Manager, Delivery Excellence
About Glean:
Founded in 2019, Glean is an innovative AI-powered knowledge management platform designed to help organizations quickly find, organize, and share information across their teams. By integrating seamlessly with tools like Google Drive, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, Glean ensures employees can access the right knowledge at the right time, boosting productivity and collaboration. The company’s cutting-edge AI technology simplifies knowledge discovery, making it faster and more efficient for teams to leverage their collective intelligence.
Glean was born from Founder & CEO Arvind Jain’s deep understanding of the challenges employees face in finding and understanding information at work. Seeing firsthand how fragmented knowledge and sprawling SaaS tools made it difficult to stay productive, he set out to build a better way - an AI-powered enterprise search platform that helps people quickly and intuitively access the information they need. Since then, Glean has evolved into the leading Work AI platform, combining enterprise-grade search, an AI assistant, and powerful application- and agent-building capabilities to fundamentally redefine how employees work.

- 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.

- 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.
