  • Serve as the primary point of contact for software delivery issues, status, risks, and escalations
  • Coordinate across teams to identify gaps, resolve blockers, and maintain alignment on build progress and release readiness
  • Support issue tracking, status reporting, and milestone reviews with clear, accurate communication to stakeholders and leadership
  • Maintain delivery plans, schedules, and documentation to support execution, traceability, and follow-through
  • Partner with SWILs and other technical leads to troubleshoot delivery and integration issues as needed
  • Drive strong execution discipline across multiple parallel builds in a fast-paced environment

  • Experience working across cross-functional teams in software delivery, integration, or automotive development environments
  • Familiarity with software build processes, release workflows, integration frameworks, and version control systems such as Git or SVN
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to track multiple moving pieces across programs, builds, and delivery events
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to provide clear status, drive closure, and escalate effectively
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong ownership mindset and follow-through to ensure commitments are completed with quality and on time


What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)
