Position Overview
We are looking for a proactive leader who is comfortable making decisions, holding teams accountable, managing difficult conversations, and taking ownership of outcomes.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building relationships, solving problems, creating accountability, and helping organizations scale through strong execution.
This role serves as the operational bridge between clients, project managers, sales teams, and engineering leadership. You will oversee project onboarding, resource planning, project delivery, client communication, and operational processes while helping ensure projects and products are delivered successfully. Serve as the primary escalation point for client concerns, delivery challenges, and project risks. Coordinate and hold accountable delivery leaders across U.S. and Nepal teams to ensure commitments, deadlines, and client expectations are met.
This is a leadership and operations role focused on people, execution, accountability, and customer success rather than hands-on software development. Note: some morning and evening hours required to coordinate with our team in Nepal.

- Lead project kickoff meetings, status reviews, and executive discussions.
- Ensure clients receive proactive communication regarding project progress, risks, and deliverables.

- Lead and mentor project managers and project coordinators.
- Establish project management standards and best practices.
- Ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and within budget.
- Monitor project health, profitability, and delivery performance.

- Participate in discovery meetings, project planning, and proposal discussions.
- Assist with project estimates, statements of work, and implementation planning.
- Lead project onboarding and ensure smooth transitions from sales to delivery.

Preferred
- Experience within technology consulting, software development, data warehousing, business intelligence, or professional services organizations.

You will be successful if you:

- Clients ask for you before they ask for the CEO.
- Projects consistently launch on time and within budget.
- Team members understand priorities and are accountable for results.
- Resource needs are forecasted before they become problems.
