Reporting to the Director of Customer Experience Technology, this role ensures that the team meets diverse organizational needs, balancing proactive project work with critical operational support in MX. The Senior IT Delivery & Planning Lead will lead strategic planning and resource allocation, proactively shape delivery standards, and mentor team members on best practices. The role applies agile project management methodologies for structured project workstreams and leverages Kanban methods to manage and prioritize more reactive, run-the-business tasks efficiently.

• Operational Priorities & Roadmap: Creating and maintaining a roadmap for projects and operations, using agile planning, and managing vendor communication.
• Stakeholder Management: Coordinating requests, communicating updates, and facilitating roadmap presentations with stakeholders.
• Agile Project Management: Leading agile practices like sprints and retrospectives to ensure progress.
• Resource Planning: Developing and adjusting resource plans based on project needs and operational demands.
• Continuous Improvement: Streamlining processes and using feedback to enhance team practices and efficiency.

This is a remote US role with a preference for candidates based in the San Francisco Bay Area, on at least in the Pacific Time Zone. ŌURA employees in major cities (like San Francisco or San Diego) occasionally gather informally at local co-working locations.

Requirements

We would love to have you on our team if you have:

• Experience: 6+ years of IT project management experience, preferably in Infrastructure & Operations.
• Leadership & Mentorship: Demonstrated strong leadership and experience mentoring teams and leading cross-functional projects.
• Resource & Operations Management: Proven ability to balance project and operational work within a technology or IT-focused team.
• Agile Expertise: Proficiency in agile methodologies (sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives) and hands-on project management using agile principles.
• Tool Proficiency: Skilled in work management tools like Jira and Confluence.
• Communication & Planning: Excellent written and verbal communication, with strong planning, prioritization, and coordination skills.
• Stakeholder Management: Ability to build relationships, manage expectations, and align stakeholders effectively.
• Adaptability: Strong strategic planning and adaptability to shifting priorities.
• Regulated Environment Experience: Experience in regulated environments, ideally supporting healthcare or government contracts, with understanding of compliance.
• Remote Collaboration: Ability to lead remote teams effectively and occasional travel for strategic planning.
