Description
* Serve as the named Delivery Lead — responsible for day-to-day delivery management, staffing alignment, sprint execution, and issue identification across the AI pod. * Own pod-level impediment removal and stakeholder coordination onsite in Newark/Wilmington — chasing access provisioning, unblocking SLM dependencies, and escalating to engagement leads when needed. * Operate as the Photon-side counterpart to be on a tactical squad execution, while Derek leads enterprise-wide ways-of-working transformation under a separate, planned workstream. * Own pod-level flow metrics (cycle time, throughput, blocked items) and feed squad-level data into the broader transformation metrics framework — addressing the inspect-and-improve loop  * Drive the team's progression from 2-week → 1-week → 2-day sprint cadence per pitched AI-infused agile model. * Run the SOW-mandated operating cadence: weekly delivery status reporting (progress, risks, dependencies, milestones) and monthly governance reviews on delivery health, staffing, and financial burn. * Coordinate change control — any material change to scope, staffing, or rates routed through written change request.  Compensation, Benefits and Duration Minimum Compensation: USD 56,000 Maximum Compensation: USD 196,000 Compensation is based on actual experience and qualifications of the candidate.
