Product Delivery Manager

Backlog quality: grooming, prioritization hygiene, and ensuring stories are ready as they enter a sprint.

Story decomposition: turning product direction, customer requirements, and feature concepts into well-scoped, build-ready engineering stories with clear acceptance criteria.

Sprint execution: planning, daily flow, dependency tracking, and risk surfacing across concurrent workstreams.

Ambiguity reduction: serving as the first point of contact for developer questions about scope, intent, and edge cases, and closing those loops quickly.

Delivery visibility: maintaining an honest, current picture of what's in flight, what's blocked, and what's at risk, communicated up to leadership without spin.

Process discipline: light-touch but consistent. Just enough rigor to keep the team aligned, never more than the team can absorb.

Developer focus protection: filtering interruptions, batching context switches, and being a reliable buffer between the team and ad hoc requests.

Story readiness measurably improves: stories entering sprints are scoped, understood, and rarely sent back for clarification.

Sprint commitment reliability improves: the team finishes what it commits to, with fewer carryovers and less mid-sprint thrash.

Cycle time on individual stories drops as developers wait less for answers, decisions, and unblocks.

Leadership has a clear, current, trusted view of delivery status.

Engineers report that the process supports them rather than taxing them.

You are most effective in small, capable, high-trust teams where the work is real and the process exists to serve the team, not the other way around. You are comfortable with ambiguity, you don't need every answer before you start moving, and you would rather close ten small loops today than schedule a meeting about them next week.

You take quiet pride in a team that finishes what it starts. You do not confuse activity with progress. You are direct, kind, and credible with engineers.

Work on mission-relevant technology supporting threat detection, intelligence, and operational awareness for organizations protecting people and critical assets.

Join a small, capable engineering organization at an inflection point, where your impact on delivery is direct and visible.

High autonomy, low bureaucracy, and a leadership team that values execution over theater.

Competitive compensation and benefits commensurate with experience.

If you are energized by the idea of making a strong engineering team materially faster, and you'd rather be measured on what the team ships than on how many ceremonies you ran, we'd like to talk to you.
