We’re looking for an experienced Agile Delivery Lead to help embed agile ways of working across our Technology team and wider business. This is a hands-on leadership role suited to someone who thrives in environments where you can bring structure to ambiguity while fostering high performance.

Job Description

• Facilitate Program Increment (PI) planning, guide delivery squads, and help teams adopt SAFe and agile mindsets.
• Coordinate cross-functional delivery, address impediments, track, understand and optimise dependencies and align teams to strategic priorities.
• Shape the agile journey from the ground up: you won’t just inherit an agile structure – you’ll build it. You get to lay the foundations for agile practices and make a real, lasting impact on the business. 
• Collaborate at all levels: From the delivery squads to the C-suite, you are working across the business as a trusted adviser. Your input shapes decisions, priorities and ways of working.
• Address real challenges, not just facilitate process: This role isn’t just about ceremonies — it’s about aligning on priorities, removing blockers, fostering momentum, and enabling high-performing teams to deliver outcomes that matter. You’ll thrive if you love turning complexity into clarity.
• Flexibility and Balance: We understand life is about more than work. Enjoy a culture that empowers you to succeed professionally while maintaining a work-life balance that fits your needs.
• Kiwi-Owned Agility: As New Zealand’s third-largest, majority Kiwi-owned broker, we pride ourselves on being nimble and innovative, with an engaged executive team that makes decisions quickly and effectively.

Desired Skills and Experience

What you’ll bring:
• A curious, proactive mindset and love for enabling others – you will embody a servant leader and coaching approach.
• Extensive experience delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives. You’re likely already working as an Agile Delivery Lead or Release Train Engineer. If not, you’re a highly experienced Scrum Master looking to take the next step in your career.
• A collaborative style and ability to influence without authority
• Solid understanding of agile and scaled delivery environments (SAFe preferred)
• Experience with tools like Jira and Azure DevOps
• Recent Agile certifications (e.g., SAFe RTE)
• Comfortable working with both C-suite and delivery teams

The real question is: Why Rothbury? Our culture sets us apart. We are collaborative, supportive, and genuinely invested in your success. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to shape your career, make a meaningful impact, and enjoy the journey along the way.
