Senior Manager, Engineering & Product Delivery
Job Summary:
The Senior Manager, Engineering & Product Delivery is the execution leader responsible for turning business requirements into shipped software. This role owns requirement intake and Jira backlog management all of the way through to sprint execution, QA acceptance, and production release.
