TEAM

At easyJet, we are on a mission to transform our airline operations into a world class, digitally optimised operation, using new and emerging technologies.

Product and its ways of working is new to Airline Operations at easyJet, and we are looking for people who can help us mature our capability as we journey through the skies together!

As Delivery Manager in the Connected Crew & Optimised Flying Mission, you'll own the maturity of delivery within one of our product groups — running the operating rhythm of its product teams and lifting them from project-shaped delivery to a genuine product way of working. Connected Crew & Optimised Flying brings together four product groups — Connected Crew, Safety, Crew Training, and Flight & Fuel Optimisation — to create a unified mission focused on improving operational efficiency, safety, crew effectiveness, and sustainability.

You'll work within the system of delivery designed at Mission level by the Delivery Lead, reporting to them, and be accountable for making it real in your product group — adapting it to the specific shape, risks and stakeholders of that group.

Our product groups connect crew, safety, training and flight optimisation to create a more integrated, data-driven operation. The focus is on getting the right information to the right people at the right time, anticipating risk earlier, continuously improving crew capability, and optimising every flight, ultimately improving safety, operational performance, crew experience, cost and emissions.

JOB PURPOSE

Your work directly enables your product group's outcome — whether that's consistent, confident crew decision-making, proactive safety intelligence, a unified data-driven training experience, or flights operated as close to optimal as possible.

· Improve and mature delivery predictability within the assigned product group, building strong relationships with the Product Managers, Tech Specialists and Software Engineers in your group.

· Operate, adapt and continuously improve the Mission's system of delivery within your product group, enabling teams to optimise idea-to-value flow. This is a hands-on delivery role, not an agile coaching role.

· Raise the delivery maturity of the product teams in your group against a clear baseline, with a plan and visible progress against it.

· Surface and remove impediments within your group, and escalate systemic blockers to the Delivery Lead where they need Mission-level intervention.

· Build and hold a single, credible delivery plan for your product group, spanning internal teams, vendor delivery and cross-team dependencies.

· Represent your product group's delivery status, risks and dependencies accurately and consistently to the Delivery Lead and wider Mission.
