Transparency matters! While we’re not actively hiring for a Chief of Delivery Operations at this moment, we’re always excited to connect with talented leaders who share our vision for innovation. If you’re interested in being part of our journey, we’d love to hear from you! Please do apply and we’ll reach out to you in the near future when this position becomes available - thank you!

CORAS is seeking a VP-level operator to serve as our Chief of Delivery Ops—a mission-focused internal execution lead who ensures that every internal project, initiative, and cross-functional improvement is scoped, scheduled, and delivered on time. This role is not customer-facing—it’s about fixing the machine behind the machine.

You will be responsible for making sure we hit what we commit to, internally. You’ll set schedules, run internal reviews, escalate blockers, and hold people accountable - clearly, constructively, and consistently.

Key Responsibilities:

• Execution Management

• Own the internal project schedule across engineering, product, ops, infrastructure, and AI teams
• Run a weekly internal “Delivery Ops” review
• Track commitments, call out slippage, and enforce accountability

• Cross-Team Orchestration

• Drive coordination across engineering, solution delivery, and internal GBT/LLM initiatives
• Ensure handoffs between teams don’t drop
• Own outcomes for “internal customers”—not just plans

• Operational Maturity

• Systematize internal delivery rhythms (sprints, roadmap tracking, internal tooling launches, etc.)
• Implement light governance processes (commitments, blockers, resolutions—not bureaucracy)
• Partner withthe President & CTOon org-wide visibility dashboards

• Cultural Enforcement

• Build a no-excuses execution culture
• Raise the bar for schedule discipline across every internal initiative
• Apply constructive pressure to move initiatives forward and elevate outcomes.

Qualifications:

• 8–12+ years in operational leadership roles (e.g., PMO, technical program management, internal ops)
• Experience in a high-growth SaaS or software company (GovTech / DoD preferred, not required)
• Exceptional ability to track, challenge, and deliver on cross-functional priorities
• Comfortable working directly with C-level leaders and enforcing deadlines with engineering and product
• Strong systems thinker: understands how org structures, workflows, and tooling intersect
• Bonus: Familiarity with LLM/AI delivery models, Agile + mission-critical software environments
• Strong capability in MS Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint).
• Strong technical and proposal writing experience, particularly for Air Force and DoD-related projects.
• Prior experience handling opportunities across multiple sectors (i.e., Civilian, Health, Defense) with a specific emphasis on Air Force and DoD.
• Proven success managing multiple capture opportunities at once, particularly in the Air Force and DoD space.
