Company: Accruent


About Accruent

Accruent is a global leader in intelligent assets, facilities, and real estate management software, helping organizations connect their physical world to their digital future. Our platform powers mission-critical operations for thousands of customers worldwide, from Fortune 500 enterprises to fast-growing disruptors. Backed by Fortive (NYSE: FTV), we combine the agility of a SaaS innovator with the scale and discipline of an established global enterprise. At Accruent, we’re building technology that enables customers to make smarter, faster, data-driven decisions.


Position Overview


At the heart of our mission is a simple belief: complex software development should be predictable, transparent, and efficient. We are seeking a Director of Agile Delivery Management to be the architect of that operational excellence. In this role, you will bridge the gap between high-level strategic vision and the tactical, everyday execution of our product teams. You will lead, mentor, and inspire a multidisciplinary team of program managers and agile practitioners, serving as the connective tissue across the organization to ensure every release delivers business value with speed and precision. If you are a rigorous leader who can balance the discipline of Agile frameworks with the flexibility required in a high-growth SaaS environment, we’ve built a seat at the table just for you.


What You’ll Do


+ Delivery Strategy & Governance: Define and evangelize an enterprise-wide Agile framework that aligns with our long-term company goals and sets a new standard for our vast portfolio of products.

+ Team Leadership: Recruit, mentor, and scale a high-performing team of Program Managers, fostering a culture of radical transparency, relentless improvement, and operational discipline.

+ Agile Rituals & Process: Direct the optimization of our delivery rituals (Scrum, Kanban, PI Planning), ensuring seamless flow from discovery to deployment through mature, data-driven methodology.

+ Continuous Improvement & Learning: Drive a continuous improvement culture through postmortems, retrospectives and accountable action tracking.

+ Release Predictability: Lead cross-functional coordination to uncover dependencies, manage risks, and ensure predictable release cycles across complex, interconnected product lines.

+ Workflow Optimization: Spearhead a culture of data-informed execution, utilizing velocity metrics, cycle time analysis, and flow efficiency to optimize delivery performance and business outcomes.

+ AI-Enabled Delivery: Integrate cutting-edge tools into our delivery lifecycle to automate reporting, identify bottlenecks, and enhance forecasting accuracy.

+ Cross-Functional Orchestration: Work in lockstep with Product Management and Engineering leadership to balance speed-to-market with technical debt management and operational ROI.


What Success Looks Like[PA4][PA5]


+ Predictability: A consistent ability to deliver on projected roadmap dates by effectively balancing scope, team capacity, and proactive dependency management that establishes trust with internal stakeholders and customers.

+ Operational Velocity: A highly efficient development pipeline where cycle times are optimized and waste is systematically removed.

+ Quality Excellence: A measurable increase in release stability and a reduction in post-release defects, driven by rigorous agile practices.

+ Relentless Improvement: Reduction of repeat issues, improvements implemented, sustained and measured.

+ Evidence-Based Delivery: A culture where decisions are driven by real-time data, usage metrics, and clear performance indicators.

+ Organizational Trust: A unified engine where the Delivery Management function is viewed as a strategic partner to both Engineering and Product leadership.


What You Bring


+ Proven Leadership: 10+ years of experience in Program Management, Engineering Operations, or Agile Delivery, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role scaling high-performance SaaS delivery teams.

+ Strategic Mindset: A track record of successful product delivery where you led the journey from abstract roadmap to high-impact, market-ready releases.

+ Technical Sophistication: Deep expertise in Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe (or similar scaling frameworks), alongside a strong understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

+ Analytics Fluency: Proficiency in leveraging quantitative data (velocity, burn-down, throughput) to drive high-conviction delivery decisions.

+ Stakeholder Mastery: The ability to navigate organizational complexity and communicate the business value of operational excellence to C-suite stakeholders.

+ Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Business, or a related field required; Master’s degree preferred.


Preferred Qualifications


+ Experience in Product-Led Growth (PLG) environments.

+ Familiarity with modern delivery and management platforms (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana, Monday.com).

+ Experience in Lean or Six Sigma methodologies.

+ Background in enterprise SaaS or complex, workflow-based data products.

+ Experience scaling global delivery teams across multiple time zones and product lines.
