Solution Delivery Competence Leader

3 нед. назад

УкраинаLead

Lead the development and scaling of solution delivery competence and methodology, initially delivering projects personally and then building scalable practices for other project managers.

О компании

We are scaling solution-based and fixed-price delivery, where we own the process, the estimate and the budget – not the client. Today every such project depends on the individual skill of whoever is assigned, and it is not consistent from project to project and is not scalable. We need someone who will help us fix this by delivering these projects themselves first, then turning what worked into practice the rest of our PMs can use.

Обязанности

First month. Map what already exists: which of our PMs have delivered solution-based projects, what artifacts and processes they use, what actually gets used versus what sits in a wiki, and what you would keep. This is a deliverable, not an onboarding period.
First 6–12 months – prove and build the model. Lead one or two solution projects, typically $500K–$1M, as lighthouse engagements. On each, you own:
Estimate validation and commercial framing
Planning, project baseline, and scope management
Core team formation and staffing readiness
Project P&L: committed cost and margin
Assumptions, dependencies, and risk management
Governance: cadence, metrics, reporting, and escalation
AI-driven delivery and PM process optimization
You are not expected to own these projects permanently. Once the delivery model is established, the team is operating effectively, and a capable replacement is ready, you hand the project over.
In parallel – build and scale the competence. Build the PM Task Force and own the N-iX Solution Delivery Runbook. Together with Task Force members, gather and pilot practices from real projects and turn what works into reusable estimation models, staffing patterns, governance templates, tools, and accelerators.
Drive AI adoption and optimization across PM practices. The goal is for every new solution project to start with a proven delivery model rather than inventing one from scratch.
Throughout – you advise. Provide two focused services:
Projects in crisis. When a project is going wrong, you go in, diagnose it, and hand back a plan with a named owner. You do not take the project over – that is a separate call, made by the VP of Delivery, and it resets everything else you are committed to. Weeks, not months.
Pre-sale, the delivery side only. You will work in a close cooperation with Solution Leader (typically, a technical person/engineering manager) to validate if we will be able to deliver what we are about to promise to customers

Join N-iX and become part of a team where your ideas make a real impact.
You will lead the development of Solution Delivery competence and methodology from day one. At the start, you will also deliver a couple of projects yourself — because you cannot codify what you have not proven here.
Over time, your focus shifts from personally delivering projects to building and scaling the competence across N-Ix.
Success has one measure: other project managers using proven templates and blueprints to deliver on time, on budget, with GenAI built in and clients who would hire us again. Across the portfolio, not just the projects you touched.
Willing to hand a project over and leave it. Repeatedly. If you need to own an account long-term, this is the wrong role
Open to what already works here. You are not starting from zero, and the people whose practice you will codify are still in the company. We will ask you what you would keep, not what you would fix
Balance between maximizing our chances of winning the lead and ensuring a structured approach to how delivery should be organized
