Who Will You Report Into?
Hello, my name is Sirat Babbar, SVP of Project Delivery and I need your help. We have several new products and services we’re launching to help make it easier to be healthy. To scale, we need an expert Technical Delivery Manager to lead our most critical efforts, while helping me build out a scalable agile process. I’m not interested in someone that just follows orders – I’m looking for a true partner who can think independently, help fill gaps, and build a customized delivery system to accelerate our success.
What Will You Own?
This will be an extremely hands-on position in which you’ll lead the Agile implementation by doing it! You’ll organize and facilitate daily scrums, manage the portfolio, and prioritize key actions to deliver our biggest initiatives. You’ll ensure clear and constant communication with all stakeholders. And you’ll upgrade our analytics and leverage Jira dashboards to help us improve our daily routines.
What Does the Ideal Candidate Look Like?
You live and breathe project management, naturally see the clear path in organizing everything around you and have an innate ability to communicate and help others efficiently reach their goals. You’re well versed in PM theories and paradigms, you can geek out discussing the pros and cons of Agile frameworks, compose stories, and would jump at the chance to use Jira to manage your personal overseas vacation! You love seeing patterns of structure within chaos and have a optimization mindset that easily figures out better ways to do things, enabling you and those around you to win easier.
Just as importantly, you’re extremely into health, wellness and/or fitness. You love experimenting with new habits, realize how important having an optimized daily routine is and simply can’t get enough of this stuff. Perhaps you’ve had a health challenge that got you interested, or you’ve just always been highly passionate about health, wellness, and fitness. Either way, your eyes are lighting up at the possibility of aligning your personal passion with your professional superpower.
If you’re getting that funny feeling of “this feels like it is written just for me”, please read on.
What’s the Team Like?
You’ll be the first hire of the newly created Project Delivery Office I’m building and play a pivotal role in shaping our future. You’ll work closely with our engaged team of Engineers, QA Director, Product team, the business leaders and me, harmonizing our efforts to create an efficient delivery machine.
What Will You Be Working On?
You’ll immediately dive into 3 of our most significant projects, organizing technical efforts for our new e-commerce platform, Salesforce, and our new flagship digital product that helps people optimize their metabolism with an individualized nutrition, exercise and lifestyle plan that’s customized to how their unique metabolism works… this revolutionary product includes AI to make it easier to be healthy.
What’s Our Culture Like?
We have a human-first culture that puts the needs of our team first. We combine dedicated time for deep work to deliver world-class performance with a standard set of rhythms that allow us to stay in alignment, be transparent and eliminate office politics. For example:
Standard 8:30 to 5:00 p.m. ET schedule to protect your personal and family time
No standing meetings before 1 p.m. ET to empower you with 4 hours truly of deep work to GSD
Daily huddles and weekly check-ins to brainstorm, align on priorities and remove bottlenecks
No meetings the first week of the month to gain momentum for the month ahead
Who Are We and How Are We Different?
Our mission is simple: make living healthy easier than living unhealthy. We do that by empowering people to fix their own health with our metabolism-first approach and unified ecosystem that powers our MetabolicOS. 3 things make us different than others in the health and wellness space:
Metabolism-First – After 11 years of trial-and-error with 500k+ people, we’ve found optimizing your metabolism delivers the results you want: feeling your best, looking your best, performing your best and living longer. Your metabolism is your inner compass for health, but most people don’t understand how to read it; once you do, it’ll tell you exactly what to do to help you thrive.
Individualized-Approach – Paleo may work great for one person’s metabolism, Vegan for another, Keto for another, etc. Everyone’s different, so to achieve results that stick, those differences must be respected; if not, things will backfire. That’s why our approach is 100% customized to the individual – there is no perfect program to find, it must be built to support how that specific person’s unique metabolism works. This is where the usual one-size-fits-all solutions fail – they don’t respect our very real individual differences.
Integrated Ecosystem – It’s simply too hard to live healthy – lots of great individual solutions, but nothing is connected. We’re left to stitch everything together, which is confusing. We simplify everything with an integrated suite of the offerings you need to optimize your metabolism. We started with nutrition, then exercise, then supplements, then coaching and are constantly pulling in new pieces of the health puzzle.
All of this is combined into our proprietary Metabolic Optimization System (MetabolicOS) that unites practitioner wisdom and scientific research with machine learning to deliver a truly customized data-driven consumer experience that helps you dial in your metabolism at any stage of life.
What’s Our Past and Future?
Our company may be a bit confusing at first glance because we built everything organically in reverse, starting with our first nutrition program in 2012, then our first exercise program in 2014 and then launching our full ecosystem of products, including nutraceuticals, functional foods, subscriptions, memberships, 1-on-1 coaching and more. We market these all separately under different DTC websites.
However, now everything’s being centralized under our new brand, Metabolic. We’re launching our flagship e-comm website on Metabolic.com in Q3 and our digital product + e-comm app in Q4. Normally, companies raise money, launch with a brand and then figure out how to make money later. We did that in reverse – creating products that solve specific problems first to bootstrap, scaling that up to fund building out our team and infrastructure, and then retrofitting the brand on top.
What are the on-going Responsibilities?
Establish Accountability – By serving as the central technical project quarterback, you’ll bring single-point accountability to technical project management and delivery.
Improve Quality – By understanding business needs, providing technical assessment of business requirements, working with the teams to size and prioritize, creating a plan, setting clear expectations, and aligning with stakeholders, you’ll improve the quality of projects delivered
Accelerate Delivery – By actively managing the project, grooming the backlog, prioritizing tasks, bridging the teams to collaborate with urgency and removing bottlenecks, you’ll improve the speed at which projects are delivered
Agile Execution – Lead stand-up meetings, retrospectives, and demonstrations, collaborate with Product Owners and Engineering to plan releases and maintain backlog, coach teams on agile management, user story creations, splitting, story pointing, and all things Agile
Relationship Management & Reporting – Keep team members and stakeholders engaged and informed with crisp and clear communication, documentation and presentations to ensure alignment at all levels of the organization, from C level to technical and non-technical
Requirements
Expert Project Manager – Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, or similar discipline and 8+ years of experience as a Scrum Master/Technical Project Manager managing highly complex cross functional tech projects, 5+ years track record of successfully implementing software development projects using Agile methodologies – SAFe certified a plus
E-commerce and/or Digital Product Experience – Robust track record of delivering complex technical projects in a consumer-facing e-comm and/or digital product setting
Systems-Oriented – Strong pattern detector who loves to create order out of chaos with highly organized, repeatable processes and systems that methodically deliver sustained success
Exceptional Communication Skills – A perceptive listener who quickly synthesize info and can formulate a methodical action plan that can be clearly articulated verbally and in writing
Driven to Excellence – An ownership mentality with a relentless inner drive to excellence that other people who aren’t built that way find disturbingly intense 🙂
