We are looking for a Senior Software Delivery Manager to lead delivery on Pure Gym’s most complex and high-impact software initiatives, owning the full initiative lifecycle from discovery through to close with Software Engineering. You’ll act as agile coach for one or more self‑organising delivery squads — building the practice, raising the standard, and progressively handing ownership to the team. You’ll set the delivery standard within the function, mentor Software Delivery Managers, and ensure cross‑team initiatives are properly scoped, well‑coordinated, and launched with clarity and pace.

This is a remote role, with quarterly meetings in our London Office.

You’ll be the person who keeps the most demanding work moving. That means ensuring initiatives are correctly scoped to the agreed delivery window before they reach teams, running tight discovery with the three‑lead group, and holding the In Development phase to that constraint to keep us focused and predictable. You’ll own stakeholder communications throughout, keep risks and dependencies visible, and make sure launches land well.

Alongside your initiative accountability, you’ll serve as agile coach for one or more delivery squads. That means more than running ceremonies — it means building teams that understand why the practices exist and can eventually lead themselves. You know when to hold the process tight, and you know when to step back. A team that has mastered the fundamentals deserves the space to evolve them;

Beyond your own squads and initiatives, you’ll be the senior practitioner in the delivery team — shaping how the function works, mentoring Software Delivery Managers, and driving continuous improvement in how we plan, run, and close work. You’ll work closely with the Head of Software Delivery on portfolio visibility and the ongoing evolution of our delivery practice.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Owning the full initiative lifecycle for complex, cross‑team, or high‑visibility initiatives — from intake and discovery through to hypercare and close
• Serving as delivery lead, facilitating the right events, reviews, and conversations at each stage to move work forward with pace and clarity
• Ensuring initiatives are correctly scoped to the agreed delivery window during discovery, and holding that constraint with rigour
• Posting weekly initiative updates covering progress, issues, and risks, and…
