Role Summary

We are seeking a Delivery Lead for Architecture Delivery to drive the design, implementation, and scaling of our AI & Agentic-first Service Delivery Platform. This leader will ensure that architecture delivery - spanning solution design, platform build, integrations, and automation-first delivery enablement - is executed seamlessly across both in-house teams and ecosystem collaborators / partners.

The role requires a forward-looking delivery leader who can set up delivery automation tooling, frameworks, and governance models, while running delivery in a super-agile, high-velocity environment. This person will be responsible for regular 'show & tell' demonstrations to senior company leadership, ensuring transparency, speed of iteration, and visible business impact at every stage.

Key Responsibilities

1. Architecture Delivery Leadership

Lead end-to-end architecture delivery programs across pre-sales, mobilisation , build / test, and transition-to-operations.

Instill Agile maturity across delivery teams, partners, and collaborators to accelerate velocity and reduce waste.

Ensure backlog prioritization and sprint outcomes are aligned with business value realization.

3. Delivery Automation & Tooling Ownership

Define and set up the delivery automation toolchain (DevOps, MLOps , FinOps, SecOps, AIOps) as the backbone of platform-driven delivery.

Embed automation-first principles into architecture delivery, reducing manual dependencies and cycle times.

Drive adoption of zero-touch delivery accelerators such as code generators, semantic asset graphs, digital twins, and AI copilots.

4. Collaboration & Partner Integration

Work closely with alliance partners, subcontractors, and client teams to integrate their contributions into delivery seamlessly.

Establish collaboration frameworks to ensure speed, quality, and shared accountability across partner ecosystems.

Leverage the platform's mobilisation toolkits and governance dashboards to manage distributed architecture delivery.

5. Client & Stakeholder Management

Act as the architecture delivery owner in client engagements, ensuring solutions are delivered predictably and value is realized.

Provide visibility to clients through real-time dashboards, case study generators, and outcome trackers.

Partner with CX / Design Leads to ensure customer experience principles and design thinking are embedded in delivery outcomes.

6. Continuous Value & Differentiation

Measure and report business value realization : productivity, cycle-time reduction, automation coverage, margin uplift.

Ensure reuse and standardization of architecture components and automation tooling across accounts.

Feed learnings back to Product and Design teams to continuously enhance the platform.
