lavori da Head in località Singapore

At Aleph, we design human experiences by asking the right questions. Here, you’d find a curious breed of creative engineers spread across the globe, specializing in craft, strategy, and technology. With a keen ear to the ground, we turn big dreams into user-first digital solutions by design. Through rigorous prototyping, close collaboration, and responsive engineering, we commit to creating a future that leaves our craft, community, and clients better than before we began.

Aleph Singapore’s delivery has grown in recent years and we are strategising on building a Delivery Management within the organisation. The Delivery Management manages projects from kick-off to delivery on time, on budget, and on brief. It is everyone’s go-to place for the project. Clients and internal team members rely on you for everything they need to know about a project; what to expect, what to do next, and where they need to be. Equally as important is the commercial value of what the department delivers; both top line revenue and the profit that the work is delivering.

The Head of Delivery is responsible for setting strategic direction for delivery management, defining and implementing standards and processes, managing the team across a broad portfolio of accounts, and successfully implementing recovery for project crisis situations. You will have a fascination in all things digital. You want to know how things work and you are always on the look-out for new tools, services and ways of doing things.

You will have a proven ability to successfully deliver the largest projects/programmes. You have strong consulting skills and you build strong relationships with both clients and all parts of the business agency to define viable approaches/methodologies in line with relevant industry standards and best practices.

You will represent the delivery team within the business and ensure their views are made clear to the executive management team. You will ensure the individuals within delivery management are aligned and function as a team.

Attitude is every bit as important as skills and experience. You will bring an energy and passion to the role that inspires those in the department and within the wider agency. You need to be a fantastic communicator both internally and with clients and other stakeholders.
