- Lead delivery rhythms covering sprint planning, backlog management, execution tracking, releases, forecasts, risks, and dependencies.
- Ensure delivery teams follow agreed engineering standards, technical direction, and delivery processes.
- Translate client business problems into clear technical direction and ensure teams remain aligned with expected outcomes and business value.
- Lead product demonstrations and customer-facing sessions, ensuring solutions are clearly communicated and aligned with client expectations.
- Act as the primary delivery lead across engagements, extending traditional project management responsibilities with technical and operational leadership.

- Establish delivery governance, KPIs, reporting, and accountability mechanisms to improve predictability and execution quality.
- Identify, manage, and escalate delivery and technical risks while proactively removing impediments to execution.
- Monitor delivery economics, utilization, scope, margin, and account-health signals, escalating risks and opportunities early.
- Manage and develop delivery team members or team leads through coaching, feedback, performance support, and career development.
- Foster a healthy, accountable team culture focused on ownership, quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
- Lead client stakeholder conversations, set expectations, steer discussions, and reframe priorities when required.
- Partner closely with Customer Success to align delivery execution, communication cadence, client expectations, and account objectives.
- Collaborate with Solution Architects, QA, DevOps, and shared technical services to ensure delivery plans are practical and executable.
- Serve as a primary escalation point for delivery and execution issues involving internal teams or client stakeholders.
- Communicate delivery progress in terms of business outcomes and value realization rather than task completion alone.
- Contribute to account strategy by identifying risks, opportunities, innovation initiatives, and potential AI use cases that can strengthen client outcomes.
- Support performance, compensation, growth, and organizational decisions in collaboration with leadership.
Requirements:
- Bring 8+ years of experience in software delivery environments, with significant responsibility for delivery execution and technical team leadership.
- Demonstrate a strong understanding of modern software development practices, system design principles, and architectural patterns.

- Demonstrate sound judgment under pressure and the ability to balance delivery speed, quality, technical considerations, and commercial outcomes.
- Have a trusted leadership presence and the ability to lead through clarity, accountability, influence, and credibility rather than formal authority.

- Experience leading teams or engagements in Data and Analytics, technology consulting, professional services, or SaaS environments is advantageous.
- Experience managing distributed or remote teams is desirable.
- Agile, Scrum, project management, or cloud certifications are considered a plus but are not required.
