  • A strong track record of successfully delivering complex technology or product initiatives to enterprise customers.
  • Experience working closely with software engineering and product teams, with a good understanding of the software development lifecycle.
  • Strong technical literacy and the ability to engage credibly with engineers while translating technical subjects for non-technical stakeholders.

  • A strong understanding of delivery methodologies and the judgement to apply the appropriate level of process.
  • Experience working with senior internal stakeholders and enterprise customers.

  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach, with the confidence to challenge, influence and make decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Own and oversee product-related technical delivery across the EMEA region, from initial commitment through to successful customer implementation.
  • Translate customer and business requirements into clear, achievable delivery plans in partnership with Engineering and Product.
  • Maintain a consolidated view of the EMEA delivery portfolio, including priorities, milestones, dependencies, risks and resource requirements.
  • Drive delivery against agreed timelines, scope and quality expectations, ensuring issues are identified and addressed early.
  • Establish clear governance, reporting and delivery rhythms that provide stakeholders with confidence and visibility.
  • Ensure dependencies between customer programmes, product roadmaps and engineering activity are understood and effectively managed.
  • Continuously improve delivery practices, introducing greater consistency, predictability and scalability as the business grows.
  • Work closely with the Head of Engineering to understand engineering capacity, priorities and constraints and ensure resources are aligned to the highest-value delivery outcomes.
  • Partner with Product to ensure customer requirements and market feedback are understood, prioritised and reflected in product planning.
  • Create an effective feedback loop between customers, regional teams, Product and Engineering.
  • Challenge requirements constructively and help distinguish between genuine product requirements, customer-specific requests and opportunities for alternative solutions.
  • Ensure Engineering teams have the clarity and context required to deliver effectively.
  • Help protect Engineering capacity by bringing structure and prioritisation to incoming customer and regional requirements.
  • Provide senior delivery oversight for key EMEA customers, ensuring technical commitments are understood and delivered successfully.

  • Work with customer-facing teams to set realistic expectations around scope, timelines and technical feasibility.
  • Lead or support the resolution of complex delivery challenges, bringing together the appropriate technical and commercial stakeholders to unblock progress.
  • Ensure customer feedback and lessons learned are captured and fed back into Product and Engineering.
  • Support customer meetings and governance forums where senior technical delivery representation is required.
  • Create a culture of ownership, accountability and transparency around delivery.
  • Identify recurring delivery challenges and address their root causes rather than simply managing individual issues.
  • Develop and track meaningful delivery metrics to understand performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Drive continuous improvement across delivery processes, tools and ways of working.
  • Support the development of scalable delivery frameworks that enable growth across EMEA without unnecessary complexity or bureaucracy.
