Senior Delivery Manager (AI-Driven Delivery)

Open 22d posting dated 2 weeks ago

Summary

Leads large-scale AI-driven software delivery projects for Fortune 500 clients, using GenAI to optimize risk forecasting, productivity, and reporting while managing teams of 50+ across the full product lifecycle.

We're looking for a Senior Delivery Manager to bring emerging trends in GenAI, Data, and Cloud into how we deliver for our Fortune Global 500 clients — not just what we deliver, but how the delivery itself is run.

You use AI as a delivery instrument: to forecast risk, evaluate team productivity, accelerate reporting, and sharpen decision-making. If you don't yet have deep AI delivery experience, you make up for it with strong hands-on technical depth and a clear appetite to lead AI-native delivery. If a constantly changing environment doesn't stop you from exceeding stakeholder and team expectations, and you can scale both products and teams across 50, 100, 200+ people, you're the leader we need.

Responsibilities

  • Lead projects from kick-off through go-live and post-production, aligning stakeholders around clearly defined success criteria
  • Own the delivery process end to end: requirements, scope, risk, quality, and budget
  • Apply GenAI across the delivery lifecycle — productivity evaluation, risk detection, status reporting, and data-driven decisions
  • Set and enforce product quality benchmarks, engaging the team to meet them
  • Facilitate UAT and production deployments; manage releases and environments
  • Prepare the WBS, resource plans, and delivery roadmap
  • Act as the primary stakeholder contact, communicating status, risk, and progress with data, not opinions
  • Interface with clients daily — demos, expectation management, and upskilling engineers on AI-augmented ways of working
  • Establish governance models, run Agile ceremonies, and define escalation, change, and risk-management procedures
  • Foster a collaborative environment; mentor, coach, and resolve people-management issues
  • Implement organizational best practices and embed AI tooling into team workflows

Requirements

  • 7+ years leading teams and projects, with at least five successful commercial enterprise deliveries
  • Confidence to lead 50+ people, including direct people management
  • Hands-on use of GenAI for productivity evaluation, delivery insight, and decision-making — or strong technical depth (see below) plus a track record of adopting new tooling fast
  • Production experience delivering Digital, Data, or Cloud projects
  • Command of the full product lifecycle, from pre-sales to post-production support
  • Background setting up Dev, QA, and BA processes on projects
  • Solid grasp of Agile, SAFe, and Kanban
  • Emotional intelligence, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and cultural awareness
  • Fluent English
  • Prior hands-on engineering experience (development, architecture, or platform)
  • Comfort reasoning about system architecture, environment landscapes, sizing, and delivery techniques
  • Ability to challenge technical estimates and trade-offs credibly with engineering teams

Nice to have

  • Experience embedding AI/GenAI tooling into delivery or SDLC workflows
  • Familiarity with DORA/flow metrics and data-driven delivery governance
