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.
What Success Looks Like[PA4] [PA5]
- Predictability: A consistent ability to deliver on projected roadmap dates by effectively balancing scope, team capacity, and proactive dependency management that establishes trust with internal stakeholders and customers.
- Operational Velocity: A highly efficient development pipeline where cycle times are optimized and waste is systematically removed.

- Relentless Improvement: Reduction of repeat issues, improvements implemented, sustained and measured.
- Evidence-Based Delivery: A culture where decisions are driven by real-time data, usage metrics, and clear performance indicators.
- Organizational Trust: A unified engine where the Delivery Management function is viewed as a strategic partner to both Engineering and Product leadership.
- Proven Leadership: 10+ years of experience in Program Management, Engineering Operations, or Agile Delivery, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role scaling high-performance SaaS delivery teams.
- Strategic Mindset: A track record of successful product delivery where you led the journey from abstract roadmap to high-impact, market-ready releases.
- Technical Sophistication: Deep expertise in Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe (or similar scaling frameworks), alongside a strong understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
- Analytics Fluency: Proficiency in leveraging quantitative data (velocity, burn-down, throughput) to drive high-conviction delivery decisions.
- Stakeholder Mastery: The ability to navigate organizational complexity and communicate the business value of operational excellence to C-suite stakeholders.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Business, or a related field required; Master’s degree preferred.
