Accellor - Senior Delivery Manager - AI & Data Engagements

Role Overview:

We are looking for a delivery leader to own the end-to-end execution of our AI & Data engagements for large enterprise clients - Fortune 500 and Fortune 100 organisations across industries.

These are high-stakes transformation programs where the work spans agentic AI, generative AI, and modern data platforms.

Key responsibilities:

- Own end-to-end delivery of one large program or 2 - 3 parallel engagements against committed scope, timeline, and quality.

- Run the delivery rhythm: planning, sprint cadence, status reporting, risk and dependency management, and escalation discipline.

- Lead delivery of agentic and GenAI solutions, applying the right rigour to non-deterministic systems - evaluations, guardrails, model/version drift, and human-in-the-loop gating.

- Lead and coach POD leads, Forward Deployed Engineers, and engineering teams; set standards and unblock the team.

- Be the trusted delivery point of contact for senior client stakeholders, including CIO-, VP-, and director-level.

- Keep teams efficient and right-sized; manage utilisation and cost discipline within the agreed staffing envelope.

Required:

- 10+ years total experience, with 5+ years in delivery leadership inside a services or consulting model.

- Genuine, hands-on understanding of agentic and GenAI delivery: evaluations, guardrails, human-in-the-loop, and the realities of shipping non-deterministic systems.

- Familiarity with common multi-agent frameworks and orchestration patterns (e.g. LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel) and the major cloud AI & Data stacks (Azure, AWS, GCP).

- Credible data-platform delivery experience - having shipped a real data foundation (e.g. lakehouse / Fabric / Databricks / Snowflake or equivalent).

- Strong senior-stakeholder presence and the ability to say no credibly when scope drifts.

- Player-coach posture: senior enough to own a portfolio, hands-on enough to earn the team's technical respect.
