Delivery Manager
Remote (UK-based) | Full-time | Salary: £71,043 + benefits including 4.5-day week and 11% employer pension contribution
Do your best work, for the right reasons.
We’re looking for an experienced Delivery Manager to join our Product and Engineering Team to help us build beautifully simple, high-impact digital products that support teachers and improve outcomes for pupils across the UK.
Oak is a fully remote, mission-driven organisation offering high levels of flexibility, autonomy, and purpose. We’re a national not-for-profit working in partnership with teachers to create the highest-quality, sequenced curriculum and lesson resources for pupils across all subjects and age groups.
Our culture has been independently recognised through:
-
Flexa verified (93% overall score, including 95% for working hours and 97% for role modelling)
-
Escape the City's Top 1% Employers – based on anonymous colleague reviews of culture, development, and impact
-
Investors in People Gold - through external accreditation and colleague feedback
�� About the Role
Oak provides school teachers and pupils with the highest-quality curriculum and lesson resources across all subjects and age groups.
In this role, you will join our engineering team to lead delivery across our product squads and platform teams. You will keep priorities clear, dependencies visible, and work flowing, so teams can deliver in step with each other and with Oak's wider goals. You'll work closely with engineering, product, and platform colleagues, and you'll play a key role in shaping how Oak plans and delivers as we grow.
Our engineers work in cross-functional product squads alongside designers, researchers, and education experts, regularly releasing new features and improvements that provide teachers and pupils with quick and easy access to high-quality learning resources.
As part of the Oak team, you'll contribute to the wider success and culture of the organisation, and support and role model our five values: create the right environment, be a great colleague, own your role but work for the team, make things happen, and keep getting better.
�� What You’ll Be Doing
-
Align squads and platform teams on their goals and the dependencies between them, so they can deliver in step
-
Lead delivery across squads and platform teams: tracking progress, surfacing blockers, managing risks, and keeping delivery flowing
-
Drive reprioritisation across squads as priorities shift, to keep OKRs on track
-
Own and continuously improve Oak's delivery processes, ways of working, and tooling across squads and platform teams
-
As a member of the Oak Team, contribute to the planning and culture of the organisation
-
Work in cross-functional and product-oriented squads with colleagues from across the organisation, as required
-
Deputise for the Head of Engineering and take on other general responsibilities as required
�� What We’re Looking For
-
3+ years' experience in a delivery management, project management, or Scrum Master role
-
Deep knowledge of agile and/or lean delivery methodologies
-
Experience identifying and managing cross-team dependencies, keeping interconnected workstreams aligned without creating unnecessary process overhead
-
A track record of resolving delivery risks and priority clashes between teams, and managing competing stakeholder needs
You'll want to contribute in all areas, not just your own lane. You'll be comfortable working at pace across a range of digital systems, always looking for ways the team can keep getting better. And you'll be excellent at remote working, building relationships and managing your time effectively.
If this sounds like what you’d love to be doing, we can’t wait to hear from you. If you’re not sure that you exactly fit the above criteria, get in touch anyway. Ability and attitude are just as important as experience!
�� Our Benefits
-
25 days annual leave, plus one extra day for each year of service (up to 28)
-
Additional Oak closure days over Christmas/New Year
-
11% employer pension contribution (with no minimum employee contribution)
-
A 36-hour working week, with half-days on Fridays or every other Friday off
-
Fully remote working — we’ll support your home set-up and offer coworking options if preferred
-
Twice-yearly in-person offsites to collaborate, connect, and have fun
-
A culture that genuinely supports flexibility, autonomy, and trust

We believe diverse teams build better products. We warmly welcome applicants from all backgrounds, particularly those who are underrepresented in the tech and education sectors.
If you're from an underrepresented group, there's a good chance you're discounting yourself before you've even started. That's more common than you'd think, and it means we may miss out on brilliant people. If you're excited by this role but don't meet every requirement, please apply anyway.
We use the Applied platform to help reduce bias in our hiring process. Answers are anonymised and reviewed by a panel of humans.
