About this role

We are looking for an IT Delivery lead who wants to shape how engineering delivers at scale and turn complexity into stronger teams, clearer ownership, and better business outcomes.

Mission

As IT Delivery lead, you will strengthen Engineering Managers, shape technical direction with Product and Architecture, and build the conditions for faster, safer, and more predictable delivery across your area.

What will you do

Organizational structure & scaling

Shape and evolve the engineering organization across multiple teams, products, or domains so ownership is clear, coordination is simpler, and delivery scales effectivelyRemove structural bottlenecks, duplicated responsibilities, and dependency-heavy ways of working that slow teams downBuild an operating model with clear decision rights, stronger autonomy, and end-to-end ownershipCoach and grow Engineering Managers so they can lead with greater scope, judgment, and impactStrategic technical direction & architecture

Help shape technical direction together with Product, Architecture, and business stakeholdersInfluence major technical trade-off decisions to improve scalability, resilience, security, maintainability, and time to marketChallenge over-complex solutions, unnecessary customization, and architecture choices that create permanent dependenciesDrive modernization and simplification where legacy constraints limit delivery speed, automation, or service stabilityEngineering leadership & capability building

Strengthen engineering leadership capability across Engineering Managers, senior technical leaders, and key expertsRaise engineering maturity through coaching, standards, communities of practice, and targeted capability developmentEstablish and reinforce expectations for CI/CD, automated testing, observability, code quality, security, and operational readinessSupport adoption of AI-assisted engineering and productivity tools where they improve quality, speed, and efficiencyDelivery & operational excellence at scale

Improve delivery predictability across multiple workstreams, products, or domainsPartner across roles to manage major dependencies, risks, and delivery constraints early and transparentlyStrengthen release reliability, production stability, and the ability of teams to build and run services wellDrive improvements in engineering operations, incident prevention, technical debt reduction, and post-incident learningQuality, security & reliability

Set clear expectations for engineering quality, secure-by-design delivery, and resilient operationsEnsure teams build with strong automated test coverage, observability, performance monitoring, and operational readiness in mindReduce rework, defect leakage, change failure rate, and recurring incidents through stronger engineering practicesEmbed security, privacy, compliance, and accessibility into the way teams work rather than treating them as late-stage checksCross-functional & executive alignment

Translate business priorities into sustainable engineering plans and realistic delivery commitmentsCommunicate technical risks, trade-offs, and investment needs clearly to senior stakeholdersRepresent engineering in strategic planning and broader transformation discussionsEscalate systemic blockers that cannot be solved at team or domain levelEngineering metrics & continuous improvement

Use engineering metrics such as cycle time, release frequency, change failure rate, defect leakage, recurring incidents, and technical debt to expose constraints and guide decisionsReview trends over time rather than reacting to isolated data pointsDrive practical improvement experiments and help teams reuse what worksReduce manual reporting, non-value coordination, and avoidable governance overheadTechnology & product accountability

Own technology accountability across your scope so technical decisions support customer value, business impact, and long-term scalabilityHelp ensure product roadmaps include the technical investments needed for sustainable delivery and stable operationsPartner across Product, Architecture, Business, Security, and Operations to turn priorities into scalable, secure, and maintainable solutionsKeep engineering delivery connected to real outcomes, not just execution activityWhat you will own
