About the Role
Lead high complexity deployments of our Agentic AI / conversational AI platform for enterprise customers. Own the end-to-end delivery lifecycle from scoping and planning through go-live and hypercare, working in a pod model alongside a Forward Deployed Engineer and an Agent Architect. Ensure customers successfully transition to an Agentic OS layer for their enterprise communications.
Responsibilities

- Drive project planning: work breakdown, dependencies, critical path, and resource allocations across internal and partner teams.
- Maintain up-to-date project plan, RAID log (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) and change log.
- Serve as primary delivery contact for customer project sponsors, IT, and business stakeholders.
- Facilitate recurring governance: status calls, steering committees, UAT readouts, and go-live reviews.
- Translate technical complexity into clear business impacts for executive stakeholders.
- Manage scope and change requests, ensuring commercial and delivery impacts are understood and agreed.
- Coordinate with Forward Deployed Engineers on integration readiness, environment setup, performance, and production stability.
- Coordinate with Agent Architects on discovery, agent design, prompt/context strategy, and conversational tuning.
- Collaborate with Sales, Solution Engineering, Product, and Support to ensure a seamless customer journey from sales handoff through BAU operations.
- Manage co-delivery responsibilities, expectations, and escalation paths with partners (SI/GSI/BPO).
- Plan and facilitate sprints, retros, and sprint reviews for Agile/hybrid projects; lead stage-gate reviews for Waterfall projects.
- Enforce documentation standards (Charter, Design Docs, Runbooks, Handover Docs).
- Ensure risk and compliance requirements (security reviews, data governance, regulatory constraints) are captured and incorporated into the plan.
- Define and track deployment KPIs, such as: Time to Blueprint, Time to First Agent in UAT, Time to Go-Live, Milestone On-Time Rate, Defect and incident trends during QA/UAT and Hypercare.
- Report delivery status, risk posture, and mitigation plans to internal and external stakeholders.
- Contribute data to capacity and utilization models to inform planning and staffing.
