Agile Project Lead (HeathCare project)
ROLE OVERVIEW
We are looking for an experienced Agile Project Lead/Project manager who treats delivery as a personal commitment — not just a process. You will be the connective tissue between our product vision and the engineering team that builds it, removing friction, driving clarity, and holding the bar for quality outcomes. This role goes beyond ceremony facilitation. We need someone who owns the delivery pipeline end-to-end; who challenges scope creep with data, and who earns the trust of developers and stakeholders alike through consistent, transparent execution.
IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL
Delivery Leadership:
Own the end-to end sprint and release cycle: planning, execution, review, and retrospective.
Identify and eliminate impediments proactively - escalate with context, not just problems.
Track and act on Kanban/Scrum metrics (velocity, cycle time, throughput) to optimise flow.
Manage dependencies across squads and external teams without letting them become blockers.
AI-Driven Delivery:
Actively use AI tools in day-to-day delivery work — status reporting, sprint summaries, risk flagging, and documentation generation.
Identify repetitive delivery tasks (standup notes, backlog grooming prep, stakeholder updates) and automate or augment them with AI agents.
Evaluate and introduce AI-powered tooling into the team's workflow — from LLM-assisted ticket writing to automated sprint analytics.
Share learnings across the team and help build a culture where AI is a natural part of how work gets done, not an afterthought.
Scope & Change Management
Challenge and control scope creep by facilitating transparent trade-off conversations.
Manage mid-sprint changes with rigour: assess impact, communicate clearly, adapt plans accordingly.
Translate stakeholder requests into clear acceptance criteria and delivery commitments.
People & Team Culture:
Foster a psychologically safe, high-trust environment where the team can do their best work.
Provide regular, honest feedback and coaching — both praise and constructive challenge.
Support team members who are new to Agile through education, pairing, and modelling good practice.
Collaborate with the Engineering Manager to gather and act on team feedback and people-related insight
Process & Continuous Improvement
Adapt methodology (Scrum, Kanban, hybrid) to the needs of each project and team.
Lead retrospectives that produce actionable improvements — not just lists of feelings.
Document decisions, risks, and changes in a way that keeps the whole team informed.
IF YOU HAVE
3+ years as a Scrum Master, Agile Project Lead, or delivery-focused Project Manager in a software product company.
Experience managing deliveries in scalable environment (within up to 20 people teams)
Hands-on experience running all Scrum ceremonies — not just attending them.
Demonstrated ability to remove real impediments and drive delivery, not just facilitate meetings.
Proficiency with backlog management and agile tooling (Jira, Confluence, or similar).
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
Experience with Kanban metrics: cycle time, throughput, WIP limits, lead time.
NICE TO HAVE
Experience transitioning teams from Waterfall to Agile.
Basic technical literacy — comfortable discussing APIs, branching strategy, or CI/CD pipelines with engineers.
Background in SaaS or healthtech product delivery.
CSM, PSM, or equivalent Agile certification.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
Long-term engagement in a stable, growing SaaS company
Remote-first and async-friendly with flat organizational structure
High bar for engineering and product quality
A team that values depth over hype: production quality over flashy prototypes
A culture that values personal growth as much as business outcomes
