Project Delivery Manager

Allot is an established industry leader in network intelligence and security solutions for service providers and enterprises around the world. We believe in giving our Tier-1 customers around the world real value by offering them cutting-edge solutions that make their networks smarter and their users more secure. At Allot, you’ll have the opportunity to develop professionally and personally in a dynamic environment with like-minded people who always go the extra mile to succeed.

We are looking for an experienced, highly organized Senior Technical Project Manager to join our R&D organization. This is a strategic and operational role at the heart of our product development lifecycle: you will own the end-to-end planning and delivery of software releases, lead cross-functional coordination between R&D, QA, DevOps, and Product, and take responsibility for the health of our release process as a whole.

You will work closely with R&D leadership, team leads, and product managers (from different global locations) - driving major releases independently, mentoring more junior project managers/coordinators, and shaping the methodologies and tools the whole department uses. This position is based in Madrid, Spain (working in a hybrid model)

What You'll Do

• End-to-End Release Ownership: Independently own the planning and delivery of multiple, often complex or overlapping software releases — from scoping through deployment — including project scope, schedule, and content, with full accountability for quality.
• Team & Cross-Functional Leadership: Lead teams with participation from different functions within the organization (R&D, QA, DevOps, Product) and, where appropriate, external sub-contractors; work cross-functionally and establish positive relationships with key internal stakeholders.
• Execution & Tracking: Drive releases through the full SDLC, planning and scheduling project timelines and milestones using appropriate tools, tracking progress against plan, and identifying slippage or blockers early.
• Dependencies & Critical Path: Identify and manage project dependencies and critical paths across teams.
• Conflict Resolution & Stakeholder Management: Identify and resolve issues and conflicts within R&D, coordinating and aligning R&D, QA, DevOps, Product, and management stakeholders.
• Risk & Change Management: Manage risks and mitigation plans, and manage scope/schedule changes with minimal disruption.
• Reporting & Executive Visibility: Build and own release dashboards, status reports, and go/no-go decision materials using tools such as Jira, Confluence, and AI tools; present plan and status to all relevant stakeholders, including senior leadership.
• Metrics & Continuous Improvement: Measure and analyze project metrics to foster a continuous improvement culture; run post-release retrospectives, document lessons learned, and drive organization-wide process improvements.
• Process Ownership & Methodology: Define, implement, and continuously improve project and release management processes, templates, and standards across the R&D organization — not just for your own releases.

• 3+ years of proven experience in project management in software project delivery with a clear focus on metrics and continuous improvement.
• Minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience with Agile delivery methodologies.
• Strong analytical skills and ability to meet deadlines, goals, and objectives of projects.
• Advanced skills in Atlassian tools (Jira, confluence)
• BSC (or higher) degree
• Ability to quickly learn new technologies
• Excellent communication skills in English on any level of the organization
• Excellent analytical skills and a people's person
• Ability to work in a multi-cultural environment

An Advantage

• Proven project management experience gained in a telecommunication, security environment
• Agile Practitioner Certification (SAFe, PMI-ACP, etc.)
• Knowledge in microservices technologies
• Experience of IT Security
• Good understanding of Generative AI, AI agents, or AI-driven automation, and how these can be applied to improve software delivery processes.
