Manager, Delivery Excellence
- Lead, grow, and mentor a team of Delivery Excellence Managers; own team performance, operating rhythms, and career development.
- Establish prescriptive delivery playbooks, templates, and operating standards (SSO, people data, connectors, readiness gates) to ensure consistent, high-quality deployments at scale.
- Own end‑to‑end delivery governance across your team’s accounts: kickoff, plan, deploy, go‑live, handoff, and renewal‑readiness, including proactive risk management and escalation handling.
- Set and report on portfolio‑level KPIs (deployment velocity, time‑to‑value, adoption, satisfaction, ROI proxies), and drive continuous improvement against these metrics.
- Partner with Sales, Solution Architects, AI Outcomes Managers, Support, and R&D to ensure a seamless customer journey and accelerate value realization post‑launch.
- Engage with executive sponsors and customer program leads to align on goals, joint success plans, and measurable outcomes; serve as a strategic advisor when tradeoffs arise.
- Systematize feedback loops from field to product; influence roadmap and readiness (connectors, deployment tooling, admin UX, observability) with clear business impact cases.
- Raise the delivery bar: improve onboarding processes, documentation, playbooks, and tooling; champion operational excellence across planning, execution, and closeout.
- 6+ years in customer-facing delivery, implementation, technical account management, or consulting for enterprise SaaS; 2+ years leading/managing delivery or customer success/PS teams.
- Strong understanding of SDLC and modern delivery practices (Agile/DevOps), with the ability to guide hands-on work in SSO setup, people data, and enterprise connector configuration.
- Proven record of building playbooks, standardizing processes, and running delivery at scale with clear KPIs and continuous improvement cycles.
- Executive presence and clear communication; comfortable leading escalations, aligning cross‑functional stakeholders, and making outcome‑oriented decisions.
- Analytical, systems-thinking mindset; adept at diagnosing deployment blockers and translating field insights into product/process enhancements.
- Cloud fluency (AWS, Azure, or GCP). One of the following—or willingness to obtain within 90 days—is a plus: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, Microsoft Certified Azure Fundamentals, or Google Cloud Digital Leader.
