[Hiring] Delivery Manager @Factored

Role Description

We are looking for a strategic and results-driven Delivery Manager to lead the planning, execution, and delivery of high-impact, complex projects. You will be responsible for the full project lifecycle, ensuring that technical and business objectives are met while driving high-level strategy and cross-functional alignment. This position is ideal for a seasoned leader who excels at managing ambiguity, mitigating risk, and mentoring teams to deliver excellence at scale.

• Own end-to-end project delivery (from scope definition to final release) ensuring every client project is completed on time, within budget, and at the expected quality bar.
• Define clear, measurable goals and deliverables in collaboration with senior leadership, and remain personally accountable for hitting them.
• Serve as the single go-to person for the client across the full project lifecycle — managing expectations proactively, communicating status and risks with clarity, and ensuring the client's voice is reflected in every key decision.
• Build trust through consistency, transparency, and follow-through.
• Drive delivery using agile principles: planning and facilitating sprints, managing the release calendar, coordinating go/no-go decisions, and adapting plans iteratively based on client feedback and changing requirements.
• Ensure each release is well-scoped, tested, and communicated to all stakeholders.
• Lead engineering teams with a hands-on approach: unblocking impediments in real time, running effective standups and steering meetings, and maintaining high team velocity.
• Proactively identify and resolve conflicts before they escalate into blockers.
• Mediating disagreements with clarity and fairness, and develop robust contingency plans for both technical and operational risks throughout the project lifecycle.
• Develop and actively manage comprehensive project plans — including timelines, and resource allocation — for large-scale initiatives.
• Maintain executive-level visibility through steering committee meetings, surfacing critical risks and recommending strategic pivots when needed.
• Oversee and manage the integration of client requirements into the broader roadmap, ensuring long-term compliance and value delivery without compromising scope or timelines.
• Establish and refine PMO methodologies, agile frameworks, and best practices that raise operational excellence across the organization.
• Analyze project performance data to extract actionable insights on profitability, ROI, and lessons learned, feeding them back into future initiatives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s in Business, Engineering, or a related field; PMP, PRINCE2, or Agile (CSM) certifications are strongly preferred.
• 7–10+ years of experience in project or program management, specifically leading large-scale, cross-functional initiatives in a fast-paced environment.
• Proven track record of managing large scale projects and overseeing the full project lifecycle from inception to transition.
• Deep expertise in project management methodologies, agile methodologies and advanced proficiency with tools like Jira, Asana, or Monday.com.
• Exceptional leadership and negotiation skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders at the C-suite and executive levels.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate complex data into strategic insights and ROI reporting.
• Experience in establishing PMO standards and mentoring junior project staff to improve overall organizational efficiency.
• High degree of emotional intelligence and the ability to maintain composure and clarity in high-pressure, ambiguous situations.
• Professional-level fluency in English with impeccable written and verbal communication skills.

Benefits

• Ownership through equity participation.
• Annual company retreat.
• Education bonus for continuous learning.
• Company-wide winter break.
• Paid time off.
• Optional in-person events and meetups.
• Tailored career roadmaps.
