Build the skills for this role
Strengthen delivery fundamentals: scope control, risk tracking, stakeholder communication, and basic software lifecycle literacy (requirements through release). Practice facilitating technical trade-offs without owning every implementation detail.
Prepare stories about recovering a slipping timeline, negotiating scope, and aligning engineers with non-technical stakeholders. Be ready to discuss how you run status, escalate risks, and balance multiple client or internal workstreams.
Strong fit if you like leading software delivery for clients in an engineering-services model, prefer on-site work in the Waukesha area, and enjoy coordination over deep solo coding.
