About The Position

At the heart of our mission is a simple belief: complex software development should be predictable, transparent, and efficient. We are seeking a Director of Agile Delivery Management to be the architect of that operational excellence. In this role, you will bridge the gap between high-level strategic vision and the tactical, everyday execution of our product teams. You will lead, mentor, and inspire a multidisciplinary team of program managers and agile practitioners, serving as the connective tissue across the organization to ensure every release delivers business value with speed and precision. If you are a rigorous leader who can balance the discipline of Agile frameworks with the flexibility required in a high-growth SaaS environment, we’ve built a seat at the table just for you.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in Program Management, Engineering Operations, or Agile Delivery, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role scaling high-performance SaaS delivery teams.
• A track record of successful product delivery where you led the journey from abstract roadmap to high-impact, market-ready releases.
• Deep expertise in Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe (or similar scaling frameworks), alongside a strong understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
• Proficiency in leveraging quantitative data (velocity, burn-down, throughput) to drive high-conviction delivery decisions.
• The ability to navigate organizational complexity and communicate the business value of operational excellence to C-suite stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Business, or a related field required; Master’s degree preferred.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in Product-Led Growth (PLG) environments.
• Familiarity with modern delivery and management platforms (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana, Monday.com).
• Experience in Lean or Six Sigma methodologies.
• Background in enterprise SaaS or complex, workflow-based data products.
• Experience scaling global delivery teams across multiple time zones and product lines.

Responsibilities

• Define and evangelize an enterprise-wide Agile framework that aligns with our long-term company goals and sets a new standard for our vast portfolio of products.
• Recruit, mentor, and scale a high-performing team of Program Managers, fostering a culture of radical transparency, relentless improvement, and operational discipline.
• Direct the optimization of our delivery rituals (Scrum, Kanban, PI Planning), ensuring seamless flow from discovery to deployment through mature, data-driven methodology.
• Drive a continuous improvement culture through postmortems, retrospectives and accountable action tracking.
• Lead cross-functional coordination to uncover dependencies, manage risks, and ensure predictable release cycles across complex, interconnected product lines.
• Spearhead a culture of data-informed execution, utilizing velocity metrics, cycle time analysis, and flow efficiency to optimize delivery performance and business outcomes.
• Integrate cutting-edge tools into our delivery lifecycle to automate reporting, identify bottlenecks, and enhance forecasting accuracy.
• Work in lockstep with Product Management and Engineering leadership to balance speed-to-market with technical debt management and operational ROI.
