Job Description

Job Title: Delivery Manager

Position Overview:

The Delivery Manager is accountable for the efficient, on-time, and on-budget delivery of

software changes across all assigned projects. This role collaborates closely with Product

Leadership and Senior Delivery Managers to ensure that all software solutions meet the highest

standards of quality and adhere to the Agile SDLC process outlined by IdeaCrew. The Delivery

Manager will ensure that projects are delivered in line with the expectations of the product

roadmap, which may include a range of initiatives, such as feature projects, operations &

maintenance projects or tasks, product advancements, security maintenance initiatives, and

strategic initiatives of varying size and complexity.

The Delivery Manager oversees day-to-day project operations, including sprint-to-sprint

planning, resource allocation, forecasting, and project updates. At project initiation, the Delivery

Manager leads the kickoff, defining scope, objectives, timelines, and resource requirements in

collaboration with stakeholders. They also facilitate estimation efforts by working with the

technical team to assess the complexity of deliverables, generate time and resource estimates,

and secure approval from Senior Delivery Managers and the VP of Product Delivery.

Once the project is underway, the Delivery Manager ensures proper prioritization of tasks,

manages progress, adjusts forecasts, and communicates updates to both internal teams and

clients. They serve as the primary point of contact for client communications, ensuring updates

are consistent, clear, and timely.

As projects move through the SDLC reaching User Acceptance Testing and Project Closeout,

the Delivery Manager is responsible for owning triage coordination, client communications,

defect resolution, management of change requests and other risks to ensure client approvals

are reached. At which point management of closeout duties, such as readiness reviews, release

management coordination, operations & maintenance handover are expected.

As the leader of the delivery team, the Delivery Manager fosters a collaborative, efficient

environment, ensuring alignment between product, technical, and quality assurance teams.

They ensure that team members are equipped to succeed, resources are allocated effectively,

and goals are communicated clearly to meet project objectives.

deliverables are completed on time, within budget, and according to the agreed-upon

scope. This includes defining priorities, forecasting resource requirements, costs, and

timelines.

IdeaCrew, this means managing the priorities of 5-8 developers and 1-2 quality

assurance resources across projects of varying complexity and potentially multiple

clients concurrently.

Lead and guide cross-functional teams, including developers, quality assurance testers,

and product managers, to ensure clear communication of project goals, priorities, and

updates on project progress. This includes maintaining ticket systems (e.g., ClickUp,

that arise.

Agile Project Management:

Facilitate all Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews,

and retrospectives. Ensure the team stays focused on delivering value while maintaining

velocity. Capture action items, track progress, and drive accountability throughout the

project lifecycle.

Scope and Change Management:

Own the scope of each project, ensuring that all deliverables meet the needs of product

management and clients. Control scope changes resulting from internal or external

requests, and ensure these changes are managed according to established change

management practices. Communicate the financial and resource impacts of scope

changes, ensuring proper alignment between project goals and the total roadmap.

Collaboration with Group Leadership:

Work closely with the Senior Delivery Manager and Product Manager to align project

priorities with business objectives, define MVP scope, and address any product-related

questions. Collaborate to ensure that resources are allocated efficiently, and projects are

well-defined before execution.

Risk Management and Escalation:

Proactively identify potential risks and issues throughout the project lifecycle, including

scope creep, technical challenges, or changes in client priorities. Develop mitigation

strategies and escalate issues when necessary to overcome challenges, maintain

project momentum and meet delivery goals.

Collaborate with the Senior Delivery Manager and VP of Product Delivery to generate

estimates for resource needs, timelines, and budget requirements. Monitor project

budgets and ensure that resources are allocated efficiently, with appropriate forecasting

for future needs.
