Delivery Product Manager

Mechanical Orchard builds Imogen

a modernization platform for rewriting the most critical and complex business applications—the systems that quietly run the world as we know it—so they can continue operating reliably while adapting to new challenges and opportunities. These are business-critical systems where reliability, safety, and correctness are paramount.

Delivery teams work directly with customers and system integration partners in real production environments to modernize mainframe systems using Imogen. This work delivers customer outcomes while also shaping how the platform evolves, ensuring Imogen is grounded in real-world constraints, risks, and opportunities.

Our Delivery team operates in complex, ambiguous environments with high stakes. We balance long-term modernization outcomes with incremental, production-ready delivery; validate functional equivalence, performance, and operational readiness; and work closely with partners to enable durable handoff and long-term ownership. We value strong fundamentals, pragmatic use of AI, and close collaboration across roles and organizations. Our values are simple:
Do the right thing. Do what works. Be kind.

Delivery teams use Imogen to deliver high-stakes modernization projects with customers and partners. As a Delivery Product Manager, you provide clarity and focus in deeply technical, ambiguous environments—balancing long-term strategy with the realities of delivery, risk, and learning.

You work closely with Delivery Leads, engineers, Account Executives, client stakeholders, partners, and internal platform teams to ensure effort is focused on the highest-leverage outcomes. As Imogen adoption grows and our partner ecosystem matures, success in this role increasingly centers on maximizing value delivered through the Imogen platform, enabling effective partner-led execution, and ensuring Delivery effort is focused where it creates the most leverage.

People in this role will have a high degree of autonomy and responsibility, with frequent client-facing communication and interaction with all levels of leadership.

• Work with Imogen to modernize production legacy systems in collaboration with customers and partners
• Own and manage backlogs for highly technical modernization efforts, including acceptance criteria and testing approaches
• Balance long-term success with incremental progress through learning, risk mitigation, and iterative delivery
• Provide clarity on tradeoffs between customer needs, team capacity, technical constraints, performance, and security
• Facilitate effective decision-making across engineering, product, platform, and partner teams
• Communicate clearly with internal leadership and client stakeholders on progress, risks, and milestones
• Establish and maintain strong customer and partner relationships with alignment on priorities and outcomes
• Shape delivery scope, sequencing, and success criteria to maximize long-term leverage through partner enablement and partner-led execution
• Define and evolve Imogen usage patterns and delivery approaches that enable partners to deliver effectively with decreasing MO involvement over time
• Serve as a bridge between Delivery and R&D by gathering requirements and driving priority alignment

• This role is client-facing and partner-facing; communication, facilitation and collaboration are core parts of the work
• This role includes regular domestic travel to client sites, up to approximately twice per month, to support delivery, alignment, and key milestones.
• Much of the work involves legacy mainframe systems (e.g., COBOL, JCL)
• PMs sometimes help manage on-call escalation and delivery coordination
• Collaboration across time zones is part of the role, particularly with partners based in the US and India

• The ideal candidate brings experience working in client-facing, delivery-oriented environments and is motivated by owning outcomes in complex, technical contexts. They are comfortable partnering closely with customers, SI partners, and…
