Job Title: Technical Program / Delivery Leader Location: REMOTE
JOB SUMMARY:
The Technical Program / Delivery Leader (TPL) is the accountable technical delivery lead for a designated application team. TPL combines senior-level business systems analysis with hands-on delivery coordination to translate priorities into executable plans and ensure engineering, architecture, environment, security, and operational activities are aligned to deliver high-quality outcomes. The TPL works closely with leadership to provide transparent status, drive decisions and approvals, coordinate priorities, and ensure required software/hardware/tooling needs are defined early so they can be procured through channels. This role leads through influence, not direct people management.
REQUIRED SKILLS:
10+ years in technology delivery roles (e.g., Technical Delivery Lead, Technical Project Lead, Technical Program Coordinator/Lead, or similar).
Proven ability to lead through influence and coordinate cross-functional work across engineering, architecture, infrastructure/environments, security, and operations.
Strong requirements-to-delivery capability: translating complex needs into epics/features/stories and into executable plans with measurable outcomes.
Practical understanding of AI/ML concepts and governance, with experience using approved AI-enabled tools/approaches to improve requirements, analysis, estimation, reporting, defect/incident triage, and overall delivery execution.
Strong delivery discipline: planning, scope control, dependency management, risk/issue management, and proactive escalation.
Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams through change (without direct authority), adopt/improve delivery methodologies (Agile/DevSecOps), and drive measurable improvements using delivery/operational metrics.
Technical fluency across SDLC and modern delivery practices (APIs/integrations, environments, DevSecOps concepts, logging/monitoring, and incident response); not required to code, but must engage effectively with technical teams.
Strong executive communication: ability to present status, tradeoffs, and recommendations and drive timely decisions.
Experience with work management and ITSM tools (e.g., VersionOne/Jira/Azure DevOps; ServiceNow or equivalent) and producing delivery artifacts (status, RAID logs, milestones, ROMs).
Preferred:
Scrum certification (e.g., CSM, PSM) and/or scaled Agile experience (e.g., SAFe).
Experience supporting production releases and incident response in high-availability environments.
Experience incorporating security, privacy, and performance requirements into delivery artifacts.
Experience measuring and reducing costs (cloud consumption, tooling/supplier spend, operational effort) by identifying cost drivers, optimizing services, and automating repeatable work while maintaining service levels.
Additional Required Skills/Experience:
o Over Ten (10) years of relevant experience.
o A degree from an accredited College/University in the applicable field of services is required. If the individual's degree is not in the applicable field then four additional years of related experience is required.
