📋 Description

• 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, not after deadlines slip, and diagnose root causes (estimation, scope, capacity, ownership, quality, 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. • Work with QA and engineering leads to make quality visible as part of delivery — tracking escaped bugs, rework, and release readiness, and supporting consistent Definition of Ready / Definition of Done and quality gates. • Track cross-team dependencies, ensure blockers are owned and resolved, and run clear, fact-based escalation paths. • Build a clear understanding of each external team’s composition, role coverage, seniority mix, ownership areas, and capability gaps. • Identify where delivery or quality issues are caused by team setup, missing ownership, skill gaps, low allocation, weak technical leadership, or unclear requirements. • Ensure external teams follow agreed company delivery rules, documentation expectations, engineering standards, quality gates, and reporting practices. • Build vendor/team delivery scorecards covering predictability, quality, responsiveness, planning accuracy, delivery reliability, and escalation patterns. • Create fact-based escalation paths when external teams repeatedly miss commitments, provide weak delivery evidence, or fall below agreed quality expectations. • Communicate delivery status, risks, and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating delivery issues into business impact.

🎯 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 engineering teams, vendors, or delivery groups of roughly 20–35 people. • Exposure to a few different business models or product environments (rather than narrow specialization) is a strong plus. • Strong grasp of software development lifecycles, agile delivery, estimation, release planning, QA workflows, and engineering team dynamics. • Ability to build delivery reporting and analysis, and to read teams accurately — including spotting gaps hidden behind tidy reporting. • Strong delivery metrics fluency: planned vs. actual, cycle time, throughput, escaped bugs, rework, blocked work, and predictability. • Risk and dependency management. • Excellent communication with both technical and non-technical audiences. • Hands-on with delivery and engineering tools such as Jira, GitHub, Confluence, Linear, or Azure DevOps.

🏖️ Benefits

• Remote-first: work from anywhere in the world, no relocation required. • Flexible hours: we measure outcomes, not time at a desk. • Unlimited PTO: take the time you need to rest, recharge, and do your best work. • Learning & development budget: courses, books, conferences, certifications, whatever helps you grow. • Performance-based compensation: your impact directly shapes your pay and career trajectory. • A small, senior, collaborative team where your work is visible and your decisions matter. • The chance to build products used by millions of people across 160+ countries.
