You will define, document, standardize, and promote best‑practice delivery methods that enable predictable outcomes, sustainable delivery speed, and high quality.

You ensure consistent application of delivery practices across teams, improving transparency, alignment, and governance without compromising local ownership. You will also translate these practices into our tooling ecosystem (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow) to enhance flow efficiency and data‑driven follow‑up.

You will establish structured capacity and resource‑planning practices to support better prioritization and delivery predictability. Using delivery performance metrics, you will lead continuous improvement and drive measurable practice enhancements.

You are comfortable working with delivery metrics, translating data into meaningful insights, and turning them into actionable improvements. You have a demonstrated ability to drive change in federated or matrix organizations, influencing across functions without formal authority.

A continuous improvement mindset, strong analytical abilities, and experience working in cross‑functional, process‑based setups are essential. Typically, you have several years of experience in delivery leadership, program management, or transformation roles.
