About the role

As our Delivery Manager, you will be the operational backbone of Scrambly’s product and engineering organization. You will work closely with the CTO, engineering leads, product, QA, and design teams to ensure that all initiatives — from core features to experiments — move from idea to production efficiently and with high quality. This is not a pure Scrum Master role. It is a high-impact, execution-focused position for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys building structure, removing chaos, and ensuring that both delivery execution and feature readiness run smoothly and effectively. You will define and run processes, coordinate releases, lead estimation and planning, ensure documentation hygiene, and help maintain smooth operational execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Execution & Delivery Management: Drive end-to-end delivery across technical and design teams by leading Agile ceremonies (planning, grooming, stand-ups). Ensure accurate estimations, mitigate risks, remove blockers, and maintain predictable release schedules while balancing urgent business priorities.
• Operational Excellence: Build and optimize delivery workflows, maintaining a structured backlog with clear requirements and acceptance criteria. Drive continuous improvement through streamlined cross-team handoffs and post-release retrospectives.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Facilitate alignment between product priorities, engineering capacity, and design/QA readiness. Manage feature decomposition, backlog hygiene, and daily operational tasks to ensure teams have the necessary context and assets on time.
• Team Support & Structure: Foster a culture of accountability and transparency. Optimize execution rhythm by identifying bottlenecks, resolving inefficiencies, and supporting new hire onboarding through clear structural documentation.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in Delivery Management, Project Management, Product Operations, or a similar role in a fast-paced tech environment
• Strong understanding of software development processes across backend, frontend, and mobile
• Hands-on experience running sprints, planning releases, managing estimations, and coordinating cross-functional teams
• Strong ability to create structure, improve processes, and drive operational excellence
• Excellent organizational and communication skills — able to create clarity for others and manage multiple parallel streams of work
• Highly operational mindset — you thrive on execution, structure, and efficiency
• Ability to work closely with engineering leads, product teams, designers, and executives
• Experience in startups or high-velocity environments strongly preferred
• Proficiency with project management tools (e.g., ClickUp, Jira, Notion, Linear, or similar)
• Strong English communication skills (B2+); ability to work in multicultural teams
