Head of Technology Delivery & Execution

$170k - $220k

Full-time

Solomon Page

Our client is seeking an experienced Head of Technology Delivery & Execution to serve as the operational leader of a growing Technology organization. Reporting directly to the CTO, this Senior Director-level role combines the responsibilities of a Technology Chief of Staff, Technology COO, portfolio leader, and delivery executive. This is not a traditional PMO leadership position. They are looking for a highly credible execution leader who can transform technology strategy into measurable outcomes by driving prioritization, governance, capacity planning, delivery excellence, financial discipline, and organizational accountability. The successful candidate will establish and lead the operating model for Technology, ensuring that the right work is prioritized, sequenced, resourced, executed, measured, and communicated effectively across strategic initiatives and business-as-usual operations. The ideal leader brings executive presence, operational rigor, sound judgment, strong stakeholder management skills, technical fluency, and the ability to influence outcomes across both technology and business teams. This role represents a unique opportunity to shape how an entire Technology organization operates. You will partner directly with the CTO to improve execution, establish operating discipline, enhance transparency, optimize technology investments, and ensure technology delivers measurable business value.
If you are energized by building operating excellence, driving accountability, and leading large-scale technology execution at the executive level, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
Compensation for this role varies by experience, with a base salary ranging from $170,000 to $220,000 and total compensation ranging from $265,000 to $300,000. The client is unable to provide sponsorship at this time, so only U.S. citizens or Green Card holders should apply.
