Senior Delivery Lead

Perficient is searching for a Senior Delivery Lead.  Senior delivery leadership role accountable for business outcomes across a portfolio of related programs or large-scale, complex programs.  This role is a trusted strategic partner to C-suite sponsors.

• Accountable for business outcomes across a portfolio of related programs, or large scale, complex programs, not individual project delivery
• Manages interdependencies, sequencing trade-offs, and portfolio-level risk across concurrent workstreams
• Operates without Director oversight on delivery and commercial decisions
• Leads executive steering committees: shapes the agenda, drives decisions, and owns follow-through
• Defines program governance, operating rhythm, and escalation architecture from the outset
• Navigates ambiguity and evolving client strategy; repositions the program when priorities shift
• Holds senior stakeholders accountable to commitments; manages upward as confidently as downward
• Supports pursuit conversations as the senior program authority on complex, strategic engagements; collaborates on commercial structures and SOWs around outcomes and value
• Develops client relationships that generate follow-on program work independent of delivery
• Grows delivery leadership capability within Perficient; sponsors progression of Delivery Leads
• Deploys AI for portfolio intelligence: cross-program risk synthesis, resource modeling, executive reporting

• Typically 10-15 years of delivery leadership experience in technology consulting
• Proven track record owning programs of $3M+ spanning multiple concurrent projects and disciplines
• Exposure across enterprise domains: cloud transformation, ERP, data platforms, or digital at scale
• Demonstrated mastery of program governance and benefits realization
• Manages AI adoption across the delivery organization as a change variable, not an optional tooling choice
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support data-informed task execution.
• Familiarity with AI-enhanced platforms is a plus.
• A solid understanding of AI capabilities and limitations including ethical considerations is expected
