The Sr. Manager, Software Delivery & Operations serves as the operational backbone of our software engineering and product organization. Reporting directly to the VP Services and Software Product and working closely with the VP of Cloud Engineering and the Director of App Development, this role ensures that our ~50-person engineering organization plans, builds, and ships software with consistency, visibility, and discipline.

In this role, you will lead and oversee a portfolio of 15+ concurrent software projects, with a strong emphasis on operational excellence, data-driven decision-making, and continuous improvement.

This is a high-trust, high-visibility role for someone who thrives at the intersection of process, people, and delivery – someone who can see across teams, connect the dots, and remove friction before it becomes a problem.
