Requirements
- 7+ years in software delivery, technical/engineering delivery management, technical program management, or engineering leadership.
- Proven experience managing delivery across multiple external teams, vendors, or distributed partners.
- Experience overseeing delivery across teams, vendors, or delivery groups of roughly 20–35 people.
- Strong grasp of software development lifecycles, agile delivery, estimation, release planning, and QA workflows.
- Ability to build delivery reporting and analyze engineering team dynamics.
- Strong delivery metrics fluency: planned vs. actual, cycle time, throughput, escaped bugs, and rework.
- Expertise in risk and dependency management.
- Excellent communication with both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Hands-on experience with delivery and engineering tools such as Jira, GitHub, Confluence, Linear, or Azure DevOps.
Responsibilities
- Build clear visibility into what each external team is working on, who owns what, and where delivery risk sits.
- Ensure delivery plans are realistic, transparent, and tied to business priorities—and track progress against them.
- Spot teams falling behind early and diagnose root causes like estimation, scope, capacity, or dependencies.
- Challenge weak plans, unrealistic estimates, unclear ownership, and superficial status reporting.
- Validate that reported progress reflects real engineering output.
- Improve planning and forecasting discipline, moving teams from optimistic plans to evidence-based delivery.
- Track cross-team dependencies, ensure blockers are owned, and run clear, fact-based escalation paths.
- Build vendor/team delivery scorecards covering predictability, quality, responsiveness, and reliability.
