Role Overview
We are looking for a Delivery Lead to drive the successful delivery of projects across one or more client accounts. You will work closely with cross-functional teams—including engineering, QA, product, and business stakeholders—to ensure timely, high-quality, and value-driven outcomes.
This role requires a balance of technical understanding, people leadership, stakeholder management, and a solid grasp of Agile delivery practices.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end delivery of software projects, ensuring quality, timeliness, and client satisfaction.
- Work with engineering and product teams to plan, scope, estimate, and schedule work effectively.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for clients—handling expectations, reporting status, and managing escalations.
- Drive Agile ceremonies (stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives, demos) and ensure transparency in progress.
- Mitigate delivery risks and proactively remove blockers for the team.
- Mentor and coach team members to support professional growth and delivery maturity.
- Collaborate with leadership on resource planning, process improvements, and engagement success.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in software delivery, with at least 3 years in a Delivery Manager/Lead or Project Manager role.
- Proven experience in Agile delivery across distributed, cross-functional teams.
- Strong communication skills and ability to manage senior stakeholders and clients.
- Good technical understanding (you don’t need to code, but you should understand how modern software gets built).
- Ability to balance scope, timelines, and quality while navigating changing requirements.
- Hands-on experience with tools like JIRA, Confluence, Git, Slack, Notion, etc.
- Strong leadership, people management, and problem-solving abilities.
Nice to Have
- Experience in consulting or client-facing environments.
- Exposure to DevOps, CI/CD, and modern software development pipelines.
- Prior experience working with startups or early-stage products.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
Why Join Atomise?
- A culture of transparency, collaboration, and autonomy.
- Opportunity to work closely with the leadership team.
- High-impact role with ownership and decision-making authority.
- Clear path to full-time employment based on performance.
Engagement Terms
- Initial contract for 6 months.
- If the collaboration is successful, transition to full-time employment.
- Competitive compensation (to be discussed based on experience).
