Data Meaning is a Business Intelligence and Data Analytics consulting firm. We deliver tailored solutions in business intelligence, data warehousing, data strategy, and project delivery for clients across the United States and beyond. Our consultants work remotely as one team, with a collaborative, inclusive, and delivery-focused culture.

We are hiring a mid-level Delivery Manager to own day-to-day delivery of client engagements from kickoff through close. This is a hands-on delivery role. You will typically run two to four concurrent projects — scope, schedule, budget, risk, and client communication — and keep internal teams and client stakeholders aligned.

This is not a practice-lead, people-manager, or sales role. You will flag staffing needs and expansion opportunities, follow established delivery standards, and elevate early. The right profile has about five to eight years of experience, including real time as a delivery or project manager on consulting or professional-services engagements.

• Own end-to-end delivery of assigned client engagements, including timelines, budgets, deliverables, and client expectations. Typical load is two to four concurrent projects.

• Lead project planning, estimation, and scoping in partnership with Sales, Implementation, and Professional Services.

• Coordinate and prioritize work across internal and client teams so delivery stays on time and on quality.

• Coordinate staffing for assigned accounts with the practice lead; raise capacity and utilization issues early rather than owning practice-wide resource planning.

• Identify, track, and mitigate risks, issues, dependencies, and scope changes; elevate clearly and early.

• Run delivery governance for assigned work: status reporting, steering updates, sprint and milestone reviews, and stakeholder communication.

• Create and maintain project documentation including roadmaps, project plans, RAID logs, and resource plans.

• Keep repositories for deliverables, budgets, and project documentation current; track financial performance of assigned projects against forecast.

• Serve as the primary day-to-day point of contact for assigned clients and protect satisfaction through the life of the engagement.

• Surface expansion and follow-on opportunities to Sales and account leadership. You do not own a sales quota or book of business.

• Follow firm delivery processes, standards, and templates, and suggest practical improvements from the work.

Requirements and stakeholder management

• Partner with clients to understand business challenges and turn them into clear, deliverable requirements.

• Facilitate requirements and planning sessions, and make sure acceptance criteria are agreed and documented.

• Work with technical teams to confirm that solutions match the agreed scope, timeline, and quality bar.

• Review deliverables against acceptance criteria and flag quality, timeline, or adoption gaps to the technical lead.

Required

• 5–8 years of professional experience.

• At least 3–5 of those years as a project or delivery manager on client engagements.

• Consulting or professional-services background strongly preferred. In-house project management alone is not the target profile.

• Proven success running more than one engagement at a time without dropping the fundamentals: estimation, planning, budgeting, RAID, status, and stakeholder alignment.

• Strong command of delivery fundamentals: estimation, planning, budgeting, resource coordination, and risk management.

• Experience tracking project financials (budget vs.…
