Senior Manager Delivery

Requirements

A disciplined agile delivery leader accountable to:

• 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 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.
• Cook up and 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.
