Requirements

• 6–9 years of project management or technical program management experience

• Proven track record managing software engineering teams or delivery programs

• Strong experience working in distributed, US-India timezone environments

• Deep familiarity with Agile/Scrum — sprint management, release cycles, retrospectives

• Proficiency with Jira and Confluence for project tracking and documentation

• Excellent written and verbal English communication — this role requires clear, concise async comms

• Technical judgment to assess PRD readiness for development, evaluate test coverage and release safety, and make informed rollback or hold decisions based on engineer input

• Background in software engineering or a technical role — engineering empathy is critical

• Experience in a startup or high-growth environment with lean processes

• Familiarity with SaaS products, data platforms, or analytics tooling

• Experience coordinating with engineering teams across multiple time zones

Responsibilities

• Own the release lifecycle for India-based engineering efforts — from sprint planning through deployment

• Partner with QA on release readiness gates — exercising technical judgment to evaluate whether bug fixes are safe to release, test coverage is sufficient, and rollback is warranted when needed

• Track and communicate delivery status, blockers, and risks proactively to US leadership

• Maintain release documentation and ensure Jira and Confluence are accurate and up to date

• Facilitate daily standups, sprint ceremonies, and retrospectives for India-side engineers

• Monitor sprint health — open ticket counts, assignments, unresolved blockers — and drive resolution

• Coordinate with tech leads to ensure work is well-scoped and progressing across workstreams

• Serve as a bridge between US-based leadership and India-based engineers for day-to-day execution

• Drive engineering process improvements — ticket hygiene, on-call handoffs, SLA adherence

• Own the India site's contribution to cross-team Agile ceremonies and sprint reporting

• Identify process gaps and propose actionable improvements without waiting to be asked

• Collaborate with QA, product, and engineering stakeholders to align priorities and dependencies

• Partner with product managers to evaluate and gate unplanned work requests, protecting sprint commitments and engineering focus from scope creep and ad-hoc interrupts
