Job Summary:
The Senior Delivery Lead is accountable for end-to-end delivery of large-scale, complex technology programmes across multiple geographic zones. Operating as a trusted adviser to senior client stakeholders, this role bridges business objectives and delivery execution — ensuring seamless programme governance, commercial rigour, and sustained delivery excellence across the full programme lifecycle.
The role demands a blend of deep technical programme management expertise, consultancy experience, executive stakeholder management and people enablement.  Operating across engineering, product, architecture, and business change functions in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments they will be able to engage and challenge at all levels to ensure delivery on time and budget.
Job Description:

  • Drive continuous improvement and operational efficiency across delivery processes and tooling
  • Ensure a clear communication strategy and standard across the programmes and teams, including executive reporting and cross-functional updates

  • Maintain sufficient technical depth — across architecture, cloud, or enterprise systems — to challenge estimates, assess risks, and make informed trade-off decisions
  • Ensure all deliverables meet architectural standards, security requirements, and regulatory obligations
  • Foster a high-performance, inclusive delivery culture with clear accountability and psychological safety
  • Act as a role model across the teams and delivery, with awareness of individuals wellbeing to enable and foster a combined delivery mentality.
Required Skills:
  • 12–18+ years of technology delivery experience, with at least 5 years in senior programme or delivery lead roles.
  • Demonstrable consultancy experience: engagement shaping, client advisory, commercial management, and pre-sales / bid contribution.
  • Proven track record of delivering large-scale, multi-geography technology programmes from initiation through to BAU transition.
  • Strong technical background: hands-on exposure to architecture, cloud platforms, or enterprise systems (e.g. Oracle ecosystems).
  • Demonstrated experience in digital transformation, cloud migration, or enterprise application modernisation programmes.
  • Excellent executive-level stakeholder management and communication skills.
  • Experience managing external suppliers, third parties, and system integrators in a commercial context.
  • Exposure to regulated industries - BFSI, Capital Markets, or Enterprise Transformation environments strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with Oracle-based Enterprise Applications involving WebLogic / cloud transformation initiatives.
