We’re looking for a Delivery Manager to lead the planning, execution, and delivery of the web and mobile experiences that millions of Wattpad readers and writers rely on every day, taking ideas from roadmap to release and shipping features that help stories find their audience.

This is not a traditional project management role focused on timelines and status updates. You will bring clarity and structure to how the team works, turning priorities into clear goals and keeping delivery moving as the team solves complex problems. Working closely with Product, Engineering, Design and QA, you will manage dependencies, clear blockers, spot risks early, and adapt quickly when priorities shift, all while staying hands-on and pitching in wherever the team needs you.

What You'll Do:

Create clarity and structure by defining what needs to be done, why it matters, and how each team member contributes to the outcome

• Partner with Product, Engineering, Design, QA and stakeholders across the company to keep work aligned

• Lead planning sessions, from roadmapping to sprint planning, and translate priorities into clear goals and commitments

• Keep the team focused day to day by running standups, managing dependencies, and clearing blockers to maintain momentum

• Anticipate challenges and spot risks early, taking decisive action to keep delivery on track

• Stay hands-on and close to the details, quickly pivoting the team when priorities or circumstances shift

• Use the right tools and practices to create clarity, transparency, and accountability for the team and its stakeholders

• Review technical documentation to stay close to what the team is building and why

• Pitch in wherever needed, knowing that no task is too small to matter

Required Qualifications:

3+ years of experience delivering digital products (web and mobile)

• Experience working within Agile frameworks (e.g., Scrum, Kanban) on product teams

• Experience with Jira, Confluence, or similar delivery and documentation tools

• Detail-oriented and proactive, with the ability to think several steps ahead

• Proven ability to clear blockers, manage dependencies, and keep teams aligned as priorities evolve

• Strong emotional intelligence and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional partners and stakeholders

• Comfort with ambiguity and flexible agile practices, with the ability to create or adapt processes rather than relying on ones already in place

• Highly organized, with a strong command of delivery tools and practices

Nice To Haves:

Ability to confidently navigate technical conversations with Engineering, Product & Design teams

• Experience delivering consumer-facing products at scale, especially apps with large, engaged communities

• Experience coordinating work across distributed teams or multiple time zones
