Delivery Manager

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of your teams (a project, sub-project or stream), owning scope, timelines, quality and outcomes
• Own your team's staffing and composition: define the roles and skills the project needs, interview candidates, and assess their skills and seniority
• Set up or take over the delivery environment, both technically (tooling, environments, CI/CD) and process-wise (ways of working, team ceremonies, roles and responsibilities), and adapt it to the project's needs
• Plan and estimate effort, schedule delivery and track milestones, working with senior leadership on budgets
• Establish team-level delivery governance: delivery reviews, health checks, reporting and escalation paths, so the project's state is clear at every SDLC phase
• Drive data-driven delivery: define and track metrics across all SDLC stages and delivery aspects (scope, schedule, quality, productivity, team health), tailor them to the commercial model and SDLC, and use them to steer decisions and improvements
• Identify, assess and mitigate scope, schedule, budget and resource risks; run risk reviews and escalate early when needed
• Act as a problem solver on the project, focused on delivering value to the customer
• Make software architecture decisions within your teams' scope and justify them against functional and non-functional requirements
• Translate architecture into detailed implementation plans and suggest improvements to the overall solution design
