Your role

Qualitative and on-time delivery is core to Side’s approach to product development. Making sure that we hit our deadlines, keeping high standards and delivering excellent experiences to our end users is part of what makes us a product first company.
Today, we enter a scale-up phase where the growth of the product team and its delivery will be strategic. In the coming months and years we plan to develop in order to keep offering the best work experience in France and beyond.

The Lead Delivery Manager’s mission will be to make sure that the product team delivers our quarterly roadmaps on time while keeping the high quality of the products being built.

Helped by developers, designers and product managers, the Lead Delivery Manager will oversee the steps ranging from technical specifications to implementation, QA, release and monitoring so that every project becomes clear, with a deadline and releases with no bug and long term stability.
Monitoring projects’ evolutions and preventing possible delays early so that deadlines reliability becomes certain is a key part of the role. Monitoring roadmaps’ outputs to make sure that quality raises and tech future proofness stays is key as well.
