About the Role The Agile Delivery Manager at Neon One leads and manages a team of talented Scrum Masters, driving the adoption and maturity of Agile practices to ensure predictable, high‑quality delivery.

The Agile Delivery Manager works collaboratively with other functional managers and stakeholders to align agile delivery practices with business objectives and supports the team in resolving complex impediments, promoting a culture of continuous improvement, and fostering professional growth.

Agile Transformation and Improvement: Conduct assessments of team and departmental Agile maturity, creating a roadmap for improvement and executing on that roadmap. Identify, escalate, and help resolve systemic impediments that are beyond a single team's ability to influence. Partner with leadership to shape and promote an environment that enables Agile teams to thrive.
