Identify systemic delivery challenges and implement improvements that increase organizational efficiency, predictability, and pace.
Bring data, automation, and portfolio insight into delivery decision-making, helping leaders understand progress, risks, dependencies, and investment trade-offs.

Necessary Skills and Experience:

Significant experience leading complex cross-functional programs, portfolios, or delivery organizations in software, platform, AI, developer tooling, or related technology environments.
Proven experience building, leading, and developing project, program, or delivery management teams.
Track record of defining operating models, delivery frameworks, governance practices, and execution standards that scale across teams.
Ability to influence senior partners, drive decisions, and build alignment in environments with competing priorities and high ambiguity.
Strong systems thinking, with the ability to link strategy, planning, dependencies, risks, resources, and outcomes throughout a complex organization.
Strong communication and leadership abilities, including the capacity to present progress, trade-offs, and risks clearly to senior leadership.
Experience using metrics, delivery data, and operational insight to improve execution quality and organizational decision-making.

Desired Skills and Experience:

Experience leading delivery across globally distributed teams and organizations.
Familiarity with portfolio planning, resource management, investment prioritization, and organizational operating models.
Experience improving delivery efficiency through automation, tooling, dashboards, or workflow redesign.
Hands-on use of AI to improve the speed, quality or scale of project management, including planning, risk tracking, dependency management, status reporting, decision support, workflow automation or portfolio insight.

In Return:

You will join a world-class team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of technology. As a key leader, you will have the opportunity to build our delivery practices and drive meaningful outcomes.
