Project Description:
* This role coordinates delivery and releases for an in-car accessibility product within an Android-based infotainment system, with a primary focus on meeting legal and regulatory accessibility requirements.
* Core responsibilities include ensuring compliance, traceability, and correct implementation of accessibility-related changes, while driving quality improvements, defect resolution, and predictable, disciplined releases. Occasional support for new feature development is also expected.
* Due to the nature of accessibility work, even small changes can have significant user and legal impact, making precision, validation, and strong execution essential. The role operates in a highly complex stakeholder environment, where stakeholders are typically hands-off during day-to-day execution but become highly involved and escalatory when issues arise. Successfully navigating these situations—through transparency, risk anticipation, sound judgment, and resolution under pressure—is a critical aspect of the role.
* The role works closely with a small team of Android developers. The exact split of responsibilities will be defined once the new hire is onboarded, allowing flexibility based on individual strengths, experience, and evolving product and delivery needs.
Responsibilities:
* Product & Backlog Management
* Manage and maintain the product backlog in Jira, with a primary focus on accessibility-related bug
* fixes, improvements, and release work
* Support new accessibility features by preparing, refining, and tracking requirements and acceptance
* criteria with stakeholder
* Clarify functional, UX, and accessibility requirements with stakeholders and engineering
* Ensure backlog items are well-defined, testable, and ready for implementation
* Sprint, PI & Delivery Execution
* Plan and facilitate sprint and PI activities with the development team
* Coordinate sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives, and execution tracking
* Monitor progress, dependencies, and risks across sprints and PIs
* Sequence and balance work within agreed priorities and constraints to support timely delivery
* Accessibility, Quality & Change Coordination
* Coordinate defect fixes, accessibility improvements, and change requests
* Assess and document impacts, dependencies, and delivery risks, especially where accessibility or
* compliance may be affected
* Highlight trade-offs and potential impacts early and transparently
* Escalate complex or high-impact topics to the appropriate stakeholders
* Release & Operational Ownership
* Coordinate end-to-end release activities, including readiness tracking, validation status, and
* communication
* Support CI/CD, build, test, and deployment processes in collaboration with engineering
* Track release quality, regression risks, and production issues
* Coordinate verification activities on test benches and organize debugging sessions when required
* Management of test specifications (update existing test specifications if required, create test runs for
* external testers, etc.)
* Stakeholder Communication
* Represent the team and topic in stakeholder meetings, like calls with VW Group brands or
* representatives of legal and regulatory departments
* Act as the primary coordination point for day-to-day delivery and release topics
* Communicate progress, risks, and release status clearly and consistently
* Support alignment between product, UX, engineering, and validation stakeholders
