Delivery Manager

Who we are

Apollo, a Skyward Group company, is an innovation-inspired insurance platform operating at Lloyd’s of London, delivering data-driven and creative solutions across a broad range of risks.

Our name reflects our origins. Inspired by one of our founding investors, Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, the business was built with the same pioneering mindset. Alongside Jim Hays, Neil set out to create a different kind of Lloyd’s platform, focused, agile and built around people.

Since launch in 2009, we have grown into a diversified insurance group offering products across Property, Casualty, Marine, Energy and Transportation, Specialty and Reinsurance, alongside Smart Follow and digital and embedded risk programmes. Our experience and unique ecosystem give Platform Partners the best chance of success, from navigating the Lloyd’s new entrant process through to the delivery of their long-term strategy.

With a team of more than 300 professionals, we continue to grow with purpose, combining underwriting excellence, innovation and collaboration to enable a more resilient and sustainable world.

Your Role

As a Delivery Manager, you'll play a key role in helping Apollo continue to evolve how technology is delivered across the business. Working within our Digital Solutions function, you'll support one or more product squads, partnering with Product Owners and Technical Leads to create the conditions for successful outcomes.

You'll help teams achieve valuable business outcomes safely, predictably and sustainably, whilst fostering collaborative, high-performing ways of working. You'll also contribute to the continued evolution of Apollo's delivery capability, helping embed consistent ways of working and a culture of continuous improvement.

• Help teams manage priorities, risks, dependencies and blockers.
• Coach squads in agile principles, fostering collaborative and high-performing ways of working.
• Use delivery data and metrics to improve delivery performance and team effectiveness.
• Build trusted relationships across Product, Engineering and the business, communicating progress, risks and delivery confidence.
• Contribute to the continued development of Apollo's delivery capability and ways of working.

What we are looking for

You'll bring experience leading delivery within product-led technology environments, together with a passion for helping teams succeed.

• Supporting cross-functional product or technology teams.
• Partnering with Product Owners, Engineering teams and business stakeholders to deliver successful outcomes.
• Facilitating planning, refinement, sprint reviews and retrospectives.
• Managing delivery risks, dependencies and competing priorities.
• Coaching teams and driving continuous improvement.
• Using delivery data and metrics to support informed decision making.
• Experience working within regulated industries, such as insurance or financial services, would be beneficial.
• Knowledge of DORA or Flow Metrics would be beneficial.
• Agile certifications, such as Scrum, SAFe or similar, would be beneficial.

What you’ll get in return

We offer a competitive and thoughtfully designed reward package that reflects the value of our people. This includes a fair and attractive salary, discretionary bonus, and a comprehensive benefits package - including 31 days’ annual leave, a non-contributory pension and private medical insurance.

Our commitment to inclusion

At Apollo, people are at the heart of everything we do. We are a diverse, growing team of empowered experts who bring collaboration, innovation and data-driven thinking to every relationship and every risk.
