About The Position

We build a complex software product with a globally distributed team that works autonomously across many time zones. We are looking for a Delivery Lead to be the person who makes our delivery reliable: who keeps work moving, keeps our cadence healthy, and keeps our commitments and our reality connected. This is a role for someone who loves a process that runs well and takes real satisfaction in things shipping on time and to standard. You will not own the product roadmap or make product decisions; our Product Owners own their epics end-to-end, and product direction sits with our leadership. Your job is to run the delivery process that supports them: keeping the cadence tight, protecting our fixed delivery appetites, clearing blockers, and keeping sprint teams and a portfolio of epics moving in a predictable rhythm. If you are energized by bringing order to a fast, autonomous environment, this role is for you.

Requirements

The one non-negotiable: you keep things moving and you follow through.
You can hold a distributed, autonomous team to a cadence and a commitment, have the direct conversation when something slips, and see it resolved, all without being heavy-handed.
Genuine enthusiasm for process and operational rhythm, and satisfaction in things running on time and to standard.
Excellent organization and calm across many moving parts and competing threads.
Clear, proactive communication across time zones and cultures, and comfort working asynchronously with an autonomous team.
The judgment to hold a standard firmly without being heavy-handed, and to enable a team rather than rescue it.
Applicants must be located within the U.S. with the ability to legally work in the U.S.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity coordinating between software Product and Engineering functions.
Experience in a fully remote, globally distributed organization.
Experience working in teams that release software on a predictable schedule.
Deep product management skill is not required. This role is expected to grow product capability over time, with active coaching and support from the Product Manager. We are hiring for delivery discipline and follow-through first.

Responsibilities

Run the rhythm that keeps work flowing across the portfolio: making sure the right conversations happen at the right time, decisions have a clear place to land, and nothing stalls waiting for a step that never got scheduled.
Protect the time box and help facilitate scope decisions in a fixed-appetite model where each epic gets a set team and a fixed time box, and scope flexes to fit.
Keep the roadmap current and transparent to everyone, and drive the team's cadence against it so what we planned and what we are doing stay connected. Facilitate the planning sessions, not set the priorities.
Surface dependencies early, clear obstacles, and coordinate across our sprint teams so work does not stall at the seams.
Keep the department to its cadence and process, name when things slip, and stay on it until they are resolved. This is accountability to the standard, done with a distributed, autonomous team, without being heavy-handed.
