Job description

Foresight helps leaders running infrastructure capital programmes move from reactive project delivery to proactive control of risk and outcomes.

We’re building AI-driven software that continuously analyses complex schedules and surfaces the signals teams need to make better, faster decisions. Construction is one of the least digitised industries in the world. We’re building tools that don’t meaningfully exist today, solving problems few teams have attempted at this scale.

Our mission: give every team the clarity and confidence to deliver projects on time, every time. Because in high-stakes construction, the real risk isn’t complexity — it’s being too late to act.

We recently raised a $25M Series A led by Macquarie Capital Venture Capital, with participation from Creandum (who led our Seed), isai Build, i2bf Global Ventures, and Somersault Ventures. Revenue has tripled every year since 2023.

We are looking for a VP of Delivery to completely reinvent our delivery function. Moving past traditional customer success, you will lead a high-leverage, high-urgency team (comprised of top-tier ex-consultants and technical AI specialists) that bridges the gap between our core platform and our customers. You will serve as the operational backbone that guarantees our clients achieve their target engineering and scheduling outcomes. You will build and scale the organization, driving implementations, technical adoption and continuous field-to-product feedback loops, and ultimately drive revenue through expansion while minimizing churn.

• Recruit, mentor and scale a world-class Delivery organization. Define hiring standards, onboarding programs, and career progression frameworks
• Own the technical strategy and delivery excellence for our most strategic accounts.
• Oversee the scoping, design and rollout of complex technical solutions into our customer environments.

Personal characteristics

• High-energy leader who thrives in a demanding, fast-paced environment and embraces the high levels of ownership required for success.

• Direct and transparent communicator who excels in a culture of radical candor, providing and receiving straightforward feedback to drive rapid improvement.

• Entrepreneurial thinker with an “earned trust” mindset, demonstrating the ability to deliver results autonomously while working across global time zones.

• Adaptable operator who remains comfortable with ambiguity and is capable of making deterministic decisions in a probabilistic, high-pressure industry.

• Intellectually agile leader who stays several steps ahead of the organization’s needs and is willing to challenge assumptions to develop the best possible solutions.

• Real ownership from day one. This isn’t a layer-3-in-a-big-org role. You see a problem, you own it. Your decisions will play out in weeks, not years, and materialize in steel and concrete.

• Work directly with the founders. Close access to experienced, mission-driven leadership who are leading academic voices on why mega-projects fail, and have real-world scars to match.

• The momentum is real. Revenue has tripled every year since 2023. We’re becoming the category leader, with the gap widening every quarter. This is already happening, not a future bet.

• Backed to build properly. A $25M Series A gives us the runway to do this right. We’re only just getting started.

• A defined growth path. This seat is built to grow into more client-facing, sales-oriented work as you prove yourself — not stay static.

• Total compensation range: $225,000–$275,000+, based on experience and fit against the requirements above, and equity in a fast-growing, well-funded startup.
