Product / Delivery Manager

Sourceability•Austin, TX

About The Position

Sourceability is building a new Global Engineering Organization (GEO) to strengthen internal software delivery, improve production ownership, and build long-term engineering capability inside the company. We are looking for a Product / Delivery Manager to act as the main bridge between business stakeholders and GEO software engineering teams. This role will be responsible for managing business intake, clarifying scope, preparing engineering-ready backlog items, coordinating delivery, supporting UAT, and making sure stakeholders have clear visibility into delivery status, risks, and tradeoffs. This is not a people management role over engineers. Engineering managers will own people management, capacity, hiring, performance, and engineering standards. Team Leads / Architects will own technical design, architecture, code quality, and technical execution. The Product / Delivery Manager will own the business-to-engineering interface, backlog readiness, priority alignment, delivery coordination, user acceptance, and stakeholder communication. The right candidate should be comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where business needs are urgent, systems are complex, and engineering ownership boundaries are still being formalized.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in product management, product ownership, delivery management, business systems delivery, or similar roles.
Experience working with internal software platforms, enterprise applications, ERP systems, warehouse systems, operations systems, or B2B transaction platforms.
Strong ability to translate business problems into clear requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and delivery priorities.
Experience managing software backlogs and coordinating delivery with engineering, QA, DevOps, and business stakeholders.
Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle, including requirements, design, development, testing, UAT, release, and post-release support.
Practical experience working with Agile / Scrum / Kanban or similar delivery approaches.
Experience using Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar tools for backlog management, delivery tracking, documentation, and reporting.
Ability to manage competing priorities, ambiguous requirements, urgent stakeholder requests, and changing business needs.
Strong communication skills with the ability to explain delivery status, scope, tradeoffs, risks, and dependencies to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Ability to work with senior stakeholders while still staying close to daily delivery details.
Strong ownership mindset, structured thinking, and practical problem-solving skills.
Ability to build process discipline without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.

Nice To Haves

Experience with software platforms used in supply chain, distribution, logistics, manufacturing, e-commerce, or electronic components industries.
Experience supporting internal business platforms used by sales, purchasing, warehouse, finance, operations, or customer service teams.
Experience with .NET / SQL Server-based enterprise systems or similar business-critical platforms.
Familiarity with mobile applications, warehouse workflows, computer vision, NLP, AI / ML use cases, or data-driven internal tools.
Experience coordinating delivery across globally distributed teams.
Experience working with business analysts, technical product owners, architects, QA leads, DevOps engineers, DBAs, and infrastructure teams.
Understanding of production support, defect triage, release readiness, and incident follow-up processes.
Experience improving backlog quality, acceptance criteria, UAT discipline, and stakeholder communication in an organization where process maturity is still developing.

Responsibilities

Act as the primary interface between business stakeholders, business analysts, users, and GEO engineering teams.
Collect, clarify, and organize business requests before they reach engineering teams.
Convert business needs into clear, engineering-ready backlog items with scope, acceptance criteria, priority, dependencies, and expected outcomes.
Protect engineering teams from unmanaged direct requests, unclear requirements, and shifting priorities.
Partner with Engineering Managers to align delivery plans with available engineering capacity.
Partner with Team Leads / Architects to confirm technical feasibility, dependencies, risks, and sequencing.
Maintain and prioritize product / delivery backlogs for assigned systems or product groups.
Coordinate delivery planning, sprint / iteration planning, release scope, and milestone tracking.
Facilitate communication between engineering teams, business stakeholders, QA, DevOps, DBA, Infrastructure, and other internal groups.
Coordinate UAT planning, user validation, acceptance criteria review, feedback collection, and release readiness.
Track delivery risks, scope changes, blockers, dependencies, and decisions that may affect timelines or business outcomes.
Communicate delivery status, risks, tradeoffs, and changes clearly to stakeholders and GEO leadership.
Help define release notes, user-facing communication, rollout plans, and post-release feedback loops.
Ensure that production issues, defects, enhancement requests, and technical debt items are captured, prioritized, and routed correctly.
Support incident follow-up by helping translate business impact into clear backlog items, corrective actions, or improvement requests.
Maintain practical documentation for product decisions, requirements, acceptance criteria, process flows, and stakeholder agreements.
