As a Technical Delivery Manager, you will play a pivotal role in leading complex infrastructure and technology projects—bridging strategy, execution, and delivery excellence.

You’ll work with cross-functional teams across geographies to deliver enterprise-scale solutions that improve resilience, efficiency, and user experience. This role demands a strong blend of technical depth, project delivery experience, and stakeholder management,combined with the ability to build and communicate a clear roadmap of priorities and outcomes.

We’re looking for pragmatic, hands‑on delivery leaders who can turn strategy into results, ensuring that technology changes are executed on time, within scope, and to the highest standards. The role will also help shape the adoption of AI‑augmented delivery practices, balancing automation, governance, and human oversight to improve delivery effectiveness across the enterprise.

Key Responsibilities
Project & Delivery Management
  • Lead the end‑to‑end delivery of global infrastructure and technology projects, from initiation through to handover.
  • Develop and maintain project plans, budgets, and schedules, ensuring delivery against milestones.
  • Identify, assess, and mitigate project risks; proactively resolve issues and dependencies.
  • Drive adoption of Agile, DevOps, and other modern delivery methodologies.
  • Identify and implement opportunities to improve delivery efficiency through AI‑assisted workflows and automation, including reporting, work item management, meeting summarization, documentation generation, and stakeholder communications.
Stakeholder & Team Leadership
  • Serve as the primary liaison between business stakeholders, engineering teams, and external vendors.
  • Facilitate cross‑functional collaboration across multiple regions and time zones.
  • Host regular team reviews, retrospectives, project updates and steering sessions to ensure transparency and alignment.
  • Mentor teams to build delivery discipline, accountability, and continuous improvement.
  • Drive adoption of approved enterprise AI capabilities and delivery practices across Global Technology teams, promoting responsible use and measurable productivity improvements.
Technical Leadership
  • Partner with specialists to ensure delivery aligns with security, compliance, information protection, data privacy, architecture, resilience, and operational standards.
  • Maintain sufficient cross‑domain awareness to facilitate informed delivery discussions and identify dependencies spanning Cloud (Azure, AWS, OCI), AI, Storage, Networking, Data, analytics (Microsoft Fabric), Microsoft 365, Identity and Access Management, End‑User Computing, Infrastructure Architecture, and Integration.
  • Coordinate change and project delivery for collaboration services and email technologies, including integrations and dependencies with security and enterprise platforms.
Vendor & Financial Management
  • Manage vendor relationships, contracts, and budgets related to assigned projects and platforms.
  • Oversee procurement activities, including quotes, purchase orders, and invoicing.
