About the role
Notion Press runs a technology platform used by tens of thousands of authors and readers. Behind it sits an in-house product and engineering team building web applications, internal tools, integrations and a growing amount of AI assisted automation. We are currently rebuilding how that engineering team runs, with a new delivery pipeline and a recent pod structure, and we need someone to run projects through it.
Every piece of engineering work we take on, whether it is a new product feature, a research bet, a third party integration or a critical production bug, moves through one defined pipeline. Intake, research, technical definition, proof of concept, UI, production planning, build, demo, deployment, and then measurement once it is live. Every stage has an owner, and every project has success metrics agreed before a line of code is written.
We are looking for the person who holds all of that together.
You will pick up a project at intake and stay with it until the 90 day post release metrics are in. You will sit in the CTO's office rather than inside one delivery team,



which means you see everything that is in flight, across every project, all the time.
If you like being the person who knows exactly where every build stands, this is a very good seat.
What you will do
Own the tracker. Every item, every stage, every timeline, every owner, in Jira Product Discovery and the sprint backlog. Our rule is simple: if it is not in the tracker, it is not happening. Keeping that true is your job.
Hold the stage gates. Nothing moves forward until it has met its exit criteria. PoC results tested against the metrics we defined upfront, UI signed off, production plan complete, end user sign off before anything is called done. You are the person who says "not yet, this is incomplete", including to engineers more senior than you.
Run the daily scrum. You run it, with the CTO in the room. Blockers surface the same day rather than at the end of a sprint.
Run releases. You
