About the role
- You need technical credibility - Pure engineering.
- You're not writing runbooks or going on-call - Order-taker.
Responsibilities
- Drive execution across engineering programs, including releases, cross-functional initiatives, and the communications and coordination infrastructure that keeps a scaling org aligned.
- Process design that gets teams aligned without adding bureaucracy. Lightweight, followed, and retired when no longer useful
- identify what should be automated, partner with engineers to implement, and use AI for status tracking, documentation, and dependency analysis
Nice to have
- Track record running multi-team SaaS releases and broader engineering programs with complex dependencies
- Technical depth to distinguish realistic from fantasy (networking or infrastructure background a plus)
- Translates fluently between technical teams and business stakeholders
- Knows when to push back on scope or timeline vs. when to escalate
- Comfortable being the person who asks "are we still on track?" repeatedly, and the one who reframes the question when the answer keeps being "yes" but the evidence says otherwise
