Role Overview

We are shifting from a vendor-dependent structure to an in-house digital organization.

As an Delivery Manager (Account PM), you will oversee 1–3 project teams (internal + partner companies) and ensure smooth delivery, stakeholder alignment, and people management.

This role sits between business and engineering. You will work closely with C-level leadership (CTO, CIO, VPoT), business units, and engineering teams to drive digital innovation.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and deliver multiple projects (1–3 teams) with responsibility for QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery).

If a team lacks a Project Manager, you will act directly as PM (planning, scheduling, progress tracking, risk management).

Communicate effectively with engineers, designers, and technical leads to ensure alignment on requirements and feasibility.

Collaborate with stakeholders from business teams, PMO, vendors, and partner companies.

Act as a bridge between technology and business, translating needs into actionable plans.

Manage and mentor team members, balancing process, delivery timeline, and people motivation.

Contribute to creating a scalable delivery framework and improve operational processes.
