• Liaise with internal stakeholders and cross-functional teams to ensure visibility of timelines, priorities, and potential blockers.
• Maintain a strong understanding of your product area, including key features, user benefits, and how your team’s work contributes to the wider platform.
• Prepare high-quality release documentation, internal briefings, and training resources to support smooth rollouts and partner readiness.
• Collaborate with Partner Support to help identify, resolve, and prevent product-related issues, driving continuous improvement in quality.
• Focus on reducing rework by promoting early-stage clarity, rigorous acceptance criteria, and proactive testing.
• Contribute to the development and evolution of delivery processes, helping to improve team rituals, standards, and documentation practices.
• Mentor and support fellow Project Delivery Managers, sharing best practices, domain knowledge, and delivery techniques.
• Meet with dealers, partners, and manufacturers to gather feedback, validate requirements, and support implementation efforts.

Qualifications include a keen interest in delivering software features in a product-led or agile development environment, strong organizational and time management skills, excellent communication, a detail-oriented approach, and experience with grooming sessions, release planning, and backlog management. Familiarity with SaaS, DevOps culture, or dealer management systems is a plus.
