About the role

As a delivery lead at dxw, your leadership, organisation skills and problem-solving will help our teams to deliver great work. You’ll work closely with clients and dxw colleagues to build a single multidisciplinary, agile team. You will be leading client-facing projects and will be responsible for keeping the team motivated and focused on the product vision and user needs throughout. 

You’ll help the team to self-reflect and to improve over time, for example by facilitating regular retrospectives. You’ll empower the team to self-organise and deliver at a sustainable pace. And you will be able to help our clients embed agile principles and practices in the organisations they work in.

Delivery leads at dxw are also involved in contributing to sales bids and proposals, and maintaining relationships with existing clients.

This is a billable role, and you will spend most of your week working on client facing projects. Projects will vary in size and style, but often will follow the phases described in the GOV.UK service manual. You’ll typically work on 1-2 projects at a time. 

Outside of project work there will be opportunities to contribute to other areas of dxw and internal projects. This might include contributing to client proposals, helping to reduce our carbon emissions or supporting our diversity and inclusion work.
