Head of Delivery

Job Description

The Head Delivery leads how Bilue engages, delights and grows its customers through the delivery of outstanding work.

This is a methodology-agnostic leader. They are open to and fluent in different styles of project and delivery management, and tool, platform and vendor choices, and match the approach to the customer and the work rather than to a fixed playbook. They are commercially minded and strategic in how they communicate with customers, and technology- and AI-literate enough to partner the Head of Engineering on technical project management, keep escalations to a minimum, and lead Bilue forward in the AI delivery space.

As a member of Bilue's Senior Leadership Team (SLT), the Head of Delivery leads as part of the team first, ahead of their own function. The expectation is to show up as an engaged, accountable leader who owns the health of the whole business, not only their department.

• Leading strategic, senior customer relationships and be the escalation point customers trust
• Shaping pursuits with Sales, from proposal reviews and SOWs through to resource plans
• Partnering with Engineering on technical project management and keeping escalations low
• Building and mentoring a high performing delivery team
• Leading Bilue's AI enabled ways of delivering for our customers

• Setting the standard for strategic customer communication, framed around outcomes and value 
• Defining a delivery governance framework that flexes across delivery styles 
• Building Delivery Managers who create cross-functional teams from build through support, maintenance and managed services
• Developing and approving SOWs and resource plans so every engagement is feasible and commercially sound
• Growing existing customers through delivery excellence, renewals and the expansion opportunities delivery surfaces
