You'll steer end-to-end programs, align with business OKRs, manage risks, and champion continuous improvement through metrics, automation, and strong stakeholder collaboration across business, technology, product, and operations.

Responsibilities

Lead mission-critical delivery teams dedicated to the successful achievement of major business and technology programs—often where the path is unclear and complexity is high.
Own Disciplined Agile Delivery processes and practices to develop and sustain high-performing delivery teams.
Teach Disciplined Agile delivery values, patterns, and skills; be a role model for delivery managers and team members whose roles require proficiency in shipping value.
Strategic Program Delivery- 60% Own end-to-end delivery of Tier-1 strategic initiatives with enterprise and C‑suite visibility; align program outcomes to business OKRs and value realization. Establish and maintain the integrated delivery plan (work plan/roadmap) using Disciplined Agile methods; define milestones, dependencies, and decision points. Coordinate stakeholder interactions and ceremonies across business, technology, product, and operations (planning, reviews/demos, and retrospectives). Develop and implement program delivery dashboards and information radiators; track flow metrics (throughput, cycle time, lead time, WIP, flow efficiency, predictability). Manage risks to value and quality, including adherence to test strategies, coordination of delivery dependencies, and timely escalation with options and recommendations. Apply SDLC/PDLC controls and Change Management practices; ensure compliance with risk and security standards.
Executive Communication- 20% Prepare and present concise, decision-ready updates for senior leaders; translate technical complexity into business impact. Maintain executive-ready status reports and dashboards on a defined cadence; clearly frame situation, complication, options, and recommendations. Partner with Finance and business sponsors to articulate ROI, benefit tracking, and investment health; surface trade-offs and secure decisions as needed.
Delivery Excellence & Flow Metrics- 20% Identify and implement agile process improvements for stable delivery; drive continuous improvement with measurable outcomes rather than ceremony compliance. Develop and report on agile health and maturity; champion automation/ time-saving opportunities (CI/CD, test automation, tooling) to improve flow and quality. Mentor and coach delivery managers and team members on the Disciplined Agile framework and approved delivery tools to enable a common way of working.
