Responsibilities

Direct and oversee the daily activities of both internal and external teams, ensuring that developers meet deadlines, objectives, and quality standards. Act as the primary point of contact for resolving roadblocks and maintaining high performance across disciplines.

Drive how internal and external teams operate by designing, building out, and executing processes (or removing as necessary) to meet both short- and long-term development objectives. This could range from designing a ritual calendar, to building out workflows in Jira, to running daily standup. Be able to do this throughout the lifecycle of a project from concept to live service.

Translate business goals into clear operational and action plans to drive alignment across all teams.

Partner closely with the leadership team to provide clear updates on project status, risks, and deliverables. Ensure effective communication across internal and external teams to maintain alignment on goals and objectives, while managing stakeholder expectations.

Own the communication of project status by tracking goals, challenges, and progress. Proactively identify and manage risks by developing and executing mitigation strategies that ensure successful project outcomes.

Track team capacity and velocity, assess future hiring needs, and identify organizational changes and risks. Provide detailed reports to leadership to support resource planning and strategic decision-making. Proactively work to improve team velocity, capacity, and efficiency to drive high-quality outcomes.

Identify major gaps and challenges in workflows, implementing process and workflow improvements to enhance efficiency. Execute change management initiatives and introduce new rituals to support continuous improvement.
