Job Description

We’re looking for an experienced Technical Delivery Manager to own client delivery end to end across our software, data and AI engagements – the person clients and our team both go to for how a project is really going.

Every DevIQ project pairs a delivery lead with a technical lead. Your partner owns architecture and engineering direction; you own the project: the client relationship, the plan, the commitments, and the outcome. As we take on more mid-market and larger clients, we need delivery leaders who work credibly with executives, handle ambiguity, and keep complex engagements on track without senior leadership stepping in.

This is not a coordinator role. You must understand the business problem and need as well as anyone on the team.You make the day-to-day calls,and when something does need escalation, you bring the problem, the data and a recommendation.

What you’ll own:

Client engagement

• Trust and communication. Own the client relationship for delivery at every level, from dev teams to executive sponsors. You have standing authority to engage senior client stakeholders directly, and client escalations come to you first. Deliver critical news early and plainly.
• Expectations and ambiguity. Turn loosely defined goals into shared, written expectations. You ensure every task and action item has a clear owner, and chase it down if there's an ownership gap.
• Commercial awareness. Keep scope, budget and margin in view. Negotiate scope changes directly with the DevIQ engineering team and the client, and pass follow-on opportunities to our account team.

Project administration

• Planning and commitments. Build realistic plans with your technical lead, make commitments the team can keep, and re-plan quickly when priorities shift.
• Visibility and delivery discipline. Know the real state of the project, not just whether the dashboard is green. Run the cadence that keeps delivery predictable and keep clients, team and leadership informed at the right level.
• AI-enabled operations. Use AI tools every day to plan, report, surface risk and cut administrative overhead, and help your team do the same.

The team

• Partner with your technical lead as an equal, and mentor the project team to the same standard you’re held to.
• Partner with your sales and account team to protect and grow the account collectively.

Qualifications

Required:

• 8+ years in technology delivery , with a track record of leading client-facing engagements end to end in consulting, agency or professional services. You owned the outcome, not just the status report.
• Trust and communication: You’ve been the client’s named point of contact and escalation, including with executives. You’ve delivered hard news and handled difficult conversations without backup in the room. Additionally, you establish trust with the DevIQ sales, account, and engineering teams to ensure collective ownership and success.
• Expectations and ambiguity: You’ve taken loosely defined initiatives to clear scope, shared expectations and a delivered result.
• Commercial awareness: You’ve managed engagement scope, budget and change requests, and you understand how a services project makes or loses money.
• Planning and commitments: You build plans teams believe in, and you re-plan quickly and honestly when reality changes.
• Visibility and delivery discipline: You’ve run Agile or hybrid delivery cadences, and leaders trust your read on project health because it’s accurate, not optimistic.
• AI-enabled operations: You use AI tools in your daily work, with a strong preference for Claude, and are eager to push further.
• You lead without direct authority and are comfortable holding people accountable.

Technical working knowledge:

You’re comfortable in technical conversations about cloud, data and AI solutions. You can follow and challenge architecture tradeoffs and represent a technical problem credibly to a client. You don’t need to design the solution; however, you do need to understand it and help the client translate the businessimpact and outcomes.

Backgrounds that tend to fit:

• Delivery Manager, Solution Delivery, Program Delivery Lead, or Engagement Manager at a reputable consultancy or digital agency.
• Came up through hands-on roles such as project manager, product owner, Architect, Scrum Master, business analyst or implementation lead.
• Startup or small-firm experience where you wore several hats.
• Delivery across a range of industries and client sizes, from startups to enterprises.
• Industry certifications such as Claude, Databricks, AWS or Azure are a big plus. A technical degree is not required.
