Delivery Director - Data & AI (Data Platform)

Delivery Director - Data & AI (Data Platform Modernization) | Onsite, US | 15+ years Job Description We are seeking an accomplished Delivery Director with deep Data & AI expertise and a proven record of owning P&L for large, multi-client data platform modernization programs. This leader will drive parallel modernization engagements, oversee multi-disciplinary global teams, and deliver measurable business outcomes while shaping client strategy and transformation roadmaps. This is a delivery leadership role, not a program administration role: we are looking for someone who has personally led legacy-to-modern data platform transformations end to end. Key Responsibilities Own P&L, margin, and delivery outcomes for a portfolio of concurrent data platform modernization engagements. Lead legacy-to-modern platform transformations end to end: discovery, architecture alignment, migration planning, build, data validation, parallel runs, cutover, and hypercare. Drive accelerated, AI-enabled delivery: apply accelerators, code conversion tooling, and AI-assisted engineering to compress timelines and improve quality. Serve as the senior escalation point for clients and partners; manage executive stakeholders, delivery risk, and organizational change across client and internal teams. Govern and scale multi-shore delivery teams (onsite/offshore), ensuring operational excellence, predictable milestones, and client satisfaction on fixed-bid engagements. Champion solution and architecture reviews across data platforms, ensuring robust designs and safe cutover strategies. Build reusable delivery frameworks, playbooks, and knowledge assets that strengthen delivery maturity. Qualifications 15+ years in IT services/consulting with data platforms and analytics as the core expertise; 8+ years in delivery leadership. Proven P&L ownership on multi-million-dollar, multi-client programs. Demonstrated success leading data platform modernization programs (legacy to modern cloud platforms), including AI-enabled and accelerator-driven delivery, migration planning, data validation and reconciliation strategies, parallel runs, and cutover execution. MarTech domain expertise is a must: customer data platforms, identity resolution, audience and campaign data flows. Strong stakeholder, risk, and change management skills at CxO level; consulting orientation with solution shaping and transformation roadmap experience. Experience with modern cloud data stacks (Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, dbt or equivalent) and global onsite/offshore delivery models. #J-18808-Ljbffr Anblicks
