Who’s Clearcover? 

Clearcover is the smarter car insurance company. We use powerful technology to offer everyday drivers better coverage for less money. We’re proud to be one of the fastest growing startups in Chicago, and we’re currently looking to add a few more extraordinary people to our team.

What’s an Agile Program Manager at Clearcover?

Reporting to the Director of Delivery Management, Program Managers work closely with the Product and Engineering teams to develop cross functional capability delivery plans. These plans require close engagement with the scrum teams that you will rely upon. It is the Program Manager’s job to understand the componentry that makes up the delivery of a capability, seek risk mitigation opportunities wherever possible, and monitor progress through implementation. Finally, the Program Manager should seek every opportunity to improve the way we deliver as an organization via direct involvement and influence.

 What will you do as an Agile Program Manager?

  • Lead delivery of capabilities across product delivery teams to meet the needs to the business.
  • Work closely with Engineering and Product to establish plans, effectively monitor and, as needed, thoughtfully adjust as work progresses.
  • Hold the team and other functions accountable for delivery and dependencies, respectively.
  • Collaborate with all functions to put together a comprehensive understanding of the path to deliver, considerate of all risks, assumptions and predictions.
  • Creatively and resourcefully mediate and resolve delivery team conflicts to maintain effectiveness of the teams.
  • Work with leadership to understand the foundations of delivery success and take ownership of solving them.
  • Identify and offer solutions to organizational challenges and opportunities to ensure a constant focus on improvement.

What do you have as an Agile Program Manager?

  • 8+ years of progressively responsible experience in software delivery management
  • Experience managing projects that use Scrum and Kanban methodologies
  • Clear and effective communication, both verbally and in writing
  • Experience working with Atlassian’s JIRA, Confluence, and Google’s suite of products
  • Experience delivering with web applications at scale
  • Strong interpersonal skills with strengths in empathy and respect

And some nice-to-haves:

  • Start-up/entrepreneurial experience
  • Professional Scrummaster (PSM 1), Scaled Professional Scrum (SPS) or equivalent experience

What's in it for you?

  • Unlimited PTO, we hire adults
  • Equity for all employees, so you own a piece of the pie too
  • Dental and Vision, we've got you covered 100%
  • Medical, we cover the vast majority of your premiums to make the cost of you and your family's coverage affordable. Plus, we contribute to your HSA and HRA (cha-ching)
  • We invest in your future by contributing 3% of your salary to a 401(K), even if you don't
  • Come to work pre-taxed through our FSA commuter benefits
  • and yes, we have unlimited LaCroix, beer, snacks and the occasional ice cream social (for once we’re back in the office!)
