Delivery Lead

What you’ll do:

The Delivery Lead is a combination role of Project Manager and Business Analyst with the goal of successfully delivering technology or business solutions to We Write Code clients. This role ensures our projects are delivered on time, within scope and budget, and aligned with quality standards. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, manage project risks, and communicate effectively with clients, stakeholders and internal teams. Additionally, the Delivery Lead will serve as the bridge between business challenges and software solutions by collaborating with stakeholders to analyze processes, gather requirements, and guide development teams through the software development lifecycle. To thrive in this nimble ecosystem, you know how to pragmatically leverage AI tools to supercharge your workflow—accelerating documentation, identifying blind spots in project scopes, and freeing up your time to focus on delivering.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Define scope, set timelines, allocate resources, and develop detailed execution plans.
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams and ensure alignment with project goals.
  • Monitor costs, manage budgets, and optimize resource utilization.
  • Identify potential risks, resolve issues proactively, and maintain project health.
  • Provide regular updates, manage expectations, and facilitate decision-making.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to gather business needs, translate them into software requirements, and bridge communication between business units and software development teams.
  • Pragmatically utilize AI tools to expedite administrative and analytical tasks, such as generating initial drafts of user stories, synthesizing meeting transcripts, or modeling project risks.
  • Document functional specifications and user stories, support test planning, and lead user acceptance testing to ensure solutions meet business objectives.
  • Schedule and lead project meetings with stakeholders and internal team.

Are you tired of working on the same application day in and day out? Are you someone who takes pride in driving successful project outcomes? Are you excited to take on dynamic projects that help you evolve as a delivery leader? Perfect.

  • Proficiency with Jira and Trello, Asana, Monday.com, Confluence or ClickUp.
  • Previous Scrum Master experience a huge plus.
