Delivery Manager, Data & AI Solutions

Role Description

This is a founding role at a data and AI company — which means high ownership, direct client impact, and a real chance to shape how the company operates and grows.

• Lead complex, 0-to-1 engagements: taking ambiguous goals from mid-market leadership teams and turning them into working data systems and measurable business outcomes.
• Move between executive stakeholders and engineering teams, own the client relationship end-to-end, and help build the internal playbooks that make Paradox scalable.
• Report to the CEO of Paradox.
• Expect your career to take a step function up.
• If you want to build something, this is the role for you.

What You'll Own

• Client engagements, end-to-end:
  • Be the primary partner to clients — leading discovery, aligning stakeholders, defining scope, and staying accountable through launch and adoption.
  • Address real and often messy problems: unifying sales data across business units, building AI layers on operational systems, replacing spreadsheet reporting with effective solutions.
• Translating business problems into working systems:
  • Turn whiteboard conversations with clients into clear specs for engineers — ETL pipelines, semantic models, metric definitions, evaluation criteria.
  • Stay close through prioritization, testing, and rollout.
• Building the company, not just the client:
  • Help identify what's working across engagements and turn it into repeatable assets — delivery templates, data models, internal tools.
  • Contribute to proposals, shape solution approaches for prospective clients, and help Paradox improve with every project.

Qualifications

• 6-10 years in data, analytics, consulting, or similar roles where you led multiple projects and managed clients or customers (internal or external).
• Experience delivering data systems or products alongside engineers — pipelines, analytics platforms, AI-driven applications.
• Comfort moving from ambiguous business problems to clear engineering specs without losing the core objective.
• Client-facing experience in environments where stakeholders weren't always aligned and the path forward wasn't obvious.
• Genuine fluency with AI tools and a habit of incorporating them into your work.
• Bias for action: ability to write quick SQL queries, draft data definitions for feedback, or step into demos when necessary.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary + performance bonus
• 401(k) Plan
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Unlimited PTO
• Remote-first
• Annual company offsite
• Home office budget
• Conference budget
