- Ensure effective handovers between product, engineering, and operations
- Monitor delivery risks and dependencies across technical workstreams
- Continuously improve delivery processes within a fast-moving technical environment
OUR REQUIRED EXPERTISE
- 2+ years' experience in a Technical PM, Delivery, or BA role within a software engineering environment
- Proven experience working directly with engineering teams (not just coordination)
