When you join Motum, you work full-time with one company, integrate directly into their team, and build a career with long-term impact. Ready to join us?About the RoleWe are looking for a Technical Delivery Manager / IT Manager to lead and coordinate a small but highly capable technical team working across multiple AI-driven products. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, operations, and stakeholders, with a strong focus on execution, planning, and team enablement, rather than hands-on coding.The team is technically strong and largely self-sufficient, but currently lacks structured planning, backlog management, sprint discipline, and cross-functional coordination. This role exists to bring order, clarity, and predictability to how work is planned and delivered—without disrupting a healthy team dynamic.The person in this role will act as a front-line technical manager and Scrum-style leader, responsible for organizing work, managing priorities, guiding agile processes, and helping the team operate efficiently across multiple concurrent products and customer projects. While this role does not require active development work, it does require a solid technical foundation to understand the architecture, challenges, and translate business needs into executable technical plans.The environment includes AI agents, LLM-based systems, document processing, backend pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and containerized services. The ideal candidate understands these concepts well enough to ask the right questions, guide architectural thinking, and prevent short-term decisions from creating long-term technical or cost issues.This role also involves people leadership at a small scale—coaching engineers, setting expectations, addressing blockers, and helping team members balance delivery work with professional growth. As the organization grows, this role is expected to mature into a stronger people and delivery leadership position.ResponsibilitiesOwn day-to-day coordination and task management for the technical team across multiple products and initiativesAct as a Scrum Master–style leader, facilitating sprint planning, backlog grooming, standups, and delivery forecastingWork closely with Product and Business stakeholders to translate business requirements into well-defined technical tasks and user storiesImprove and enforce agile discipline, including capacity planning, velocity tracking, backlog prioritization, and multi-sprint planningEnsure the team is focused on the right work at the right time, helping unblock issues and redirect effort when priorities shiftGuide technical discussions at a conceptual and architectural level, ensuring solutions are scalable, reusable, and aligned with long-term goalsParticipate in customer and stakeholder meetings to help ask the right technical questions and validate feasibility earlyCoordinate cross-functional inputs from Product, Security, QA, and Infrastructure teamsMonitor infrastructure usage and operational costs, identifying inefficiencies and preventing unnecessary spendHelp manage technical risk, including SOC 2 and security-related work, without derailing delivery commitmentsSupport engineers through coaching, feedback, and light people management, including time management and professional development guidanceAssess team capacity and make hiring or resourcing recommendations based on demand and workloadMaintain a collaborative team culture by listening first, understanding historical decisions, and introducing improvements thoughtfullyRequirementsExperience in a technical leadership, delivery manageror technical product manager roleStrong understanding of agile methodologies, with real-world experience in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and capacity managementSolid technical foundation in backend systems, distributed architectures, and system integrationFamiliarity with AI/LLM concepts, including prompts, model usage, data pipelines, and architectural considerations (hands-on experience not required)Exposure to cloud infrastructure, containers, and resource management (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes concepts)Ability to communicate effectively with engineers, product leaders, and non-technical stakeholdersPrior experience coordinating or managing engineers, even in a small or informal capacityStrong organizational and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage competing demands across multiple productsCost-conscious mindset when evaluating technical and infrastructure decisionsComfortable operating in a fast-moving, evolving environment with incomplete informationWillingness to learn continuously and ask questions when encountering unfamiliar technical areasCollaborative leadership style focused on guidance, alignment, and enablement, not command-and-controlAdditional Information:Working Hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM - 5 PM EST Full-Time: 40 hours per weekWe Offer: 🌎 100% remote role!🇺🇸 Grow along a top US company and shape its future
