About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Delivery Manager to oversee the complete delivery of a client migration and platform upgrade program. This role involves embedding within the client’s existing team in Sydney, managing each client migration from initiation through to post-launch stabilization. The Delivery Manager will serve as the primary client contact, ensuring controlled and predictable progression through each stage of the migration and upgrade process. The position requires a blend of technical delivery, quality control, and client relationship management expertise, with a strong emphasis on client-facing communication, technical understanding, and managing delivery under pressure.
Responsibilities
- Own client migration delivery from kickoff through go-live and post-launch stabilization.
- Manage clients through environment cloning, platform upgrade, validation & certification, and cutover stages.
- Ensure all entry and exit criteria are met before progressing clients to the next stage.
- Effectively manage multiple concurrent implementations or client accounts, balancing competing priorities.
- Ensure validation and certification are completed prior to cutover.
- Coordinate with QA and Engineering to confirm functional parity, data integrity, and system behavior.
- Capture and maintain traceable certification evidence for each client.
- Allocate and manage clients across migration waves based on complexity, transaction volume, integrations, and business criticality.
- Align execution with QA certification capacity and controlled batch progression.
- Plan and coordinate production cutovers, including scheduling, readiness checks, communication, and rollback planning.
- Ensure smooth backend system transition with minimal client impact.
- Complete and obtain sign-off for post-cutover validation.
- Confirm system stability before declaring a client complete.
- Triage and resolve issues arising during or after cutover without delaying the program.
- Manage client-specific configuration and integration considerations affecting go-live readiness.
- Proactively coordinate and communicate with client technical and business contacts.
- Act as the primary point of contact for the client throughout the implementation lifecycle.
- Manage client expectations and communicate status transparently, including delays.
- Build trust with client stakeholders through direct, solutions-oriented communication.
- Explain technical issues in business terms and vice versa.
- Manage scope changes and client requests, balancing expectations with delivery commitments.
- Identify, escalate, and mitigate delivery risks and issues, including certification gaps, data inconsistencies, cutover problems, and client configuration gaps.
- Serve as the direct point of contact for client escalations.
- Escalate issues early and transparently while maintaining delivery momentum.
Requirements
- Proven Delivery Manager experience in enterprise SaaS or platform environments.
- Experience with migration or upgrade programs.
- Strong experience in client-facing delivery and production cutovers.
- Track record of running live implementations, onboarding, or system cutovers where customer continuity was critical.
- Ability to manage multiple clients concurrently across structured waves and batches under defined criteria.
- Strong stakeholder management skills.
- Strong risk/issue management skills.
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, execution-focused environment.
- Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal.
- Sydney-based.
- Available to work on-site/hybrid as required by the client.
- Sufficient technical fluency to engage credibly with engineering teams.
- Ability to assess whether a technical issue is genuinely difficult or simply being deprioritized.
- Working understanding of data migration, system integrations, connectivity, and third-party APIs in an enterprise context.
- Experience in identity, fintech, banking/payments, or other regulated/enterprise SaaS environments (preferred).
- Experience with high-volume / high-TPS platforms (preferred).
- Experience in AWS-based environments (preferred).
- Hands-on technical background (development, systems, or infrastructure) (preferred).
