What to Expect

The Sr. Digital Product Development Manager leads an outsourced delivery partner who provides scalable and secure solutions that meet business needs while also serving as a hands-on technical leader who can design, build, and maintain key platform capabilities. This role partners with Product and business stakeholders to clarify outcomes, translates needs into technical plans and requirements, governs vendor delivery (scope, quality, timelines), and contributes directly through coding, code reviews, and ongoing platform support in an agile environment.

What You Will Do

1. Technical Delivery

        Own delivery execution for a product area by establishing clear delivery plans, milestones, and operating cadences with cross-functional teams.

        Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to align scope, sequencing, and tradeoffs to meet outcomes and commitments.

        Establish technical standards and best practices aligned with Salesforce architecture and governance guidelines.

        Ensure solutions are extensible, performant, and aligned with enterprise integration and data strategies

        Contribute directly to delivery through design and coding of features, integrations, and automation as needed; maintain the ability to step in and build critical components.

        Perform code reviews and ensure adherence to engineering standards (security, performance, maintainability, testing, documentation).

        Partner with architects/engineers to define solution designs, APIs/integration patterns, data flows, and technical roadmaps.

2. Vendor Delivery Oversight & Governance

        Serve as day-to-day technology owner for an outsourced delivery partner: set expectations, review plans and estimates, validate deliverables, and hold the vendor accountable for scope, quality, timelines, and documentation.

        Translate business needs into vendor-ready requirements (epics/stories, acceptance criteria, NFRs) and ensure alignment on solution approach and definition of done.

        Manage delivery governance including status reporting, risk/issue management, change control, and dependency coordination across internal teams and the vendor.

3. Risk Management

        Identify, document, and proactively manage risks, impediments, cross-team dependencies, drive escalation and resolution paths.

        Coordinate across teams/vendors to sequence integrated work and manage changes to timelines and scope.

4. Platform Maintenance & Continuous Improvement

        Own ongoing application health: triage and resolve defects, manage technical debt, support patching/upgrades, and drive performance and reliability improvements.

        Establish and maintain technical documentation and decision logs; ensure knowledge transfer from the vendor to internal teams.

        Continuously improve delivery effectiveness through retrospectives, root-cause analysis, and process/tooling enhancements.

5. Stakeholder Management & Communication

        Provide transparent, concise status reporting (delivery health, scope, risks, decisions) tailored to different audiences.

        Facilitate alignment across business and technology stakeholders; capture decisions and manage expectations throughout delivery.

What You Will Bring

        Minimum 8 years' progressive experience in application delivery, software engineering, technical program/delivery management, or similar roles supporting digital products.

        Experience leading and supporting Salesforce Cloud development, including platform configuration/customization, Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Flows, and enterprise integrations.
