Company mission
To enable enterprises to successfully manage their IT disaster recovery, cloud migration, and release strategies.
Role
Who you are
- Some experience in an agile environment - we loosely adopt scrum & kanban today
- Ability to navigate & mitigate risks / dependencies for your squad
- A good communicator, experienced with working with a range of stakeholders including product managers, engineers, and designers
- A fair understanding of the entire product delivery process, from ideation to delivery
- You consider yourself a lifelong learner, inspiring those around you to gain a better understanding of everything related to software product development
- A delivery orientated mind-set, we are not looking for a pure hands off scrum master, we need someone who wants to get into the detail, the context, & the platform itself (Cutover) & own the features that your squad(s) build
What the job involves
- As a Technical Delivery Manager, you will help our product & engineering org work cross-functionally and collaboratively as we journey through this next stage of growth
- Being a startup (albeit one that’s growing quickly) - we are looking for that balance between player & coach, so facilitating positive outcomes, driving change, and leading with empathy are really important but rolling up your sleeves and getting into the thick of things (across the software development lifecycle) are equally as critical
- Own and help refine our ways of working processes within a squad(s) to optimise for flow - e.g facilitating retros, planning, stand-ups & sprint reviews & making sure the best possible value is taken from those ceremonies
- Coordinating between key stakeholders, product managers, engineering, and QA engineers in the pursuit of getting code into the hands of our users on time
- Own key decision points around adjustments to release schedules for your squad, e.g owning the delivery roadmap
- Encourage transparency and ensure communication is broadcast when changes / risks / challenges are happening within the squad
- Work closely with your tech lead & product manager to form a strong squad leadership model with your focus being on software delivery & enablement
- Making the day to day experience for our engineers easier and reduce the number of distractions & limit context switching as much as possible from fixing blockers to having difficult (but polite) conversations with external stakeholders where necessary
- Proficient in configuring and utilising Jira Cloud, understanding of cloud technologies such as AWS or GCP
- Strong technical knowledge on development processes as well as source control (e.g. Github)
