Senior Delivery Manager, Customer & Checkout

Location: North Point, SF

 

The Role

We are seeking an experienced and technically-astute Delivery Manager to lead several strategic engineering teams within our Customer and Checkout domain. This is a critical role responsible for the end-to-end delivery of complex, high-impact projects that define our customer's journey—from identity and account management to the final purchase and order confirmation.

The ideal candidate is not just a project manager; you are a technical leader, a strategic thinker, and a master communicator. You have a deep understanding of software architecture, a passion for engineering excellence, and the ability to bridge the gap between business stakeholders and engineering teams. You thrive in a dynamic environment, excel at managing ambiguity, and have a proven track record of delivering robust, scalable solutions that meet and exceed business goals.

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

Delivery & Execution:

  • Own End-to-End Delivery: Take full ownership of the delivery lifecycle for multiple engineering teams/tracks , including planning, execution, risk management, and successful release.
  • Drive Predictable Delivery: Implement and refine agile processes to ensure a predictable and sustainable delivery cadence. Proactively identify and remove impediments, shield the teams from distractions, and manage dependencies across the organization.
  • Strategic Roadmapping: Collaborate with Product Managers, Engineering Leads, and business stakeholders to translate business goals into a clear, actionable, and technically feasible delivery roadmap.
  • Risk & Dependency Management: Proactively identify, track, and mitigate risks, issues, and dependencies. Ensure cross-team and cross-departmental alignment to prevent bottlenecks.

 

Technical Leadership & Strategy:

  • Champion Engineering Best Practices: Be a vocal advocate for high-quality code, robust testing strategies (unit, integration, E2E), CI/CD, observability, and security-first development.
  • Contribute to Architectural Decisions: Leverage your strong technical and architectural knowledge to participate in design discussions, challenge assumptions, and ensure solutions are scalable, resilient, and maintainable.
  • Solve Complex Problems: When faced with unknowns or unexpected roadblocks, demonstrate the aptitude to dive deep, analyze the situation, and architect pragmatic solutions to keep delivery on track.
  • Manage Technical Debt: Work with teams to identify and prioritize technical debt, ensuring a healthy balance between new feature development and long-term system health.

Stakeholder Management & Communication:

  • Be the Communications Hub: Serve as the primary point of contact for your delivery tracks. Effortlessly translate complex technical concepts for business stakeholders and articulate business goals and their impact to engineering teams.
  • Manage Expectations: Provide clear, consistent, and transparent updates on progress, priorities, and risks to all stakeholders, including senior leadership.
  • Foster Collaboration: Build strong, collaborative relationships with Product, Design, Analytics, and other engineering teams to ensure a unified and effective approach to product development.

What You'll Bring (Qualifications)

Required Qualifications:

  • Experience: 7+ years of experience in the software industry with at least 4+ years in a Delivery Manager, Technical Program Manager, or senior Scrum Master role, managing multiple agile teams concurrently.
  • Domain Expertise: Demonstrable experience in the e-commerce domain, specifically with Customer identity (authentication/authorization), user accounts, shopping cart, and checkout/payment systems.
  • Technical Acumen: Solid understanding of modern software
