Do you want to work somewhere with real purpose in life saving technologies? Are you a natural leader with a keen interest in medical imaging?
We are looking for a Project Delivery Lead to join our ambitious, fast-paced Software Development Team. In this role, you will be responsible for managing the delivery of multiple software products, coordinating internal development teams, external partners and suppliers. You will coordinate and lead the projects using agile, iterative or waterfall methods depending on the needs of the project and team to achieve the best results.
You’ll be tasked with inspiring others to succeed whilst keeping development teams focused on performing at their best. You'll work with the squads to continuously improve how they deliver, develop their agile skills to consistently meet team commitments and increase that velocity over time.
In this role, you will be responsible for individual product releases, collaborating with other departments (e.g., Science, RAQA and Product Management) to agree on scope and schedule. Your focus will be getting the best out of the teams to deliver those product releases – and controlling the risks. In a regulated industry you and the team will comply with the requirements of an ISO 13485 quality system and you will work to make the processes as effective and efficient as possible.
Given that we are in a regulated industry, there are some of the challenges that will be different, i.e., being agile whilst working within documented processes. Nonetheless, you will be integral in improving those processes to lift burdens on the team, while also ensuring patient safety.
The main duties and responsibilities of the role are...
-
Leading the project team to deliver projects to time, quality and budget.
- Co-ordinating shared resources across your teams and managing internal and external stakeholders including suppliers.
- Ensuring product and technical leads within teams focus on delivering value for customers and Mirada by delivering the right features well.
- Running projects using agile or iterative development methodologies as appropriate for the context of the project.
- Identifying problems and risks early, owning their resolution and escalation
- Drive improvements within the team working practices and in the wider departmental processes
- Ensuring the product development process for each release is followed to deliver safe clinical software and comply with regulatory requirements.
- Run Scrum ceremonies (sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives, show & tell) and coach team members to be able to grow into running these
- Ensuring projects have appropriate resources allocated, prioritizing as required
- Reporting release status to management/committees as required
- Other reasonable tasks as requested by the VP of Product Delivery
We are looking for the following skills and competencies...
Essential skills
- Experience of working within a regulated environment or under ISO9001 or equivalent QMS
- Practical experience in a Scrum Master or Delivery Lead role in an agile environment

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to collaborate with team members in various locations
- Excellent time management and prioritisation skills, with the ability to work to deadlines
- Ability to adapt to changes in circumstances and arrive at pragmatic solutions
Advantageous Skills
- Training/Certification in Agile or Lean software development (e.g. Scrum Master certification)
- Professional project management training or qualification from an appropriate body (E.g. APM, PMI).
- Degree or equivalent in a relevant subject (E.g. Computing, Science, Software)
- Experience of working within a medical software company
- Familiarity in a related clinical domain or with medical software systems
