• Metrics & Continuous Improvement: Track and analyse delivery and DevOps metrics (velocity, cycle time, deployment frequency, change failure rate) to drive performance improvements
• Coaching & Mentorship: Promote agile maturity, self-organisation, and a culture of accountability within the team

• 5+ years' experience as an Agile Delivery Lead, Scrum Master, Agile Coach, or Technical Project Manager
• Strong understanding of AWS services (e.g. EC2, S3, IAM, EKS, RDS)
• Hands-on knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or CloudFormation) and CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
