  • Ensure consistent and pragmatic use of delivery methodologies, including Agile, SAFe, and hybrid delivery models.  

  • Facilitate executive and cross-functional decision-making through concise insights, reporting, metrics, and recommendations.  

  • Champion continuous improvement in delivery practices, tooling, operational processes, and team collaboration.  

  • Support resource planning, capacity management, and prioritization activities across programs and teams. 

  • Perform other duties as assigned 

 

Education and Experience 

 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field required; equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered.  

  • 7+ years of experience in software delivery, program management, or related technology leadership roles.  

  • 3+ years of experience managing multiple concurrent software delivery initiatives or programs.  

  • Proven experience managing complex, cross-functional software programs from initiation through delivery.  

  • Demonstrated experience working with senior leadership and executive stakeholders.  

  • Experience operating within enterprise-scale or SaaS technology environments.  

  • PMP, SAFe, or equivalent program/project management certification preferred. 

 
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities 

 

  • Strong understanding of Agile frameworks and scaling methodologies (e.g., SAFe, LeSS), including the judgment to apply them pragmatically based on team and organizational needs.  

  • Solid understanding of modern software engineering and product delivery practices.  

  • Strong resource management skills, including forecasting, capacity planning, prioritization, and tradeoff analysis.  

  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills with the ability to communicate effectively across executive, product, and engineering audiences.  

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce concise status updates, risk summaries, and decision-support materials.  

  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to translate ambiguity into structured, actionable delivery plans.  

  • Experience with modern delivery tooling (e.g., Jira, Linear, Confluence) and an understanding of how tooling enables effective delivery practices.  

  • Demonstrated ability to identify, surface, and resolve risks before they become delivery issues.  

  • Ability to show ownership of your work, take on challenges and acknowledge growth opportunities, and demonstrate patience when learning new processes 

  • Courtesy, respect, and thoughtfulness in teaming with colleagues and other stakeholders 

This position has an estimated base salary of $145,000 - $165,000 plus a discretionary bonus. An employment offer is based on the applicant’s relevant work experience, applicable knowledge, skills, abilities, internal equity, and alignment with market data.
