Job title: Agile Delivery Manager
About Keyrock
Since our beginnings in 2017, we've grown to be a leading change-maker in the digital asset space, renowned for our partnerships and innovation.
Today, we rock with over 180 team members around the world. Our diverse team hails from 42 nationalities, with backgrounds ranging from DeFi natives to PhDs. Predominantly remote, we have hubs in London, Brussels and Singapore, and host regular online and offline hangouts to keep the crew tight.
We are trading on more than 80 exchanges, and working with a wide array of asset issuers. As a well-established market maker, our distinctive expertise led us to expand rapidly. Today, our services span market making, options trading, high-frequency trading, OTC, and DeFi trading desks.
But we’re more than a service provider. We’re an initiator. We're pioneers in adopting the Rust Development language for our algorithmic trading, and champions of its use in the industry.

And we push the industry's progress with our research and governance initiatives.
At Keyrock, we're not just envisioning the future of digital assets. We're actively building it.
Mission statement
We're seeking a Delivery Manager to ensure business value is delivered by acting as the glue between product, engineering, and teams.
You'll be involved early in product definition, breaking down scope into epics and user stories.
By leading the delivery lifecycle, you turn developer strengths into efficiency. You understand the 'what' and 'why' (led by PM) and own the 'how' (with engineering) and the 'when.'
Spotting dependencies and blockers early is key, with a strong focus on removing them quickly.
Comfort at handling stakeholders is important, along with promoting transparency and building self-service systems for tracking progress.
Agile principles guide the process, but flexibility and iteration with the team are what truly drive results.
A calm leader who can turn uncertainty into a clear plan is essential. The team's success matters most. You give credit for wins and take responsibility when things don’t go as planned.
You're humble and ready to get your hands dirty. Like Alfred Pennyworth or Samwise Gamgee, you tackle tough, unglamorous work with loyalty and perseverance.
With Accelerate on your nightstand and DORA metrics always in mind.
For this role we need the person to be based and work along CET timezone working hours (or maximum +/- 2 hours deviation).
