• Collaborate with the Sales, Support, Operations, and Product teams to improve handoffs, align expectations, resolve cross-functional dependencies, and strengthen the overall client experience.
• Drive continuous improvement in delivery processes, playbooks, metrics, automation opportunities, and operating practices to increase consistency, efficiency, and predictability.
• Identify opportunities to expand client value while ensuring delivery commitments, scope considerations, and commercial implications are clearly understood.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in client delivery, implementation, program leadership, or professional services within SaaS, technology, financial services, or a similarly complex environment

• Experience partnering with product teams to translate client needs, implementation feedback, and recurring themes into actionable product insights and prioritization inputs
• Track record of building, improving, or enforcing delivery processes, governance models, implementation playbooks, metrics, and operating rhythms
• Experience leading and developing teams of project managers, business analysts, implementation consultants, or other delivery resources
• Strong commercial judgment, including experience managing delivery financials, margin performance, resource planning, revenue impact, and client commitments
