About the role

• RTE / Delivery Manager piloting product trains in a hybrid role for a major cosmetics company. Ensuring efficient delivery and operational execution with agile methodologies.

Responsibilities

• Orchestrate delivery at scale: Own and drive the overall train roadmap and ensure that objectives set during planning cycles (e.g., PI Planning) are realistic and met.
• Manage risks and dependencies: Proactively identify blockers (technical, functional or organizational) and coordinate corrective actions across squads and cross-functional teams.
• Optimize the "Flow": Analyze the value stream to reduce Time-to-Market. Implement lightweight but robust synchronization processes (Scrum of Scrums, PO Sync, ART Sync).
• Ensure predictability: Define and track concrete performance indicators (Burn-up, Velocity, Predictability, Lead Time). Turn data into actionable plans.

• Delivery & scale expertise: You understand SAFe concepts but remain pragmatic rather than dogmatic. You know what it means to deliver at scale.

• Excellent interpersonal skills: You can communicate with C-level executives while speaking the language of developers and Product Owners.
• Fluent English required: You operate in a multicultural environment with teams distributed internationally.
