Squad Lead / Delivery Lead

About the Position

We are seeking a proactive Squad Lead / Delivery Lead with 9+ years of experience to manage end-to-end delivery for a cross-functional squad in Bengaluru, India. This hybrid role combines the facilitation and team-health focus of a Scrum Master with the accountability and drive of a Delivery Lead. You will own the delivery outcome for your squad, anticipating risks, unblocking issues before they escalate, and keeping delivery on track from planning through to live release.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of in-scope programme items, from planning through to successful Production release
• Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and blockers across the squad, and drive them to resolution ahead of time
• Run Agile ceremonies (stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives, backlog refinement) and act as Scrum Master for the squad
• Coordinate across all squad disciplines to ensure a coherent, well-sequenced delivery plan
• Track progress against delivery milestones and proactively escalate risks to timeline, scope, or quality
• Act as the primary point of contact for delivery status, reporting progress clearly to stakeholders and leadership
• Manage dependencies with other squads, teams, and support functions involved in the wider programme
• Support release planning and coordination through to Production deployment, including go-live readiness and post-release checks
• Foster a healthy, high-performing squad culture, removing impediments and shielding the team from unnecessary distraction
• Continuously improve squad ways of working, delivery processes, and team velocity

Requirements

• Proven experience as a Delivery Lead, Scrum Master, or similar role, owning end-to-end delivery of digital products or features
• Track record of delivering through to Production in a mobile and backend delivery environment
• Strong, demonstrable proactivity - able to give examples of identifying and resolving risks before they impacted delivery
• Solid grounding in Agile/Scrum practices and ceremonies, with the ability to adapt process to the needs of the squad
• Experience coordinating cross-functional teams spanning mobile (iOS/Android), backend, QA, architecture, business analysis, and design
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, comfortable reporting to senior stakeholders
• Ability to manage multiple dependencies and priorities across a delivery landscape
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving programme environment

Nice to Have

• Scrum Master or Agile certification (e.g. CSM, PSM)
• Experience delivering within financial services or a similarly regulated environment
• Familiarity with JIRA, Confluence, and release management tooling
• Experience with mobile app release processes (App Store / Play Store)

We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Opportunity to work in a hybrid environment
• Professional development opportunities
