In this role, you will act as the single orchestration point between Sales, Delivery, Solutions, and Client stakeholders.

• Lead smooth deal-to-delivery transitions, ensuring SOWs, commercials, and delivery plans are aligned and executable
• Align Delivery Managers and Tech Leads on objectives, milestones, and quality standards
• Establish delivery governance (steering cadences, health KPIs, and escalation paths) while proactively managing risks and scope evolution

Requirements

• Background: 8+ years in IT services, consulting, or digital delivery, including experience managing complex, multi-stream projects and interacting with senior client stakeholders (Director to CxO level)
• Core Experience: Client engagement leadership, delivery/program management, pre-sales/solution shaping, or account/portfolio management
• AI Delivery Familiarity: Understanding of enterprise AI, generative AI, or machine learning delivery lifecycles, and how to successfully orchestrate AI-driven solutions alongside traditional software, data, and cloud initiatives
• Domain Expertise: Strong grasp of commercial models (T&M, fixed-price, managed services), SOWs, and enterprise IT delivery (software, data, cloud, platforms)
• Key Competencies: Exceptional executive communication, stakeholder management, commercial acumen (scope and margin management), and systems thinking to connect sales, delivery, and operations
