Delivery & Growth Lead

Salary banding: £57,000 - £86,000

Experience: Expert

Working pattern: Full-Time

Reporting to: Kelvin Moore, Agile Delivery Director 

Sponsorship: Unfortunately we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.

Where you’ll work:

Depending on the needs of your business area, we expect hub based people to be in the office at least once a week, and to go to OVO Connection events in-person. 

You’ll be assigned to the closest one of our three hub offices, Bristol, Glasgow, or London; unless your role requires field-based work. Each hub has accessible spaces to park your laptop, is designed to inspire people, help them connect and bring big ideas to life.

Everyone belongs at OVO

At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That's why we need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

Teamworking for the planet

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen.

Come and join us as we shape the future of Product & Tech at OVO, where you feel inspired, have the opportunity to achieve mastery, are empowered to deliver great experiences for customers, and contribute to a clear purpose – building outstanding products and services that make a real difference.

We're on a mission to make things simpler and more focussed, so we can deliver the things that we know will enhance our customer experiences, at pace. The journey we're on means we reset being a tech and customer-led company and will result in us delivering a service where customers want to stay for longer, buy more, and tell their friends, all with a lower cost base and greater efficiency.

This isn't just a reshuffle; it involves fundamental changes to our ways of working, team structures, and how teams are composed – all grounded in principles that foster high performance, locality, and simplicity – making it easier to get things done and creating opportunities for you to grow.

This role in a nutshell:

As a Delivery & Growth Lead, you’ll have a unique dual focus: keeping delivery flowing and growing the brilliant people behind it.

You’ll drive continuous improvement across our tech delivery lifecycle, working closely with Product, Design, Engineering and Agile Coaching. You’ll lead on delivery rhythms, spot and remove systemic blockers, and help standardise how we work across teams.

At the same time, you’ll be a key champion for our people – working with ICs and the People team to shape development plans, embed growth frameworks, and make OVO a place where talent thrives.

Initially, you'll collaborate to lead a team of approximately 25 individuals within our Technology and Product functions, all while ensuring everyone receives a high-quality, personalised development experience. You will take a holistic approach to people leadership, supporting the team across all aspects—from development and wellbeing to day-to-day administrative needs.

Your key outcomes will be:

Ensure the efficient, high-quality delivery of product and engineering objectives within a designated scope

• Success metrics: Team velocity/throughput, cycle time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, adherence to quality standards, successful delivery of planned objectives.

Collaborating closely with your IC partner, support, influence and encourage the growth and development of individuals at Senior and below role levels with their career growth and performance.

• Success metrics: Effectiveness of IC partnership model (as measured by feedback surveys, successful development plan execution), IC Growth Framework adoption, employee engagement/satisfaction scores (e.g., DevEx surveys), participation/engagement in relevant communities of practise, measurable improvements from enablement initiatives, and qualitative feedback on manager's facilitation/coaching effectiveness.

Key Responsibilities:

• Delivery Metrics Management and Execution: Take ownership for the timely, high-quality delivery of planned engineering work by actively participating in planning, tracking progress, and removing obstacles. Partner with Product Management, Technical Leads, and stakeholders to align priorities, define requirements, manage dependencies, and ensure smooth product delivery. Monitor and improve key delivery metrics
