Docker · United Kingdom
About Docker Docker has been one of the most loved brands in developer tooling, trusted by more than 20 million monthly users and over 20 billion container image pulls. From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Docker to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout. We are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default. _______________________________________________________________________ About the Role Docker’s Professional Services team partners with customers to turn AI and cloud-native deployments into working production outcomes. We are looking for a technically fluent Delivery Program Manager to operate delivery engagements. You will be embedded as an overlay alongside technical sales, solution architects, forward deployed engineers, and delivery partners, translating customers’ technical and business requirements into scoped service engagements and managing them through delivery. You will be both builder and operator: designing repeatable service offerings where none exist today, and equally willing to roll up your sleeves to scope a detailed Statement of Work or unblock a stuck engagement. If you thrive in ambiguity, love building order from chaos, and operate with high autonomy and low ego, this role is for you. What You'll Own Delivery operations Operationalize the end-to-end engagement lifecycle, from scoping and kickoff through delivery, handoff, and retrospectives. Directly manage customer engagements: plan, run governance cadences, track milestones, manage risks and dependencies, and escalations. Review technical assumptions in scopes and SOWs with solution architects (environments, integrations, identity, network and security constraints, customer prerequisites) so estimates and timelines hold up in delivery. Own customer readiness and handoff: environment prerequisites, acceptance criteria, and clean transition to Support and Technical Account Managers. Offerings and reusable assets Partner with solution architects to create reusable delivery assets: playbooks, runbooks, statement of work templates, reference architectures, and onboarding workshops/guides. Turn repeatable customer patterns into packaged, fixed-scope offerings with defined outcomes, durations and pricing inputs. Build and maintain the sales-cycle engagement model and intake process for when and how Services are engaged across sales stages. Governance, tooling, and metrics Build the program management and governance infrastructure: intake frameworks, capacity planning models, risk registers, delivery dashboards, and milestone tracking. Define and report delivery KPIs: on-time delivery, utilization, engagement margin, customer satisfaction. Own SOW amendment and change-order processes: define when and how scope changes are documented, approved, and reflected in project tracking. Partner with Legal on SOW frameworks and language. What We're Looking For Required Qualifications 8+ years of experience in technical program management, professional services, forward deployed engineering services or equivalent cross-functional roles. Experience at a B2B SaaS, developer tooling, or infrastructure software company delivering implementation, migration, or adoption engagements to enterprise customers. Demonstrated experience building programs, processes, or practices from scratch not just optimizing existing ones. Strong technical fluency: comfortable participating in systems architecture discussions, understanding system dependencies. Strong structured problem solving, facilitation, and systems thinking, including participation in Experience with Professional Services tooling and business systems (e.g., Salesforce, NetSuite, PSA tools) Exceptional written and verbal communicator able to produce executive-grade program readouts and customer-facing documentation alike. High degree of personal accountability; comfortable owning ambiguous problems with limited oversight and providing value-added improvements. Preferred Qualifications Professional services, consulting, or delivery experience at an infrastructure software vendor or systems integrator. Experience self-serving data and analytics (Looker, Tableau, or similar) to build performance reporting. Prior experience scaling a Professional Services or delivery organization or a support services operation through a growth or transformation phase. Experience building engagements with third-party partners and system integrators within professional services delivery models. Why This Role Building a PS function from the ground up is rare. This is an opportunity to shape how Docker serves its most strategic
