Requirements:

You should bring a strong technical foundation, practical delivery leadership experience, and a proactive approach to automation. The ideal candidate can engage with engineers as a technical peer while keeping projects organized, stakeholders informed, and teams focused on the right priorities.

• Professional software development experience, with a subsequent focus on technical program management or delivery coordination.

• Ability to read code, write scripts, and collaborate effectively with engineering teams; no specific programming language is required.

• Demonstrated ability to automate workflows, call APIs, integrate tools, and build reporting solutions independently.

• Practical experience using AI tools extensively, with sound judgment about their strengths, limitations, and appropriate applications.

• Experience managing delivery or release reporting for a team that ships software regularly.

• Previous experience leading engineers or a small technical team, including setting priorities and supporting team performance.
