About DAP – DriveNets Automation Platform

DAP – the DriveNets Automation Platform – is our network automation and orchestration platform for large-scale service providers. On top of the platform, our Services teams develop and deliver customer workflows that automate network build, provisioning and service activation end-to-end: from the customer’s planning and inventory systems, through DAP, to the live network. Workflows are specified by System Architecture, developed in short sprints, integrated with customer and third-party systems, validated across SIT, PST and E2E environments, and delivered in frequent drops against committed customer milestones.

The Role

DriveNets is seeking an experienced DAP Services Project Manager to own the planning, tracking and delivery of customer workflow development for a tier-1 U.S. service provider.

This is a high-visibility role at the core of DAP Services execution, sitting at the intersection of engineering delivery and customer commitment. You will maintain a single, trusted, end-to-end view of every workflow initiative – from specification through development, cross-component integration, SIT/PST/E2E testing and delivery – and make sure that what we commit to the customer is what engineering plans, builds and ships. You are the person leadership and the customer turn to for “where do we really stand, what is blocked, and what are we doing about it.”

You act as the bridge between cross-functional stakeholders, aligning everyone on a common roadmap and development pace, and you think holistically about interdependencies, data-driven insights and continuous improvement. The DAP Services PM works closely with System Architecture, Service Delivery development teams, DAP platform R&D, Testing (SIT/PST/E2E), DevOps, Product Management, the DAP customer program leads and the customer’s own engineering and operations teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end planning and delivery across a portfolio of customer workflows, from scoping through testing and customer acceptance.
• Ensure sprint readiness, including solution specifications, API contracts, mock-ups, inventory data, assigned owners and committed development and testing dates.
• Maintain integrated delivery plans, milestones and critical paths across workflows, platform dependencies and external systems.
• Manage customer delivery reviews, commitments and scope changes, aligning priorities and expectations with Product and Services leadership.
• Coordinate execution across Architecture, R&D, Service Delivery, QA, DevOps and customer teams throughout the sprint and release cadence.
• Own Jira delivery governance, dashboards and leadership reporting, ensuring accurate plans, progress tracking and actionable insights.
• Track delivery KPIs to improve readiness, quality and predictability.
• Identify risks, dependencies and blockers early; drive mitigation, escalation and cross-team resolution.
• Standardize and improve Agile delivery processes, templates and ceremonies to support scale, transparency and accountability.

Requirements

Requirements

• 7+ years of project/program management in software R&D, including 3+ years leading customer-facing delivery programs.
• Proven experience managing concurrent projects with cross-team and third-party dependencies.
• Strong Agile/Scrum and milestone-based delivery skills, including sprint readiness, capacity and release planning.
• Advanced Jira and Confluence skills, including hierarchies, JQL, dashboards and reporting.
• Strong understanding of the software lifecycle, integration and E2E testing, branching strategies and CI/CD.
• Ability to translate complex technical and business requirements into clear plans, resolve blockers with engineers and drive accountability without formal authority.
• Excellent stakeholder management and presentation skills, with fluent written and spoken English.
• Ability to manage ambiguity and competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Availability for regular afternoon/evening overlap with U.S. customers.

Preferred Qualifications

• Telecom, networking or cloud infrastructure experience, particularly network automation, OSS/BSS, inventory or provisioning.
• Experience delivering API-based integrations with customer systems, including mock-based development and multi-stage testing.
• Familiarity with orchestration engines such as Temporal, Camunda or Airflow, or Python automation.
• Enterprise or carrier delivery experience, including scope and change-request management.
• Jira administration and reporting experience using Excel, Power BI or Python.
• Relevant certifications such as PMP, PMI-ACP, SAFe or CSM.

Success in This Role

Create a trusted, end-to-end view of delivery plans, progress and risks; anticipate and resolve dependencies; balance customer commitments with engineering capacity; and build predictable, repeatable delivery across DAP Services.
