About the Role

The Manager, Delivery Lead is accountable for coordinating and enabling predictable delivery of outcomes within a pod or defined initiative workstream. The role focuses on the "how" of execution-turning priorities into clear delivery plans, maintaining delivery rhythm, and providing transparent tracking and communication so teams and stakeholders can make timely decisions. This is an influence-based, delivery-accountable role.

Key Responsibilities

• Support end-to-end delivery execution for a pod or defined workstream, translating commitments into clear sprint/release plans, milestones, and checkpoints.
• Facilitate delivery cadence and discipline (planning, reviews, retrospectives, stand-ups as needed), ensuring transparency and consistent follow-through.
• Track delivery progress and health (milestones, risks, dependencies, blockers) and escalate early with clear options when scope, timing, or quality are at risk.
• Coordinate dependencies across pod roles and adjacent teams to reduce delays and rework; support timely issue resolution through collaboration.
• Support operational readiness by ensuring delivery includes appropriate testing, release planning, and transition considerations.
• Partner with the Pod Owner to provide reliable delivery visibility for stakeholders (status, risks, decisions required).
• Contribute to a collaborative, learning-oriented delivery culture aligned with ways of working and IGM values.
• Participate in relevant chapter activities by sharing lessons learned and adopting common delivery standards, tools, and templates.

Qualifications & Experience

Required

• Bachelor's degree in a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5-7 years of experience in technology delivery or comparable execution roles.
• Agile/lean delivery knowledge (planning cadence, ceremonies, and iterative delivery).
• Delivery coordination skills (planning, tracking, milestone management, and reporting).
• Dependency and issue management through collaboration and timely escalation.

Preferred

• Experience within the financial services industry, including banking, wealth management, insurance, or asset management environments.
• Experience working with or supporting delivery involving:
• Salesforce
• SAP Data Platform (including SAP data management and analytics capabilities)
• Salesforce Marketing Cloud
• Experience working in a product operating model or pod-based delivery environment.
• Proven success working with geographically dispersed and cross-functional teams, coordinating across multiple regions and time zones.
• Agile certification (e.g., Certified ScrumMaster (CSM), or PSM) is considered an asset

The expected annual base salary range for this role is $105,000 - $120,000, which is determined based on skills, knowledge and experience and geographic location. In addition to base salary, this role is eligible for annual short-term incentive, health and well-being benefits, retirement and savings plan, paid time off and career development.
