Delivery Manager - Backstage Team

Nofence is a Norwegian scale up who has built the world’s first virtual fencing solution for livestock. As we aim to revolutionize livestock management and build a scalable organization, we are looking for a Delivery Manager for our Backstage team.

The team

We're founding a new enablement team called Backstage: full-stack and firmware/data developers plus a quality engineer, led by an engineering manager. Our mission is to raise the capabilities of the teams around us, which brings a steady stream of inbound requests and dependencies.

The role

You are the engine of the team. You drive the work from inbound request to finished engagement, set priorities, push deadlines, and know at any point what is in flight, what is blocked, and when things will land. You and the Engineering Manager lead the team as peers with a clean split: the EM owns people and technical direction, you own priorities and delivery.

You will:

• Turn problems into solutions by working with departments and engineers to shape workable solutions.
• Organize work for throughput and focus by triaging inbound requests and sequencing work for the best of the company.
• Run engagements by setting goals, time boxes, and end states.
• Keep work flowing by removing blockers and managing cross-team dependencies.
• Facilitate grooming and estimation to ensure work is understood and sized.
• Improve processes through retrospectives and data-driven planning.
