## About the role

The Delivery Programs Lead is a senior generalist role that sits at the heart of Raft's delivery organization, reporting directly to the Vice President of Delivery and Product.

Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Demonstrated experience working within or alongside software development teams, familiarity with Agile processes, DevSecOps concepts, or system integration is a significant asset
- Exceptional attention to detail, particularly in written and structured artifacts. You catch what others miss. This matters in contract language, proposal content, and customer deliverables
- Strong written and verbal communication skills. You can write a crisp executive summary, draft a capability brief, and hold a room in front of a program office, adjusting register and depth as the audience requires
- Strategic thinking paired with discipline and follow-through. You can zoom out to see the business angle and zoom in to execute on the detail without losing track of either
- Assertive and confident in pushing ideas forward, with strong situational awareness about when to advocate and when to adapt. You read the room without being told to
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity. Raft's environment is fast, iterative, and often under-defined. You stabilize situations rather than waiting for clarity to arrive
