Calling All Upstarters!

TECHNICAL DELIVERY MANAGER WANTED!

We are Upstart 13. We are humble, hungry, and competent people who are radically changing the expectations and experience of outsourcing for all participants by challenging barriers that create inequality and by bringing down borders in technology for people everywhere. We’re all about delivering value and doing big things. We have become a game changer for teams around the world who look to Upstart’s services as a differentiator.

Job Description:

We are seeking a Technical Delivery Manager (TDM) to own delivery execution and outcomes across assigned client engagements. This is a senior delivery leadership role that combines delivery ownership, project management, and people management.

The TDM partners closely with the Customer Success Manager (CSM). The TDM owns technical delivery, execution quality, planning, and team performance, while the CSM owns the business relationship, client communication, and account health. Together, they ensure delivery commitments are met and client outcomes are achieved.

Reporting to the Head of Delivery, the TDM leads one or more delivery engagements and serves as the primary owner of delivery health, execution cadence, and team effectiveness for those accounts.

Responsibilities

Delivery Ownership & Execution:

  • Own end-to-end delivery for assigned engagements, including planning, execution cadence, scope control, quality, and on-time outcomes.
  • Run delivery rhythm (sprint planning, backlog management, execution tracking, releases) and maintain delivery forecasts, risks, and dependencies.
  • Ensure adherence to engineering standards, agreed technical direction, and delivery processes.
  • Own business-to-technical translation for the engagement, converting client business problems into clear technical direction and ensuring alignment on outcomes and value.
  • Facilitate and deliver engaging product demonstrations to customers, ensuring clarity and alignment with their needs and expectations.

Project & Program Management:

  • Act as the primary delivery lead, fulfilling and extending the traditional project management role.
  • Oversee resource allocation and capacity planning across concurrent engagements.
  • Implement delivery governance, KPIs, and reporting to ensure visibility, predictability, and accountability.
  • Identify, manage, and escalate delivery and technical risks, removing impediments to execution.
  • Maintain awareness of delivery economics, proactively identifying risks to scope, margin, and account health.

People Management & Team Development:

  • Serve as people manager for delivery team members (or team leads on larger engagements), owning coaching, performance feedback, and career development.
  • Foster a healthy, accountable team culture focused on ownership, quality, and continuous improvement.
  • Contribute to performance, compensation, and growth decisions in collaboration with leadership.

Cross-Functional & Client Collaboration:

  • Lead the client narrative and stakeholder conversations, opening and steering discussions, setting and managing expectations, and reframing in real time when needed.
  • Partner closely with Customer Success Managers to align delivery execution with client expectations, communication cadence, and account goals.
  • Collaborate with Solution Architects, QA, DevOps, and other shared services to ensure effective, executable delivery.
  • Act as a primary escalation point for delivery and execution-related issues with internal teams and client stakeholders.
  • Frame delivery progress in terms of business value and outcomes, not only task completion, ensuring clear articulation of the “so what” in all communications.

Strategic & Account Growth Contribution:

  • Carry commercial awareness for the engagement, monitoring margin, utilization, and account health signals.
  • Surface risks and opportunities early, contributing to overall account strategy and long-term client success.
  • Proactively identify and frame opportunities for innovation, including AI use cases within client engagements, and bring them forward to stakeholders.

Success Measures:

  • On-time, high-quality delivery of client commitments.
  • Predictable delivery execution with controlled scope and risks.
  • Healthy team performance, engagement, and development.
  • Strong delivery economics, including utilization and margin protection.
  • Clear, proactive communication with internal stakeholders and customers.
  • Demonstrated impact on client outcomes, including business value realization and identification of growth opportunities.

Qualifications

Technical skills:

  • 8+ years of experience in software delivery environments, with significant responsibility for delivery execution and team leadership.
  • Strong understanding of modern software development practices, system design principles, and architectural patterns.
  • Hands-on experience delivering projects in agile environments (Scrum, Kanban, or similar).
  • Familiarity with any cloud platform (Azure, AWS or GCP) and modern DevOps practices, including CI/CD concepts.
  • Proven ability to manage delivery planning, execution, and risk across multiple concurrent engagements.
  • Proficiency with delivery and project management tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, or equivalent).

Soft skills:

  • Demonstrated experience leading, coaching, and developing technical teams.
  • Comfortable acting as a people manager, including providing feedback, supporting growth, and contributing to performance and compensation decisions.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, particularly in partnership with Customer Success and cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to make sound decisions under pressure while balancing delivery speed, quality, and commercial outcomes.
  • Trusted leadership presence with the ability to lead through clarity, accountability, and influence rather than authority.

Bonus skills:

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field.
  • Proven leadership experience in the Data and Analytics field.
  • Experience in technology consulting, professional services, or SaaS environments.
  • Experience managing distributed or remote teams.
  • Relevant certifications (Agile, Scrum, Project Management, Cloud) are a plus but not required.
