As our portfolio Delivery Lead you are responsible for establishing, maintaining, applying and improving the delivery processes for our Engineering releases. To get there you work with ~20 of our Engineering teams as well as our Product Organization to bring clarity, visibility and transparency to processes, deliverables and timelines, and to help us release the full product portfolio of 5 major products successfully.
You will be our first dedicated Delivery Lead as we establish the practice and shift related tasks away from Product Owners and Engineering VPs, which means you will be able to make an impact instantly with lots of room to shape our release practices.
In this position and role, the Delivery Lead is coordinating delivery across multiple product releases that include input from more than twenty product delivery teams. Releases range from incremental to major yearly releases.

*Do I need to meet all the requirements to apply?*
Studies by several different sources have shown that, on average, men will apply for a job if they meet 60% of the application requirements. In contrast, women/non-binary people will seek to match a much higher percentage of the requirements before applying.
We encourage everyone to apply and give us a chance to evaluate your skills and experience. We are all learning on the job, and although the listing above has been carefully compiled, we are also open-minded and interested to hear about the value you can bring to the role and Signavio.
*How can I demonstrate that I have particular needs in the application process?*
For people living with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or neurodiversity, adjustments and support can make a decisive difference in the application process. If you need any specific accommodations (tools, time, etc.) and feel comfortable disclosing this, please let us know.
