Key Responsibilities

Run delivery operations and capacity

• Plan global capacity and resources for instructors and consultants.
• Forecast demand two or more quarters ahead.

• Build and maintain operational dashboards for the VP and leadership team.
• Partner with Finance on delivery forecasts, budgets, cost control and revenue recognition.
• Review quality and financial results together so efficiency gains never come at the expense of the client experience.

Raise service delivery excellence

• Define what excellent Prosci delivery looks like and build a global delivery quality framework, including standards, session observations and quality audits.
• Establish and lead the instructor and consultant quality program: onboarding, certification, performance reviews, coaching and exit decisions.
• Own the client experience from booking through post-session follow-up.
• Run the client feedback loop: collect, analyze and act on feedback, and share insights with Product and Content.

• Own or co‑own delivery systems (PSA/ERP, scheduling, LMS, BI) and drive adoption.
• Identify and implement automation and AI opportunities that let delivery scale without growing headcount at the same rate.
