Head of Channels & Engineering & Delivery is the same as Head of Delivery (IBU Head Delivery): Please use the same qualities as below but the previous experience will include strong technical skills (Java, Full Stack Java, Mobile Apps, Online / eCommerce). Preference would be someone from a recurring revenue business with a high transaction volume (like retail banking, retail / ecommerce). Working in AGILE (Spotify, SAFE) will be key. Transition experience from a long term incumbent & working in mixed teams while we deliver a roadmap & transition in parallel will be also a nice to have.

Delivery Head Role Summary

The Head of Delivery Management is responsible for setting strategic direction for delivery management, defining and implementing standards and processes, managing the team across a broad portfolio of services, and successfully implementing recovery for project crisis situations. Candidate will have a proven ability to successfully deliver the largest projects/programmes (350+ team members, Euro 25-30 Mn+ annual services revenue). Candidate should have a demonstrable track record of building strong relationships with both clients IT and all parts of the business teams to define viable approaches/methodologies in line with relevant industry standards and best practices. Candidate will represent the delivery team within Tech Mahindra and ensure their views are made clear to the executive management team. Candidate will also ensure the individuals within delivery management are aligned and function as a team.

Attitude is every bit as important as skills and experience. Candidate will bring an energy and passion to the role that inspires those in the team. You need to be a articulate & clear communicator both internally and with clients and other stakeholders.

Digital Services have broadened in recent years and the team needs to also broaden its skill sets around delivery in line with this. Experience with reorganisation and skill set gap analysis in a large project around how we work in a more nimble way will require these new leaders to implement changes and continue to iterate moving forward.
