Job Description
Remote | Full-time
ELVTR is an online education company offering live courses led by industry experts and senior executives. Our Ukrainian engineering team builds internal systems, AI tools, operational platforms, and product improvements used across the company.
We need a hands-on Delivery Manager who can make technical delivery clear, visible, and dependable. You will work directly with our CTO and coordinate engineers and business stakeholders from the first request through release, rollout, and adoption.
What you will do
- Weigh competing requests against capacity, deadlines, and dependencies, and recommend a delivery sequence with clear trade-offs for the CTO to confirm.
- Hold senior and business stakeholders to their commitments as firmly as engineers, including pushing back on late changes, out-of-process requests, and unrealistic dates.
- Propose and negotiate delivery plans, then track the plan confirmed by the CTO.
- Surface blockers and slippage early, bring options, and escalate material risks through the agreed route.
- Keep Asana accurate across every initiative and request, including minor tickets.
- Turn discussions into clear owners, milestones, dates, dependencies, decisions, and next steps.
- Clarify requirements and acceptance criteria before engineering commits to work.
- Interview stakeholders and run light business analysis when a request arrives without clear requirements. You turn ambiguity into a workable spec, not just a ticket.
- Coordinate execution, testing, releases, incidents, support, rollout, and adoption follow-through.
- Own user acceptance testing before release: confirm the delivered work actually solves the business problem it was meant to solve.
- Vibecode quick prototypes, scripts, and internal automations to clarify requirements, test ideas, and remove manual delivery work. This doesn't replace engineering's production work.
- Improve the operating process without adding unnecessary ceremony.
- At least 2-4 years of software Project Management/ Delivery Management ownership, ideally in outsourcing or IT services.
- Fluent professional Ukrainian and strong Upper-Intermediate English, B2+ minimum; C1 preferred.
- Experience running 2-4 workstreams.
- End-to-end experience from discovery or intake through production release, plus maintenance, support, or incidents.
- Comfortable interviewing stakeholders and writing requirements yourself when there's no dedicated BA.
- Practical ownership of scope, dates, dependencies, risks, change requests, and stakeholder communication.
- Enough technical fluency to discuss APIs, environments, QA, regression, deployments, rollbacks, databases, and incidents without pretending to be an engineer.
- Comfort using AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) to prototype small internal fixes or automations.
- Calm judgment, polite persistence, attention to detail, and comfort influencing without line authority.
- Strong experience with Asana, Jira, Confluence, ClickUp, Monday.com, or a similar tool.
- Earlier Business Analysis or QA experience is a strong advantage.
- Direct experience with UK, US, Canadian, or European clients and distributed engineering teams is a plus.
- A technical degree, coding background, PMP, Scrum certification, or EdTech experience is optional.
