• Produce and maintain high-quality planning artefacts, including roadmaps, backlog views, and status documentation.

• Escalate pipeline risks where there is insufficient shaped work to support downstream engineering demand.

What You’ll Need to Bring to the Role

• Demonstrated experience in business analysis, delivery leadership, program coordination, or backlog management within a technology environment

• Tertiary qualification in Business Analysis, Project Management, Information Technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience

• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate clearly with senior business stakeholders

• Strong facilitation skills, with experience running workshops and stakeholder discussions to elicit and validate requirements

• A solid understanding of agile principles and experience working within software delivery environments

• Experience with structured requirements practices, including MoSCoW prioritisation, user story writing, and Definition of Ready / Definition of Done frameworks

• Ability to manage work through structured workflows and bring clarity to evolving or loosely defined inputs

• Proficiency in planning tools such as roadmaps, Gantt charts, and backlog management systems

• Demonstrated leadership experience leading and developing small, cross-functional teams

• Experience creating and presenting clear planning artefacts, delivery plans, and status updates to stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Exposure to frameworks or certifications such as SAFe, Scrum Master, or Kanban

• Experience working on SaaS or digital product environments
