• Define project plans, resource needs, and timelines, aligning with customer expectations and business priorities.
• Lead discovery workshops to validate business requirements and translate them into scalable technical solutions.
• Collaborate with Solution Architects, Engineers, and Delivery Partners to deliver custom solutions that meet customer needs.
• Ensure a seamless transition from implementation to post-sales support by capturing configuration details and key account information.

• Represent Delivery Services in cross-functional initiatives with Product, Sales, Marketing, Engineering, and Support to support roadmap adoption and solution delivery.
• Partner with the PMO to support capacity planning, resourcing, and delivery prioritization across the region.

• Work closely with the Manager of Customer Delivery, Customer Solutions, and Delivery Partner leader to build an effective, end-to-end solution delivery ecosystem.

• 1–2+ years in a team lead or people leadership capacity (formal or informal).
• Proven ability to lead enterprise implementations with cross-functional coordination.
