Overview

We are seeking a Delivery Lead to drive end-to-end execution of a complex, in-flight AI-powered sales acceleration platform. This role sits at the center of a cross-functional initiative spanning AI engineering, data engineering (Databricks), cloud infrastructure (Azure), Salesforce integration, and UI development.

You will partner closely with AI Engineers, a Scrum Master, and distributed technical teams to orchestrate delivery across multiple workstreams and push the solution into secure, stable production.

This is a hands-on delivery leadership role requiring strong technical fluency, integration expertise, and the ability to drive progress across teams without direct authority.

Key Responsibilities

• Data readiness and quality
• System performance and scalability

AI Delivery Oversight

• Monitor and validate AI system behavior over time (e.g., prompt changes, data evolution)
• Ensure safe and effective use of LLM patterns (RAG, agents, routing)
• Partner with engineering to mitigate risk in AI-driven outputs
• Block releases if AI performance introduces business or compliance risk

Enterprise Readiness & Go-Live

• Lead delivery through enterprise gates (security, legal, compliance)
• Ensure:
• Proper access models and data classification
• Audit and control mechanisms
• Provide final Go/No-Go recommendation for production release

Operationalization

• Define production support model and runbooks for post-launch operations
• Coordinate transition to IT/support teams
• Ensure the solution is stable, supportable, and scalable in production

Required Qualifications

• Strong background as a Technical Delivery Lead or Tech Lead
• Proven experience driving delivery across cloud-based, integrated systems
• Hands-on experience with:

• System integration (APIs, REST, webhooks)
• CRM platforms (Salesforce preferred)
• Experience integrating systems with custom development components
• Proven ability to navigate security, legal, xywuqvp and compliance approvals
