Āu Mahi | What You Will Do
Building world-class digital capability is crucial to the University of Canterbury's ongoing success.

Digital Services is a large team, striving to provide a modern dynamic foundation from which the University (UC) can build new business models and ways of working.

Digital Services' own ways of working is key to that success, and we are looking for an Agile Lead to help drive this forward.


You will play a pivotal role in our agile transformation journey - supporting the implementation and maturation of our agile delivery framework and ways of working.

You will play a key leadership role, working across all teams in Digital Services to improve the way we work - coaching and guiding, building relationships, and supporting positive delivery.

You will work to connect the delivery and portfolio management frameworks, driving the continuous improvement of practices that support these frameworks in accelerating our delivery.


Mōu | Who You Are


You will have extensive experience (9 + years) working in an IT delivery-based role using agile frameworks in delivering business outcomes, or in an Agile Delivery Lead role.

In addition, you will have strong practical experience working with agile processes, events and practices required to support delivery and portfolio frameworks.

Being able to coach and mentor individuals and teams on agile ways of working is a must.

Your communication skills and stakeholder relationship building is essential in this role.

You will have a practical, flexible and results-orientated approach to problem solving and an ability to think critically, letting the best ideas win.


Mahi Ngātahi | Who You Will Work With

While this role sits within the Portfolio Management and Delivery team in Digital Services, you will work with all teams and people across Digital Services.

This ranges from in the detail working with teams, through to providing support and reporting to our Digital Leadership Team.

The role will also work with our delivery partners outside of the Digital team and may also work with vendors delivering into our teams as well.
