Pay, benefits and practical details

The job is described as a full‑time position based on site in GB. It is an onsite role with the company, but the description does not publish salary figures, benefits details, travel expectations, or licensing requirements.

How to present yourself for this PM role

First, place the strongest evidence of your agile project leadership at the top of your resume. Lead with a concrete summary of your experience running programs, the teams you’ve guided, and a couple of results that show you delivered on time and within budget. If you have a PMP or an Agile certificate such as a Certified Scrum Master, mention it up front as a plus.

Next, demonstrate how you prove the must‑have skills. Tie each bullet in your experience to the six core capabilities: program management discipline, agile practice, leadership and communication, strategic prioritization under pressure, delivery on time and budget, and proficiency with planning and reporting tools. Use concrete examples and, where possible, metrics that show improved delivery performance or risk mitigation.

For interviews, be ready to walk through how you implement agile frameworks in real projects. Describe how you balance scope, schedule, and resources, how you manage risks and dependencies, and how you drive governance and stakeholder engagement. Have a short 90‑day ramp plan ready that outlines how you’d establish alignment with the business and set up the delivery rhythm.

Finally, consider asking a targeted question to show you’re thinking about the role in the context of the team. A smart inquiry would be: what is the current mix of agile practices (for example scrum versus kanban) and how mature is the team in terms of agile guidance and governance? You could follow with a question about who the primary stakeholders are and how success is measured for this program.
