About the Role

This role leads the day-to-day delivery operation of the EMEA practice, owning delivery performance, regional operating discipline, and the leadership of the regional delivery organization. The Director provides senior delivery leadership to ensure the EMEA PS function operates at consistent, scalable quality within Aderant's global Professional Services operating model.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery performance across the EMEA project portfolio: revenue, utilisation, margin, forecasting accuracy, and client satisfaction.
• Lead, develop and performance-manage the EMEA delivery organisation, including the programme/project management function and its leadership.
• Act as senior escalation point for delivery risk, project health, and client concerns across the region.
• Drive adoption of Aderant's global delivery methodology, AI-enabled delivery practices, and quality standards within the region.
• Provide senior regional scoping and estimation input in support of the global Services Revenue/GTM process, ensuring EMEA engagements are shaped with delivery reality built in.
• Build strong working relationships with regional sales leadership and account teams, acting as the senior delivery voice in the region.
• Ensure regional delivery knowledge is systematised and accessible — reducing dependency on individual expertise and institutionalising best practice.
• Establish and run disciplined operating interfaces with Sales, Support and Client Success — defined intake routes, response standards and escalation paths.
• Represent EMEA delivery in global PS forums, contributing regional insight to global standards, methodology and capability planning.
• Support workforce and capacity planning for the region, including the effective use of global and low-cost delivery capacity as the operating model evolves.
• Maintain senior, trusted relationships with key EMEA clients through delivery and into live operation.
• Champion outcome quality and time-to-value as the measures of delivery success, aligned to Aderant's client experience strategy.

Requirements

• Substantial professional services delivery leadership experience in enterprise software, ideally legal technology or adjacent regulated sectors.
• Proven ownership of a services P&L or delivery portfolio of comparable scale, including utilisation, margin and forecasting disciplines.
• Strong scoping and estimation craft: able to provide senior delivery input to commercial shaping and coach others to do it well.
• Track record of building repeatable, systematised delivery capability — process over heroics.
• Credible with C-suite client stakeholders and effective in matrixed, global operating models.
• Experience leading delivery transformation — methodology change, AI-enabled delivery practices, or offshore/nearshore capacity models — an advantage.
