We are looking for a Technical Product Delivery Manager to take full ownership of delivery, support, and operational stability of the Velvetel product line.

This is not a coordination-only PM role and not a purely product or backlog-focused position.

This role is for someone who:

• owns delivery end-to-end
• steps in when things break
• understands systems beyond dashboards
• and drives outcomes, not processes

You will be responsible for ensuring that features are delivered, systems are stable, incidents are resolved, and clients are satisfied — even in complex and high-pressure situations.

This role combines:

• Delivery Management
• Technical Support Ownership
• Operational Leadership
• Hands-on Technical Involvement (L1/L2 when needed)

Delivery & Execution

• Own end-to-end delivery across product enhancements, fixes, client-driven work, and operational improvements
• Translate priorities into realistic plans and ensure execution happens
• Balance roadmap, support load, and urgent work within real capacity
• Drive issues to closure and prevent work from being lost between teams

Support & Incident Ownership

• Own support processes, escalation flows, and service quality
• Personally engage in critical incidents, outages, and client escalations
• Ensure fast and structured resolution of production issues
• Build stability and reliability into release and support processes

Technical Involvement

• Step in hands-on at L1/L2 level when needed
• Investigate issues, analyze logs, reproduce problems, and narrow root causes
• Distinguish between:
  • user errors
  • configuration issues
  • product bugs
  • infrastructure failures
  • integration problems
• Provide clear technical problem statements for engineering

Process & Operations

• Improve delivery workflows, escalation paths, and execution discipline
• Establish structured approaches to service quality and support readiness
• Create visibility into risks, blockers, priorities, and delivery status

Leadership & Collaboration

• Work closely with Engineering, QA, DevOps, Support, and Leadership
• Align distributed teams across time zones
• Take ownership in difficult situations and drive resolution

• 5+ years in software delivery / project / program / product delivery management
• Strong experience delivering live SaaS or production systems
• Proven ownership mindset: ability to drive execution, not just coordinate
• Solid technical background (development or DevOps)
• Ability to:
  • read logs
  • analyze incidents
  • troubleshoot issues
  • understand system behavior
• Hands-on readiness to engage at L1/L2 support level when required
• Experience working with cross-functional teams (Engineering, QA, DevOps, Support)
• Strong incident and escalation management skills
• Experience working in distributed teams and global environments
• High accountability and resilience under pressure

Benefits

• Velvetech is in the TOP 5 development companies in Illinois, USA
• You have FLEXIBLE working conditions and a COOPERATIVE environment
• Competitive salary
• Many CHALLENGING and exciting projects with new opportunities and learning
• GROWTH opportunities, skills and competencies improvement, and professional certification
• In-company TRAINING (English, Software / DevOps / Project management / Design / Business)
