At Wellmark, we’re building the next generation of secure, scalable, and reusable data services that power innovation across the enterprise. We’re seeking a Team Leader / Delivery Manager to lead our Enterprise Data Services (EDS) teams — a high-impact group delivering modern, event-driven microservices and reusable APIs on AWS to support critical domains like benefits, provider, group, and member services. This is a unique opportunity for a technically fluent leader who thrives at the intersection of engineering excellence, Agile delivery, and people development. What You’ll Do: Lead two full-stack Agile teams (18 people) composed of product owners, scrum masters, software engineers, quality engineers, and data analysts, including both full-time and contingent team members. (Leader will act as Product Manager for the team – ie: hat, not role) Define and drive product strategy, prioritize and manage objectives and key results, collaborate with internal customers on roadmap, deliver value through iterative development, and deeply understand user and market needs to shape impactful, scalable solutions. Drive delivery execution, capacity planning, sprint health, and continuous improvement to meet roadmap commitments and business priorities. Partner with architects and product leaders to shape and deliver cloud-native, event-driven services using AWS technologies like Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge, and DynamoDB. Champion engineering standards, secure-by-design principles, and reusable service patterns across the platform. Guide the implementation of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (e.g., AWS CDK), and observability practices to ensure resilient, scalable, and supportable services. Coach and mentor engineers and Agile roles to grow technical skills, Agile maturity, and cross-functional collaboration. Foster strong stakeholder relationships across the Agile Release Train (ART), communicating progress, unblocking issues, and advocating for the team’s work. Manage team capacity and vendor contributions within budget guardrails, supporting division-level financial awareness. Strong conceptual understanding of data mesh, data fabric, and data product principles — with the ability to guide teams and stakeholders in applying these patterns to build scalable, domain-aligned, and reusable enterprise data services. You Will Be Successful In This Role By:Building a collaborative, trust-filled environment where team members thrive and stakeholders feel confident in the team’s delivery. Advocating for modern engineering best practices while enabling practical, achievable outcomes. Encouraging continuous improvement in how we deliver — balancing speed, quality, and sustainability. Staying close to the technology — enabling you to guide design decisions, champion reusable patterns, and support engineers in solving complex problems. Leading with curiosity, humility, and a commitment to growing both people and platforms.
