We’re looking for a Delivery Lead / Senior Delivery Lead who can push our delivery craft
forward, coach and manage a team of delivery managers, and support some of the most
complex engagements in our studio.
We’ve been helping our clients build products that users love for the past two decades, and we
have recently joined a large consulting company to help us accelerate our mission: To help the most
impactful organizations in the world drive sustainable and progressive growth. Our clients range
from scaleups to large multinationals, and the problem sets are as diverse as the wide range of
industries we work with.
Delivery management is at the core of how we create value for both our organization and our
clients. Our delivery managers have a deep understanding of the software lifecycle, product
management, project management, and client services. They are critical to some of our most
complex engagements, as they are able to both articulate and develop comprehensive plans.
Their role also includes understanding the business and technical requirements for success so
they can anticipate / mitigate risk, foster collaboration, and unblock challenges.
The successful candidate will not only take on the leadership of our existing delivery
management team, but will also be influential in how we integrate our delivery expertise into
our new powerful platform. As a people-centric organization, we are seeking a leader who can
quickly context switch between coaching / mentoring their team and providing tangible value to
our clients.
