- Raise the delivery bar: improve onboarding processes, documentation, playbooks, and tooling; champion operational excellence across planning, execution, and closeout.
- 6+ years in customer-facing delivery, implementation, technical account management, or consulting for enterprise SaaS; 2+ years leading/managing delivery or customer success/PS teams.
- Strong understanding of SDLC and modern delivery practices (Agile/DevOps), with the ability to guide hands-on work in SSO setup, people data, and enterprise connector configuration.
- Proven record of building playbooks, standardizing processes, and running delivery at scale with clear KPIs and continuous improvement cycles.
- Executive presence and clear communication; comfortable leading escalations, aligning cross‑functional stakeholders, and making outcome‑oriented decisions.
- Analytical, systems-thinking mindset; adept at diagnosing deployment blockers and translating field insights into product/process enhancements.
- Cloud fluency (AWS, Azure, or GCP). One of the following—or willingness to obtain within 90 days—is a plus: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, Microsoft Certified Azure Fundamentals, or Google Cloud Digital Leader.
