The Senior Director, Software Engineering & Delivery, is the senior-most engineering leader at the Global Electronics Association, responsible for the technical vision, predictable delivery, and operational excellence of all software functions. Reporting directly to the CIO, you will oversee a centralized organization encompassing Application Engineering, Integration, Data, DevOps, Quality Assurance (QA), and Scrum. Your mission is to evolve our engineering culture from "reactive" to "predictable"—implementing a pragmatic agile framework and a unified productivity scorecard that ensures we ship high-quality, modular, and secure software that drives business growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Engineering Leadership: Manage the software engineering lifecycle across Applications, Data, DevOps, and QA. Directly oversee the Scrum Master function to ensure that delivery processes are optimized, disciplined, and aligned with engineering goals.

• Continuous Operational Improvement: Lead technical design reviews and architecture decisions. Foster a culture of "build it right the first time" by integrating QA and DevOps early in the development lifecycle.

Please apply if this profile reflects you:

• The Pragmatic Architect: You don't believe in "architecture for architecture's sake." You design systems that solve today's problems while scaling for tomorrow's growth.
• The Delivery Specialist: You are obsessed with predictability. You know that a successful engineering org is one where "done" means "done," and releases are non-events.
• The Data-Driven Coach: You use your Unified Scorecard not just for oversight, but as a coaching tool to help engineers and teams improve their craft and remove friction from their daily work.
• The Unifier: You ensure team unity across Data, App Dev, and DevOps roles, ensuring everyone is working toward a singular definition of success.
