Job title: Squad/Delivery Lead (9+ Years)
Project description
We are looking for a proactive Squad/Delivery Lead (9+ Years) to take end-to-end ownership of delivery through to Production for in-scope items on the programme. This is a hybrid role, blending the facilitation and team-health focus of a Scrum Master with the accountability and drive of a Delivery Lead.

- 2 iOS Developers
- 2 Android Developers
- 3 Backend Developers
- 3 Testers
- 1 Solution Architect
- 1 Business Analyst
- 1 UI Designer
