Key Responsibilities

- Understand the customer value established for the engagement and own its delivery, driving the organizational readiness and adoption required for the customer to realize it.
Ensure momentum and coordination across the delivery team.
- Coordinate cross-functional delivery teams, including internal engineering staff, subject matter experts, and off-shore resources, ensuring role clarity and momentum without direct supervisory authority.
- Assume additional delivery functions as engagements require, including quality assurance and user acceptance testing, technical writing, and training, producing a competent result whether or not the work has been performed before.
Contribute to the growth of CloudAI's delivery practice.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of CloudAI's project management practice.
