Technical Delivery Manager

Role Description

As a key member of the Project Services Team, the Technical Delivery Manager (TDM) is responsible for the end-to-end technical delivery of client projects, ensuring seamless execution while maintaining alignment with PMO policies and standards. The TDM leads small technical teams through coordination, accountability, and hands-on involvement—not through personnel management, but by driving delivery outcomes with ownership and technical leadership.

The TDM has a broad technical foundation across systems infrastructure, Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, networking, and migration projects. While not required to be a subject matter expert in every discipline, this role demands a strong understanding of each area to guide engineers, make informed technical decisions, and ensure quality delivery.

This individual will also act as a trusted technical consultant for client leadership, often engaging with C-suite executives or primary IT contacts to ensure confidence, clarity, and successful project outcomes. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, client-facing environment and has the ability to balance strategic direction with tactical execution.
