Project Description
The Azure IoT Platform is a critical foundation for multiple digital products with cloud connectivity, realtime telemetry processing, device integration, data harmonization, and backend services. Delivery has become increasingly complex due to cross-team dependencies, parallel priorities, resource constraints, and the need to coordinate platform changes across Cloud Core, Cloud Fast Track, TDC-integrations, and realtime processing.
We are seeking an experienced Delivery Manager / Technical Program Manager who strengthens end-to-end delivery management across Azure IoT Platform workstreams. The role orchestrates initiatives across teams, dependencies, releases, and risks – but does not replace Product Owners, Engineering Leads, Architects, DevOps, or QA.
Tasks
- Integrated Delivery Management: Establish a delivery plan across all workstreams; track milestones, dependencies, blockers, risks, and release commitments; ensure transparency; identify critical-path items and delivery risks early.
- Cross-Team Coordination: Coordinate dependencies between teams; ensure clear accountability; regular alignment on key initiatives; improve handovers.
- Release & Readiness Management: Integrated release planning for platform changes; track scope, test, and deployment status; prepare release-readiness reviews; communicate late changes and risks; post-release follow-up.
- Quality & Risk Management: Ensure quality requirements in delivery planning; track integration, regression, smoke, and performance tests; surface missing test coverage and production risks; maintain RAID log (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Decisions).
- Stakeholder Communication: Clear, fact-based delivery status updates; translate technical risks into business and operational impact; establish single source of truth; weekly management-ready reports.
- Operating Model Improvement: Identify recurring delivery challenges; define lightweight governance models; improve delivery meetings and escalation paths; establish templates.
Scope of Work
The Delivery Manager supports delivery across Cloud Core, Cloud Fast Track, TDC-integrations, backend services, realtime telemetry processing, stream processing, event-driven components, data persistence changes, device-to-cloud integration, release coordination, and cross-component quality. Scope includes planned roadmap items and unplanned topics such as operational issues, business requirements, technical debt, quality gaps, and release risks.
