Senior Delivery Manager / Delivery Lead

Accellor is an AI-native services firm focused on delivering measurable business outcomes through advanced AI, data, and engineering capabilities. We help global innovators and Fortune 100 enterprises modernize their architectures, scale operations, and operationalize intelligence across the enterprise.

Our core focus centers on transforming advanced AI from proofs-of-concept into production-grade systems. Spanning AI solutions, robust data services, enterprise applications, and product engineering — we tailor our offerings to the distinct operational needs of industries such as healthcare, life sciences, telecom, retail, financial services, and technology.

Operating as an extension of our clients' teams, we combine design thinking with technology-agnostic architectures to ensure faster time-to-value and seamless system interoperability. From initial strategy to full-scale deployment, we build intelligent, connected ecosystems that drive sustained enterprise value and redefine the future of transformation.

Job Description:

Delivery execution & governance

• Own end-to-end delivery of one large program or 2–3 parallel engagements against committed scope, timeline, and quality.
• Run the delivery rhythm: planning, sprint cadence, status reporting, risk and dependency management, and escalation discipline.
• Keep delivery on plan; flag scope creep, slippage, and risk early and credibly.

Agentic & GenAI delivery leadership

• Lead delivery of agentic and GenAI solutions, applying the right rigour to non-deterministic systems — evaluations, guardrails, model/version drift, and human-in-the-loop gating.
• Set realistic, honest expectations with clients on what agentic systems can and cannot do today.
• Partner with the AI Labs and POD teams to move solutions from pilot to production reliably.

Team & POD leadership

• Lead and coach POD leads, Forward Deployed Engineers, and engineering teams; set standards and unblock the team.
• Manage staffing, ramp-up, and clean resource movement across engagements as priorities shift.
• Be the most senior delivery presence in the room — technically credible enough that the team respects your judgement.

Client & stakeholder management

• Be the trusted delivery point of contact for senior client stakeholders, including CIO-, VP-, and director-level.
• Translate between client objectives and technical reality; protect the relationship while holding firm on scope and quality.
• Navigate a multi-vendor environment and keep the engagement positioned as a confident, neutral advisor.

Delivery health & efficiency

• Keep teams efficient and right-sized; manage utilisation and cost discipline within the agreed staffing envelope.
• Surface commercial risks (scope creep, change requests, staffing pressure) early to the Practice Head.

Requirements:

• 10+ years total experience, with 5+ years in delivery leadership inside a services or consulting model.
• Demonstrated track record running both a large, multi-team program and parallel engagements — so the flex between the two modes is proven, not aspirational.
• Genuine, hands-on understanding of agentic and GenAI delivery: evaluations, guardrails, human-in-the-loop, and the realities of shipping non-deterministic systems.
• Strong overall technical depth — these are complex, production-grade agentic AI applications, and the delivery lead must be able to engage credibly on architecture, integration, and engineering trade-offs, not just process.
• Familiarity with common multi-agent frameworks and orchestration patterns (e.g. LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel) and the major cloud AI & data stacks (Azure, AWS, GCP).
• Credible data-platform delivery experience — having shipped a real data foundation (e.g. lakehouse / Fabric / Databricks / Snowflake or equivalent), not just consumed one.
• Solid understanding of business processes and how AI solutions map to real business outcomes — able to connect what the team builds to the value the client is after.
• Track record delivering for large enterprise clients (Fortune 500 / Fortune 100), with awareness of enterprise security, compliance, and data governance expectations at that scale.
• Strong senior-stakeholder presence and the ability to say no credibly when scope drifts.
• Player-coach posture: senior enough to own a portfolio, hands-on enough to earn the team’s technical respect.
