THE ROLE
As a Service Delivery Manager, you will play a crucial role in orchestrating an integrated delivery model for our Technology, Data, and Delivery team based on service orientation, value streams, and business agile delivery concepts. Your primary responsibility will be to streamline work by implementing a service orientation structure, model, & tools to better manage and measure the flow of work such that high value items are worked on first, work ambiguity is reduced, and it enables more predictable metrics on delivery efficiency. As a vital facilitator for delivery teams, you'll play a crucial role in coordinating and planning of key Kanban meetings at various levels such as Program (focusing on strategic alignment) and Tactical (targeting team operational efficiency). By implementing Jira and Confluence workflows & dashboards, you will streamline processes and foster a highly collaborative environment among cross-functional teams. Your efforts will significantly enhance collaboration and optimize delivery outcomes.

Your primary mission will be to enhance our service delivery, focusing on visualizing work, managing flow, and continuously improving delivery processes to ensure efficient and effective outcomes. You will leverage Kanban methodologies to prioritize high-value work, reduce work in progress (WIP) limits, and foster a culture of transparency and continuous improvement. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, you will drive the adoption of Kanban principles, enabling better predictability, throughput, and customer satisfaction.

You will report into Senior Director, Delivery Practice & Portfolio Reporting and continuously learn from seasoned leaders, fostering your professional growth with each project.

UPP is based in Toronto’s financial district and has a hybrid work model (~2 days / week in office).
