The Delivery Lead reports within the Program Management / Delivery function and works in tight collaboration with Product to enable data-informed prioritization and decision-making.

What You'll Do

This position requires strong delivery leadership, execution discipline, and the ability to operate within a product-oriented, agile delivery model.

Execution Cadence & Transparency - 30%

• Facilitate sprint ceremonies, milestone reviews, delivery rituals, and execution checkpoints in partnership with Product and Engineering.
• Maintain delivery status reporting, milestone tracking, RAID logs, and execution dashboards.
• Provide clear, concise delivery updates to Product, Program, and leadership stakeholders.
• Ensure delivery progress remains aligned to roadmap intent, surfacing execution variance early with options and impacts.
• Continuously improve delivery processes, tooling, and practices to increase predictability and flow.

Partnering with Product - 30%

• Partner closely with Product Management to ensure backlog readiness, clear priorities, and sprint alignment.
• Surface delivery tradeoffs, risks, constraints, and downstream impacts to inform Product decision-making.
• Support Product in sequencing work realistically based on dependencies, capacity, and delivery risk.
• Enable Product to make outcome-oriented decisions by translating delivery realities into actionable insights.

Partnering with the Extended Team - 10%

• Partner with Marketing, Commercialization, Change Management, and Communications teams to support release readiness and go-to-market activities.
• Collaborate with Quality and the Engineering Center of Excellence to ensure delivery standards, quality expectations, and readiness criteria are met.
• Coordinate cross-functional release activities to ensure smooth launches and adoption.

What We Expect from You

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, Technology, or a related discipline-or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of experience in delivery, project management, program execution, or related roles within technology-enabled or engineering environments.
• Strong experience operating within agile or hybrid delivery models in a product-oriented organization.
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex dependencies, competing priorities, and multiple stakeholders.
• Exceptional organizational, communication, and facilitation skills.
