Job description

Description

Pictet Tech Portugal is one of three technology hubs (Geneva, Lisbon & Luxembourg) powering software engineering across the Pictet Group. Since 2016, we have grown into a community of committed, curious professionals with a long-term vision, an open, team-driven culture recognized by our people and driven by strong guiding principles:Independence, Long-term thinking, Partnership, Responsibility and Entrepreneurial spirit.This is an on-site position located in Portugal.Agile delivery has matured past ceremonies and facilitation. Knowing how to run a retrospective, or why a Sprint Goal matters, is the starting point everyone is expected to bring. It is not what makes a Delivery Lead valuable. What matters now is judgment: the ability to keep a delivery system honest, to see risk before it becomes a blocker, and to say so clearly enough that the right people can decide, at team level, at business level, and at the level of the organization itself.The Delivery Lead is accountable for the health, transparency and continuous improvement of the delivery system. Working across Product, Tech and the squad, you connect product intent with delivery reality, and you strengthen delivery confidence, flow and team effectiveness. You work through transparency rather than authority. You make the facts and the options visible, and the team and the organization decide where to go.
This role does not carry budget ownership, resource allocation authority, or people-management responsibility. Those sit with the Product Manager, Tech Lead, and ChapterLead respectively.

Requirements

What you will do

• Keep the delivery system healthy. You maintain a current view of capacity, flow,dependencies, risks and delivery confidence, alongside team health, sustainableworkload and business satisfaction. You report on them, flag issues early, and makesure they have owners, actions and follow-through.
• Connect product intent with delivery reality. You make the consequences of scopeand timing decisions visible before they become surprises, while the Product Managerdecides value and priority. You help the multidisciplinary team (BA, Tech Lead,engineers, QA, UX) stay aligned on what is feasible and what it costs. You useproduction feedback to check that the loop between delivery and outcomes works,while Product owns the outcomes.
• Make decisions clear. You make decisions, owners, assumptions and trade-offsvisible, and bring the right people together in the right forum, not more status reports.
• Improve how the team works. You adapt practices (Scrum, Kanban, XP or a blend)within organizational standards. When something systemic breaks, such as releases,late testing or slow decisions, you make it visible and drive the fix with the specialistswho own the execution.
• Use data, automation and AI pragmatically. You improve insight and delivery withthem. You are not the AI expert. You are the catalyst who makes sure your team getsthe value the Chapters are building.

Mandatory skills

• Proven experience owning the effectiveness of a delivery system (flow, dependencies,risks, delivery confidence) in a software product team, including at least one exampleof surfacing a risk before anyone asked.
• Solid practice of Agile and flow methods, and the judgment to adapt them to theteam’s context rather than apply them by the book.
• Ability to influence Product, Tech and stakeholders without formal authority, throughevidence and clear communication, and to name a risk plainly without taking sides.
• Experience coaching and training others on frameworks and ways of working.
• Experience using delivery metrics (e.g. flow, aging work, WIP) to make risks andtrade-offs visible.
• Fluent in English, written and spoken.

Valued assets

• Experience driving change at both team level and business or organizational level.
• Experience with AI tools, including personal solutions you have built with them.
• Experience coordinating across several squads or platforms.
• Experience in financial services or a regulated environment.
• Agile or delivery certification (e.g. PSM, SAFe, ICAgile).
• French.

Who you are

• An agile mindset. Agility is about collaboration, growing together, supportingcolleagues, intellectual humility and a strong desire to learn.
• Curious about technology. You tinker, you keep learning, and you care about thecraft beyond the job description.
• A clear communicator. You can explain a hard trade-off simply, in writing and inconversation, to people with different priorities.
• A well-rounded personality and a good sense of humor. We don’t compromise onthese.

Benefits

What we offer

• Real influence. The autonomy to shape how a product team delivers, and to see the effect of your work on the team’s results.
• A Chapter community. Peers across squads, and Chapter Leads who coach you, point out your gaps and push you to grow.
• Continuous learning. Time and support to keep learning, with a culture that fosters collaboration, professional development and curiosity about new practices, including AI.
• An open, supportive culture. Room for open and meaningful discussions across the organization and locations, a safe place to share and promote your ideas, and the chance to grow alongside inspiring colleagues.
• Modern tooling. Premium hardware, AI-assisted ways of working and a generous AI usage budget.
• A lifestyle in line with the tech world. Flexitime, state-of-the‑art facilities and a dynamic organization.
