Purpose
We are looking for a Delivery Lead to drive reliable, transparent, and continuously improving delivery across Engineering and Technology. Based in Platform Engineering, this role owns the cross-stream dependency and commitment management that keeps Platform Engineering, AI Enablement, and Product Engineering aligned in day-to-day execution.
Platform Engineering provides shared foundations to reduce duplicated effort, remove friction, promote reuse, and establish consistent engineering standards — enabling teams to build, ship, and operate digital products faster, more consistently, and with greater confidence. This directly accelerates the delivery of software solutions to our scientists and, ultimately, active ingredient discovery across small molecules and biologicals.
This role is accountable for delivery orchestration across the team, ensuring prioritised work is delivered incrementally, with transparent execution, actively managed risks and dependencies, and clear alignment to successful business outcomes.
Accountabilities
- Own the delivery rhythm across Platform Engineering and ensure ceremonies drive outcomes, not compliance. Prioritise early, incremental value delivery
- Surface and manage cross-squad dependencies inside Platform Engineering and between Platform Engineering and its primary consumers.
- Own day-to-day delivery coordination with vendor leads and delivery commitments (statements of work) in Platform Engineering scope.
- Coordinate onboarding and offboarding of vetted externals with the relevant Staff Engineers and surface performance or capacity issues early.
- Chair the Delivery Council, own the cross-stream dependency register, and drive follow-through across Platform Engineering, AI Enablement, and Product Engineering.
- Call cross-stream re-plans when commitments slip and elevate only when consensus cannot be reached.
- Establish and maintain effective delivery metrics and reporting to ensure progress transparency and support data-driven action
