Lead the Engine Room of a Software Organization in Transformation
Metrologic DCS is not standing still. We are working on the major innovation, actively scaling our R&D organization, maturing our engineering practices, and building the delivery infrastructure needed to compete and win in a fast-moving global market. Our software shapes how the world's most demanding manufacturers — in aerospace, automotive, and precision industries — measure, verify, and control quality. Getting that software to customers, reliably and at pace, is mission critical.
This is where this role comes in.
As Delivery Manager, you won't just oversee our complex landscape of the projects and their timelines. You will be a change agent at the heart of our development organization — transforming how we plan, execute, and continuously improve delivery across a complex, multi-team, multi-product environment. You will build the practices, the culture, and the people that turn our product ambitions into shipped, customer-ready software.
If you thrive at the intersection of structure and agility, if you know how to lead transformation without losing people along the way, and if you want your work to have a measurable impact on a growing international organization — this role was built for you.
What You Will Drive
Delivery Transformation & Planning
Own the translation of product roadmap into a coherent, realistic, and synchronized delivery plan supporting the team in translation of the functional requirements into technical requirements— bridging the world of Product Management and R&D Project Management
Oversee delivery across multiple concurrent strategic projects, maintaining visibility on timelines, budgets, scope, and quality
Identify and actively manage inter-project dependencies and systemic delivery risks before they become blockers
Introduce and embed delivery practices that scale — frameworks that work today and grow with the organization
Cross-Team Synchronization & Stakeholder Leadership
Design and facilitate synchronization rituals that work —Planning, Steering Committees, cross-team reviews — making alignment a habit, not a meeting
Serve as the connective tissue between Product Management, and engineering teams – orchestrate, help to collaborate and communicate
Ensure radical transparency on progress, risks, priorities, and delivery health — no surprises, no comfortable silences – alignment on progress, not on explanations
Continuous Improvement & Organizational Learning
Define, track, and report the KPIs that matter — delivery predictability, flow efficiency, team agility maturity, quality at release
Diagnose delivery bottlenecks not just as process problems, but as organizational signals — and drive systemic improvements, not workarounds
Champion a learning organization mindset: create the conditions where retrospectives lead to real change, experimentation is encouraged, and failure generates insight rather than blame
Drive the evolution of our delivery model as the organization grows — from team-level agility to scaled, multi-site program execution
People Development & Coaching
Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Project Leaders and Scrum Masters — building capability, confidence, and career paths
Define what great project management looks like at Metrologic, across both agile and hybrid delivery models — and make that standard visible and achievable
Be the kind of leader people grow under: direct feedback, genuine investment, and the clarity to help people see what they're capable of
Support the organization's shift toward greater agility — not as a methodology exercise, but as a genuine cultural transformation
The Environment You Will Step Into
This is a multinational, multi-site organization with engineering teams across Europe, USA, and India, collaborating daily across time zones, disciplines, and product lines. The complexity is real — and so is the opportunity. You will be operating at a moment of intentional growth: new team members joining, new practices being established, and a genuine organizational appetite for transformation.
What We're Looking For
8+ years in technical project management, with at least 3 years in an agile or scaled agile environment
Demonstrated experience leading delivery transformation or change management in a software organization
Proven track record managing and coaching project managers or Scrum Masters
Experience working in or across international, multi-site engineering teams is strongly valued
Senior-level command of project and program management frameworks — PMI, PRINCE2, SAFe, Scrum, or equivalent
Strong understanding of agile and hybrid delivery models, and the judgment to know when to apply which
Hands-on proficiency with delivery and collaboration tooling: Jira, Confluence, and equivalent platforms
A change agent — you see organizational friction as a problem to solve, not a condition to accept
Strong influencing skills in a matrix environment — you lead through credibility, clarity, and relationship, not hierarchy
Exceptional communicator at every level — from engineering teams to executive stakeholders
Analytically grounded and data-literate — you make decisions with evidence and explain them with clarity
Deeply committed to people development — you measure your success partly by how much the people around you have grown
Key Performance Indicators
Delivery plan quality — clear, synchronized scheduling between Product Management and R&D, with committed milestones
On-time, on-budget delivery rate — across all active strategic projects
Stakeholder satisfaction — measured across internal and external stakeholders at key delivery milestones
Agile maturity progression — measurable improvement in team practices, retrospective outcomes, and delivery predictability over time
Why This Role
Real transformation mandate — you have explicit organizational support to change how we work, not just manage how we currently do
International scope — you'll lead across geographies, cultures, and time zones, with all the complexity and richness that brings
Strategic visibility — direct access to executive leadership and product strategy, with your fingerprints on what gets built and when
A team worth leading — talented, motivated people who want to grow and are ready for someone to help them do it
Your application will be reviewed without regard to your background or personal views. Our positions are accessible to people with disabilities. We are particularly committed to ensuring professional equality between women and men.
