• Support and optimize the current Agile delivery model, including sprint health, dependency tracking, and cross-team coordination
• Facilitate lightweight sprint synchronization when initiatives span multiple pods
• Own a unified view of engineering initiatives, sequencing, and delivery confidence across teams
• Surface cross-team risks early and drive mitigation before they impact customers
• Establish production readiness standards and ensure disciplined release practices across environments
• Own lifecycle governance of feature flags and exposure states as we evolve toward continuous delivery
• Partner with Engineering Managers to improve SDLC maturity and delivery predictability
• Design mechanisms that gradually reduce ceremony while increasing clarity and accountability
• Support the transition from release-train style governance to AI-PDLC exposure discipline
• Improve delivery metrics focused on predictability, risk reduction, and operational resilience

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in engineering program management, technical program management, or delivery leadership in SaaS or platform environments
• Strong experience operating within Agile frameworks and coordinating multi-team initiatives
• Demonstrated ability to evolve delivery systems without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy
• Comfortable operating in AI-driven or technically complex environments
• Strong systems thinking, operational rigor, and executive communication skills
