[Hiring] Delivery Owner @Race Roster

Role Description

As a Delivery Owner on one or more teams, you are accountable for predictable delivery across several ongoing initiatives. You will own delivery sequencing, dependency and flow management, and honest communication of committed versus likely-to-ship outcomes. You work hand-in-hand with Product Managers, as they define customer needs and priorities, while you drive the execution. You will operate in a multi-project environment, balancing competing timelines, dependencies, and capacity.

Success in this role means teams make capacity-honest commitments, surface delivery risk early, and ship with clear visibility, while Product Managers remain accountable for “what and why”. This position requires flexibility as we respond to new business and customer requirements, while being able to quickly adapt to new strategies and priorities as they evolve.

This position is open to internal and external candidates.

Responsibilities

• Delivery predictability & flow (core responsibility)
  • Protect committed-vs-likely clarity.
  • Align sprint and release commitments with team capacity, active work-in-progress (WIP), and known risks.
  • Manage flow and WIP.
  • Update stakeholders and provide clear visibility into core deliverables versus stretch goals well before target release dates.
  • Reduce last-minute scope churn and surprise WIP that undermines predictability.
  • Facilitate for delivery clarity.
  • Guide team planning, stand-ups, and reviews to streamline delivery and clarify priorities.
  • Make delivery-track decisions.
  • Balance delivery sequencing and cross-team dependencies to eliminate execution friction.
  • Align stakeholders on “done.”
• Multi-project coordination & dependencies
  • Coordinate across concurrent projects.
  • Own delivery sequencing and coordination across multiple concurrent projects or workstreams.
  • Produce capacity-honest plans.
  • Participate actively in sprint ceremonies for the projects you support.
  • Balance near-term commitments with delivery direction.
  • Communicate progress, risks, and trade-offs.
  • Surface cross-project dependencies across teams.
• AI adoption & modern delivery practice
  • Use AI routinely in delivery work.
  • Validate AI outputs with judgment.
  • Share practical AI learnings.
• Collaboration & decision-making
  • Work closely with Engineering, QA, and Product Managers.
  • Identify and escalate external dependencies, timeline risks, or scope impacts that fall outside the team's direct domain to Leadership.
  • Champion Delivery Culture & Best Practices.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a Delivery Owner, Scrum Master, Technical Program Manager, Project Manager in Agile delivery, or similar role in an Agile software delivery environment.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating multiple ongoing projects or workstreams simultaneously without losing delivery focus or commitment clarity.
• Demonstrated experience managing dependencies, risks, and delivery plans for a cloud-based product team.
• Active, practical use of AI tools in delivery work.
• Strong facilitation skills.
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Clear written and verbal communication.
• Hands-on experience with Agile delivery (Scrum and/or Kanban).
• Experience with backlog and delivery tools (e.g., Jira or equivalent).

Bonus Education & Experience

• Scrum Master and/or delivery certification (PMP, CSM, PSM, or equivalent).
• Experience facilitating planning and delivery ceremonies across more than one team or initiative.
• Background working with cross-functional teams in a remote or hybrid environment.
• Exposure to scaled Agile practices (SAFe, LeSS, or similar).
• Relevant Industry Experience.
