• Build the delivery framework, governance and tooling from scratch
• Coordinate Engineering, Data Science and Product teams across multiple implementations
• Own risk, scope, milestones and escalation across live client programmes
• Create the product feedback loop between delivery and platform roadmap
• Design the transition from implementation into live service

Experience required

• Delivered within SaaS, AI, data platform or enterprise software environments
• Built delivery frameworks and operating models, not just managed projects within them
• Experience coordinating engineering teams and technical delivery across multiple clients
• Technical credibility across data platforms, SQL, ETL, APIs or cloud environments
