Position Overview

As a Delivery Owner on one or more teams, you are accountable for predictable delivery across several ongoing initiatives. You will own delivery sequencing, dependency and flow management, and honest communication of committed versus likely-to-ship outcomes. You work hand-in-hand with Product Managers, as they define customer needs and priorities, while you drive the execution. You will operate in a multi-project environment, balancing competing timelines, dependencies, and capacity.

Success in this role means teams make capacity-honest commitments, surface delivery risk early, and ship with clear visibility, while Product Managers remain accountable for “what and why”.

This position requires flexibility as we respond to new business and customer requirements, while being able to quickly adapt to new strategies and priorities as they evolve.

This position is open to internal and external candidates.

Product Line

This role will be working on the Race Roster product.

Work Location

The successful candidate for this role can be either a remote employee (working 100% remotely from a designated location within Canada), a hybrid employee (flexibility to work in the office or from home at a location within 75 km from the London, ON office), or an in‑office employee at our London, ON office.

Responsibilities

Delivery predictability & flow (core responsibility)

• Protect committed-vs-likely clarity. Align sprint and release commitments with team capacity, active work-in-progress (WIP), and known risks.
• Manage flow and WIP. Update stakeholders and provide clear visibility into core deliverables versus stretch goals well before target release dates. Reduce last‑minute scope churn and surprise WIP that undermines predictability.
• Facilitate for delivery clarity. Guide team planning, stand‑ups, and reviews to streamline delivery and clarify priorities. By fostering open communication and lean processes, you’ll ensure the team maintains strong shared ownership of sprint commitments without mid‑cycle confusion.
• Make delivery‑track decisions. Balance delivery sequencing and cross‑team dependencies to eliminate execution friction, working in close partnership with Product Managers and Engineering as they define feature requirements and strategic priorities.
• Align stakeholders on “done.” Partner with Product Managers, Engineering, QA, and other stakeholders to confirm delivery readiness and agree what “done enough to ship” means for each increment before the team commits. Partner with the Product Managers to ensure requirements are clear before committing to a sprint.
• Coordinate across concurrent projects. Own delivery sequencing and coordination across multiple concurrent projects or workstreams. Make timeline, dependency, and capacity trade‑offs visible so competing priorities are explicit rather than discovered late in the sprint.
• Produce capacity‑honest plans. Prepare planning inputs that reflect real capacity, known dependencies, and delivery risk. “Ready to commit” means the team can stand behind the plan without discovering major delivery blockers after the sprint starts.
• Participate actively in sprint ceremonies for the projects you support . Take part in refinement support for delivery readiness, sprint planning, daily stand‑ups, reviews, retrospectives.
