Your mission is to assist product development squads using agile principles to execute programs which improve the happiness, creativity, and velocity of anyone building on or integrating.
Who We’re Looking For
- You’re not afraid to take on new challenges. Your colleagues would say you often spot operational challenges and fix them before most people knew that they ever existed. You regularly set your own direction in the absence of requests, and your peers and Sr. leaders would call you a “go-getter”. As an agile enthusiast, you can encourage teams along a project path even when it’s not always clear what the next step is. You also embody the “people over process” principle and, in doing so, have a track record of constantly iterating upon the processes you manage to make them easier to adopt, navigate, and complete.
- You’re a collaborator, who likes to pilot and test processes out before expanding them across your portfolio and beyond. You have an ability to thrive in a rapidly evolving environment - simultaneously too much and too little process, critical functions still reliant on institutional knowledge, everything seems urgent, but there’s great opportunities for impact everywhere you look!
Responsibilities

- Collaborate with a variety of cross functional stakeholders including UXD, SWEs, Product Management among others to drive the roadmap through to completion. Continuously manage tradeoffs when delivering against the roadmap and communicate changes to stakeholders.
- Iterate on processes, allowing them to scale, and Verily to release working software faster.
- Establish and continuously monitor KPIs to ruthlessly prioritize work that will add the most benefit against the KPIs.
- Communicate with Sr. Leadership on a regular basis to defend and amend priorities, surface risks and mitigation strategies, and provide status updates on large XFN efforts.
- Work with Engineering Managers and Technical Leads to effectively manage resources to staff projects in accordance with the priorities set.
- What makes this job unique a
- The Precision Health Platform team offers common platform products to several teams at Verily. Your contributions to your squads and on your projects will have an extraordinary impact on our ability to scale Verily’s products and services, in addition to offering pretty cool health tech to individuals at scale.
