Job description

Technical Delivery Lead (East Coast, US)

Lateral stands for technology excellence. We’re a profitable, award‑winning design and technology company with over 20 years of experience launching bold ventures and transforming businesses. A globally distributed team of 200+ experts united by a shared purpose: the continuous pursuit of quality.

What You’ll Do

As a Technical Delivery Lead at Lateral, you’ll be the connective tissue between our clients’ business goals and the technology we build to achieve them. You won’t be the most technical person in the room but you’ll understand technology well enough to guide the conversation, translate between business and engineering, and ensure that what we deliver genuinely moves the needle.

• Partner with client stakeholders to understand their business objectives, metrics, and value drivers.
• Translate those into actionable project scopes, delivery plans, and clear technical requirements.
• Work closely with engineers, architects, and designers to align on approach, priorities, and constraints, turning business outcomes into deliverable features.
• Serve as the main technical point of contact for the client: set expectations, surface risks early, and ensure communication is transparent, structured, and human.
• Track delivery not just by milestones and dates, but by business impact, measuring whether the solution achieves its intended outcomes.
• Identify opportunities for improvement or expansion by helping clients see where technology can generate additional value.
• Champion clarity and accountability across distributed teams. Facilitate conversations that keep everyone focused on what matters most.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for thoughtful operators with both business sense and technical fluency. You must bring:

• 7+ years experience working in client‑facing delivery roles (e.g., Technical PM, Delivery Lead, Product Owner, or similar) where you’ve been responsible for both understanding business needs and guiding technical execution.
• The ability to speak both languages – you can talk tech: APIs, integrations, architecture, and delivery trade‑offs with engineers, but also product/business.
• Proven experience translating business objectives into software deliverables – you’ve turned ambiguity into clear scopes, requirements, and measurable outcomes.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills: you help teams make good decisions quickly.
• A background in software delivery environments, where projects are complex, multi‑disciplinary, and business‑critical.
• Comfort working across time zones and cultures. Our teams are remote and globally distributed.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Real Impact: You’ll work on meaningful products that make a measurable difference – from healthcare and commerce to sustainability and next‑gen tech.
• Remote‑First, Office Friendly: Work from wherever you’re most productive – home, co‑working space, or one of our offices. We’re a remote‑first company, but if you’re near an office, you’re welcome to drop in, collaborate in person, or work onsite regularly.
• An Outstanding Team: Talented, kind, and hard‑working people who care deeply about their craft – and about each other. No egos. No politics. Just professionals doing their best work.
• Growth: You’ll be supported in growing your craft, exploring new paths, and stepping into greater responsibility – at your own pace.
• A Culture of Excellence: We care deeply about doing the right thing – for our clients, our team, and ourselves. No burnout. No crunch. Just high‑quality work, delivered sustainably.
• Variety & Stability: We’re profitable, independent, and over a decade strong. Yet every project brings a fresh challenge. You’ll never be bored here.
