About the role

Accountabilities

    • Own end-to-end delivery across assigned client engagements, including planning, execution cadence, scope management, quality, dependencies, and on-time outcomes.
    • 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.
    • Manage resource allocation and capacity planning across concurrent engagements while maintaining visibility into delivery performance.
    • 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.
      • Have hands-on experience delivering projects within Agile environments such as Scrum, Kanban, or similar methodologies.
      • Be familiar with at least one major cloud platform, such as Azure, AWS, or GCP, as well as modern DevOps practices and CI/CD concepts.
      • Have proven ability to manage delivery planning, execution, dependencies, and risks across multiple concurrent engagements.
      • Be proficient with delivery and project management tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or equivalent platforms.
      • Demonstrate experience leading, coaching, and developing technical teams, including providing performance feedback and supporting career growth.
      • Be comfortable operating as a people manager and contributing to performance and compensation decisions.
      • Possess strong communication and collaboration skills, particularly when working with Customer Success, technical teams, clients, and other cross-functional stakeholders.
      • 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.
      • A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is a plus.
      • 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.
      • Benefits:

        • Long-term, full-time employment.
        • Fully remote work.
        • Competitive salary in USD.
        • 20+ paid time-off days.
        • Opportunity to lead complex technology engagements and directly influence client outcomes.
        • Exposure to modern software delivery, cloud, DevOps, AI, data, and technology consulting environments.
