Acting as the connective tissue between Sales, Delivery, Solution Architects, and client stakeholders, you’ll ensure data-led commitments translate into measurable outcomes and long-term partnerships.

• Validate SOWs and commercials to ensure feasibility, profitability, and alignment with client data goals
• Coordinate multiple delivery streams across data engineers, data scientists, analytics specialists, data architects, product owners, and fellow Delivery Managers—supporting both mature data organizations and greenfield team buildouts. Outcome: High-performing, data-focused delivery teams operating within governance models you design and continuously refine
• Establish and run delivery governance with data-centric KPIs, risk frameworks, quality gates, and escalation paths—leveraging best practices across modern cloud and analytics ecosystems
• Spot and cultivate growth opportunities by recommending data capability roadmaps, platform optimizations, and AI/analytics extensions
• Contribute to account strategy and presales, mentor junior Delivery Managers, and foster a consultative, data-first culture focused on business outcomes
