## Job description

### Data & AI Senior Technical Delivery Manager

Matrix's Data & AI practice builds and runs modern data platforms and AI solutions for enterprise clients across financial services, CPG, retail, and construction. We are looking for a Senior Technical Delivery Manager to own end-to-end delivery on our most strategic accounts — the person the client trusts to make the program land, and the person our engineers trust to clear the road ahead of them.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will not be writing production code day to day, but you will be technical enough to challenge an architecture decision, read a Databricks job failure and know what it means, and hold your own in a design review with a client's Chief Data Officer.

### What You'll Do

### Own delivery

- Lead multi-workstream Data & AI programs from kickoff through steady-state, with accountability for scope, schedule, margin, quality, and client outcomes.

- Build and maintain delivery plans, RAID logs, sprint cadences, and governance rhythms that hold up under executive scrutiny.

- Run status reporting and steering committees that surface risk early rather than explaining it late.

- Manage change control: identify scope drift, quantify impact, and negotiate change orders without damaging the relationship.

### Lead teams

- Lead blended onshore/offshore teams of 8–25 engineers, architects, analysts, and consultants across multiple concurrent workstreams.

- Set delivery standards and hold the team to them — code review discipline, documentation, environment hygiene, DevOps practices.

- Coach and develop team members; own staffing plans, ramp-up, and performance feedback in partnership with practice leadership.

- Resolve technical and interpersonal blockers quickly, escalating only what genuinely needs escalating.

### Own the client relationship

- Serve as the primary day-to-day point of contact for client program sponsors, data leaders, and business stakeholders.

- Translate between business intent and technical reality in both directions — and say the hard thing when a timeline or an approach won't work.

- Run executive-level communication: QBRs, KPI reviews, escalation handling, and recovery plans when a program is off track.

- Protect client satisfaction as a measurable outcome, not a feeling.

### Drive technical quality

- Provide oversight, with practice architects, on solution design across Snowflake, Databricks, and the surrounding modern data stack.

- Ensure delivery follows sound patterns for data modeling, pipeline orchestration, governance, security, cost management, and production support.

- Bring judgment on build vs. buy, platform trade-offs, and technical debt — and make sure those decisions are documented and defensible.

- Oversee delivery of AI/ML and GenAI workloads, including model lifecycle, evaluation, and responsible-AI considerations where applicable.

### Grow the account

- Identify and shape follow-on opportunities within existing accounts; contribute to SOWs, estimates, and staffing models.

- Support pre-sales as the delivery voice in pursuits — solution shaping, effort estimation, risk assessment, and client presentations.

- Contribute to practice assets: delivery playbooks, accelerators, reusable frameworks, and lessons-learned.

### What You Bring

### Required

- 10+ years in technology delivery, with at least 5 years managing complex data or analytics programs.

- Consulting or professional services background — you understand utilization, margin, SOWs, change orders, and the difference between a client and an employer.

- Hands-on working knowledge of Snowflake and/or Databricks in production environments (required). You should be able to speak credibly about warehouse vs. lakehouse architecture, Delta/Iceberg, Unity Catalog or Snowflake governance, workload optimization, and platform cost drivers.

- Familiarity with the surrounding modern stack: ELT and orchestration (dbt, Airflow, ADF, Fivetran), cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP), BI and semantic layers (Power BI, Tableau), and CI/CD for data.

- Demonstrated experience leading distributed onshore/offshore delivery teams.

- Track record of direct executive-level client engagement, including at least one program you personally recovered or turned around.

- Strong command of Agile and hybrid delivery methods, and the judgment to know which one a given client actually needs.

- Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting to a room of senior stakeholders.

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.

### Preferred

- Experience in one or more of: financial services, CPG, retail, or construction/AEC.

- Exposure to Dataiku, MLOps tooling, or GenAI and agentic solution delivery.

- Prior background as a data engineer, BI developer, or solution architect before moving into delivery leadership.

- Certifications: Databricks, Snowflake (SnowPro), cloud platform (Azure/AWS/GCP), PMP, or SAFe.

- Experience with data governance, data quality, or regulatory-driven programs (privacy, AML, model risk).

- Ability to travel to client sites as needed (typically [X]%).

### What Success Looks Like

First 90 days — You know your accounts, your teams, and your risks. Delivery plans are current, governance cadence is running, and clients know who you are.

First 6 months — Programs are landing on schedule and on margin. Escalations are down. At least one follow-on opportunity has been shaped from within an existing account.

First 12 months — Your accounts are reference-able. Your team is stronger than when you inherited it, and something you built — a playbook, an accelerator, a delivery standard — is being reused across the practice.
