General

Summary:

We’re looking for a Senior Delivery Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of AI, machine learning, GenAI, and agentic AI initiatives while directly leading and developing a small to mid-sized team. You’ll oversee delivery across multiple cross-functional teams, bringing together data science, engineering, product, platform, security, architecture, and business partners to create predictable, consistent delivery and measurable business outcomes.

This is a people leadership and delivery leadership role, not a hands-on coding position. The ideal candidate is an experienced technology leader who has delivered AI/ML, GenAI, MLOps, or complex data solutions and has enough technical depth to effectively engage with and challenge technical teams. Success will depend heavily on team leadership, delivery execution, stakeholder management, and budget and resource ownership.

Job Specifications:

Bachelor’s degree in a related field preferred, or equivalent experience.
5+ years of technology delivery experience leading complex, cross-functional initiatives.

People management experience, including coaching, developing, and building high-performing technical teams.

Experience delivering AI/ML, GenAI, MLOps, ML pipeline, or data-platform solutions, with meaningful AI/ML delivery exposure.

Working knowledge of the ML/LLM lifecycle, including model evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and production support.

Technical depth to effectively engage with data scientists and engineers and understand concepts such as RAG, model evaluation, integration, and production readiness.

Experience managing budgets, forecasting, staffing, and resource allocation.

Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, including the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences.

Experience with Agile/Lean delivery practices and leading through ambiguity and changing priorities.

Familiarity with agentic AI, cloud AI platforms, and responsible AI practices preferred.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

Directly manage, coach, and develop a small to mid-sized team, building a high-performing, accountable team.

Lead end-to-end delivery of AI/ML, GenAI, and agentic AI initiatives from discovery and proof of concept through production and adoption.

Lead delivery across multiple initiatives and scrum teams, ensuring priorities, commitments, and business outcomes are achieved.

Partner with Product Owners, technical teams, and business stakeholders to establish priorities, success measures, delivery milestones, and production readiness.

Identify and resolve delivery risks and dependencies across data, engineering, platform, security, architecture, and business teams.
