Job details

Lead the end-to-end planning and delivery of a complex DevOps initiative, from mobilization and scope definition through implementation, rollout, stabilization, and handoff. Create and maintain an integrated delivery plan covering squad deliverables, cross-team dependencies, milestones, environments, testing, approvals, communications, rollout activities, and operational readiness. Coordinate delivery across one or more DevOps squads and the infrastructure, cloud, security, ServiceNow, application, data, platform, quality-engineering, and support teams required to complete the work. Work closely with Product Owners, Technical Leads, architects, engineers, Quality Engineers, security partners, and business or technology stakeholders to clarify outcomes, responsibilities, sequencing, and acceptance criteria. Establish clear governance, meeting cadence, decision paths, delivery controls, and escalation mechanisms appropriate to the initiative. Manage scope, schedule, resources, risks, issues, assumptions, dependencies, decisions, and changes, ensuring that ownership and target dates remain explicit. Drive action closure and proactively resolve delivery gaps, conflicting priorities, resource constraints, access or environment blockers, data-quality concerns, and integration dependencies. Coordinate test planning, user acceptance, production-readiness reviews, implementation activities, post-implementation validation, and evidence or sign-off requirements. Prepare concise, decision-focused status reporting for program and DevOps leadership, including accomplishments, upcoming milestones, forecast, dependencies, risks, issues, decisions required, and recovery actions. Coordinate stakeholder communications, readiness activities, demonstrations, information sessions, support planning, and adoption activities where required. Ensure deliverables, processes, decisions, and operational ownership are documented and transitioned to the appropriate teams. Apply lessons learned and continuous-improvement practices to strengthen delivery predictability and reduce manual effort or recurring operational risk. What you need to succeed Strong project-management experience delivering complex technology initiatives involving multiple squads, platforms, and enterprise partner teams. Demonstrated experience working on DevOps, software-delivery, developer-platform, CI/CD, security-control, source-code-management, or engineering-enablement initiatives. Practical understanding of the software delivery lifecycle and the relationship between source repositories, build pipelines, security scanning, deployment orchestration, environments, approvals, and production support. Ability to build integrated plans, identify the true critical path, manage interdependent deliverables, and hold multiple teams accountable for commitments. Excellent risk, issue, dependency, change, and stakeholder management, with sound judgment about when to resolve, escalate, or seek a decision. Confidence working with senior leaders and technical specialists, with the ability to translate technical delivery detail into clear business impact and decision points. Excellent facilitation, written communication, executive reporting, organization, and follow-through. Ability to operate effectively in a matrixed environment where delivery depends on teams that may not report directly to the Project Manager. Self-directed, pragmatic, outcome-focused, and comfortable bringing structure to ambiguous or evolving work. Required Experience Experience with standard DevOps tools, practices, and the Enterprise Pipeline is strongly preferred. Working knowledge of tools or platforms such as Bitbucket or GitHub, Jenkins, CDD, Jira, Confluence, ServiceNow, Checkmarx One, Snyk, Kosli, Grafana, Tableau, cloud platforms, and infrastructure or deployment technologies. Experience coordinating security-control implementation, vulnerability-management workflows, exception processes, compliance evidence, release gating, or production-readiness activities. Experience with application inventories, application portfolio identifiers, repository metadata, data reconciliation, database updates, dashboards, ETL processes, or data-quality remediation. Experience supporting releases across Dev, Stage, and Production environments and coordinating technical testing, business validation, implementation, and post-implementation verification. Experience with Jira and/or Planview AgilePlace. Project-management certification or formal Agile delivery training is an asset, but demonstrated delivery experience is more important than certification alone.
