Position Overview

At the heart of our mission is a simple belief: complex software development should be predictable, transparent, and efficient. We are seeking a Director of Agile Delivery Management to be the architect of that operational excellence. In this role, you will bridge the gap between high-level strategic vision and the tactical, everyday execution of our product teams. You will lead, mentor, and inspire a multidisciplinary team of program managers and agile practitioners, serving as the connective tissue across the organization to ensure every release delivers business value with speed and precision. If you are a rigorous leader who can balance the discipline of Agile frameworks with the flexibility required in a high-growth SaaS environment, we’ve built a seat at the table just for you.

 

What You’ll Do

• Delivery Strategy & Governance: Define and evangelize an enterprise-wide Agile framework that aligns with our long-term company goals and sets a new standard for our vast portfolio of products.
• Team Leadership: Recruit, mentor, and scale a high-performing team of Program Managers, fostering a culture of radical transparency, relentless improvement, and operational discipline.
• Agile Rituals & Process: Direct the optimization of our delivery rituals (Scrum, Kanban, PI Planning), ensuring seamless flow from discovery to deployment through mature, data-driven methodology. 
• Continuous Improvement & Learning: Drive a continuous improvement culture through postmortems, retrospectives and accountable action tracking.
• Release Predictability: Lead cross-functional coordination to uncover dependencies, manage risks, and ensure predictable release cycles across complex, interconnected product lines.
• Workflow Optimization: Spearhead a culture of data-informed execution, utilizing velocity metrics, cycle time analysis, and flow efficiency to optimize delivery performance and business outcomes.
• AI-Enabled Delivery: Integrate cutting-edge tools into our delivery lifecycle to automate reporting, identify bottlenecks, and enhance forecasting accuracy.
• Cross-Functional Orchestration: Work in lockstep with Product Management and Engineering leadership to balance speed-to-market with technical debt management and operational ROI.
