Job description

At the Vitrolife Group, we work every day to unlock the full potential of science and technology to reduce the barriers towards building a family. Together we help our customers and their patients to fulfill the dream of having a baby.

About The Role

As Software Delivery Manager at Vitrolife, you will be responsible for ensuring that our software deliveries are planned realistically, executed effectively, and delivered according to agreed milestones, scope, and quality expectations. Working across multiple software development teams, you will drive execution of the software roadmap by turning priorities into predictable deliveries through close collaboration with Project Managers, Products Owners, Engineering Managers, and Scrum Masters.

You will improve planning, increase delivery transparency through meaningful metrics, remove organizational impediments, and help teams continuously improve how they work.

This is an opportunity to shape the future of software delivery in a growing medical device organization where engineering excellence, regulatory compliance, and agile execution in a stage-gate model are equally important.

You will be based in Aarhus, where you will join the dedicated Software Development team of 27 colleagues.

Your impact

• Drive execution of the software development roadmap across multiple software development teams.
• Ensure software work is realistically estimated, planned, and delivered according to agree milestones, scope, and quality expectations.
• Partner with Project Managers to establish realistic software milestone plans aligned with overall project plan and ensure software delivery commitments are met.
• Coordinate software deliveries across teams, proactively managing dependencies, risks, and delivery bottlenecks.
• Implement delivery metrics and dashboards that provide visibility into delivery performance, predictability, flow, and capacity.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives based on delivery data and team feedback.
• Coach and support Scrum Masters in enabling high-performing teams.
• Help software development teams adopt pragmatic agile practices that improve ownership, collaboration, and execution.
• Identify and remove organizational bottlenecks that impact delivery across teams.
• Foster a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement throughout the Software Development organization.

• 8+ years of experience in software delivery, software project management, agile leadership, or a similar role within a software development organization.
• Experience driving process improvements within a software development organization.
• Strong understanding of Agile delivery frameworks, including Scrum, and the ability to apply them pragmatically.
• Proven experience establishing delivery metrics, dashboards, and continuous improvement practices.
• Strong planning and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to balance long-term roadmap execution and changing business priorities.
• Experience with Jira and modern software development tooling.
• Experience from regulated industries, such as medical devices, or other quality-driven environments, is an advantage.
• Proficiency in English; Danish proficiency is a plus.

Who you are

• A proactive leader who enjoys creating clarity in complex environments, through applied structure and engagement.
• A strong facilitator who builds alignment across engineering teams and stakeholders.
• Data-driven in your decision making, using insights to improve delivery rather than simply reporting status.
• Comfortable challenging existing ways of working while bringing people along through change.
• Collaborative, pragmatic, and focused on enabling others to succeed.
• Able to build trust across both technical and business functions while maintaining focus on execution.

Success in this role means

• Software roadmap delivery becomes increasingly predictable and transparent.
• Delivery metrics and dashboards provide actionable insights that drive continuous improvement.
• Software milestone planning becomes more realistic through strong collaboration with Project Managers and engineering teams.
• Scrum Masters and software development teams become increasingly capable, empowered, and self-sufficient.
