Our goal is to bring together business acumen with full-stack technical know-how to develop innovative solutions for our clients’ most complex challenges.

Overview

The Sr. Technical Delivery Manager is responsible for driving successful outcomes across complex customer environments and large-scale technology programs. This is not a traditional PMO or Architect role. We are seeking an experienced delivery leader with strong infrastructure expertise, including experience delivering large-scale data center infrastructure and an understanding of the full delivery lifecycle, including electrical systems, fiber, and the technical disciplines required from planning through implementation.

The Senior Technical Delivery Manager is responsible for leading large-scale infrastructure, data center, AI, and high-performance compute (HPC) programs for one of WWT's strategic clients. This role serves as the executive point of accountability for delivery execution, customer satisfaction, financial performance, risk management, and operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities

• Own business and delivery outcomes, escalations and financial oversight for large-scale data center, AI infrastructure and HPC programs for a strategic enterprise client.

• Act as a trusted advisor to customer C-suite and senior technology leaders, earning a seat in their leadership discussions and standing operating cadences, and leading Executive Briefings, QBRs, steering committees, client workshops, executive presentations and strategic planning sessions.

• Establish the governance framework, KPIs, operating rhythm and executive communications that drive predictable execution across every workstream. Anticipate risks, dependencies and critical issues before they affect the customer.

• Provide executive oversight of data center buildouts, expansions, relocations and modernization, as well as GPU-based compute, HPC platforms, AI infrastructure, hybrid and private cloud, and capacity scaling initiatives, from planning through operational readiness and transition to operations.

• Partner with Sales leadership to shape pursuits, solution positioning and delivery strategy, and author or co-author SOWs, change orders and business cases. Validate effort and staffing so every deal can be delivered, freeing Sales to focus on the customer relationship. Contribute to annual account and pursuit planning.

• Turn delivery excellence into account growth by identifying and developing opportunities to expand WWT services across the client portfolio.

• Steward the financial health and performance of every program, including revenue, margin, forecasts, change orders, financial reporting and delivery reviews, balancing customer value with profitability.

• Drive accountability across OEM, third-party and internal teams spanning Data Center, Compute, Storage, Networking, Cloud, Private Cloud and AI solutions, with partners such as NVIDIA, Dell, Cisco and HPE.

• Orchestrate supply chain, logistics and deployment so hardware, partners and field teams arrive on schedule and rollouts stay on track.

• Own executive escalations and high-visibility recovery situations from start to resolution.

• Raise the bar for how WWT delivers by bringing best practices, mentoring delivery leaders and championing WWT's leadership principles and core values.

• Lead through influence across business stakeholders, Client Directors, Account Managers, architects, consultants and engineers, aligning every team to the customer's goals.

Required

• 12+ years delivering complex, multi-service infrastructure or transformation initiatives, including 5+ years in an executive delivery leadership role.

• Executive accountability for large-scale data center and/or AI infrastructure programs, with a strong grasp of the full lifecycle, including facilities, electrical, fiber, compute, storage and networking.

• Experience owning delivery for multi-million-dollar services programs and portfolios.

• Credibility as a trusted advisor to customer executives, with strong executive communication and presentation skills.

• A track record of leading executive steering committees, Executive Briefings and QBRs.

• Proven governance, risk management and escalation leadership, including turning around high-visibility engagements.

• Financial accountability for services delivery, including SOWs, change orders, forecasts and business cases.

• Success partnering with Sales on pursuits, solution shaping and account growth.

• Ability to lead through influence across large, matrixed internal, partner and customer teams.

• Command of multi-vendor programs with OEM and third-party partners such as NVIDIA, Dell, Cisco, HPE, NetApp, Pure Storage, Red Hat, VMware, Microsoft or AWS.

• AI infrastructure, GPU cluster or HPC delivery experience strongly preferred.

• Professional services or consulting background preferred.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience; PMP, ITIL or similar certifications a plus.
