We deliver tailored solutions in business intelligence, data warehousing, data strategy, and project delivery for clients across the United States and beyond. Our consultants work remotely as one team, with a collaborative, inclusive, and delivery-focused culture.\nPosition Summary\nWe are hiring a Delivery Manager to own day-to-day delivery of client engagements from kickoff through close. This is a hands-on delivery role. You will typically run two to four concurrent projects - scope, schedule, budget, risk, and client communication - and keep internal teams and client stakeholders aligned.\nThis is not a practice-lead, people-manager, or sales role. You will flag staffing needs and expansion opportunities, follow established delivery standards, and escalate early. The right profile has about five to eight years of experience, including real time as a delivery or project manager on consulting or professional-services engagements.\nKey Responsibilities\nDelivery management\nOwn end-to-end delivery of assigned client engagements, including timelines, budgets, deliverables, and client expectations. Typical load is two to four concurrent projects.\n\nLead project planning, estimation, and scoping in partnership with Sales, Implementation, and Professional Services.\n\nCoordinate and prioritize work across internal and client teams so delivery stays on time and on quality.\n\nCoordinate staffing for assigned accounts with the practice lead; raise capacity and utilization issues early rather than owning practice-wide resource planning.\n\nIdentify, track, and mitigate risks, issues, dependencies, and scope changes; escalate clearly and early.\n\nRun delivery governance for assigned work: status reporting, steering updates, sprint and milestone reviews, and stakeholder communication.\n\nCreate and maintain project documentation including roadmaps, project plans, RAID logs, and resource plans.\n\nKeep repositories for deliverables, budgets, and project documentation current; track financial performance of assigned projects against forecast.\n\nServe as the primary day-to-day point of contact for assigned clients and protect satisfaction through the life of the engagement.\n\nSurface expansion and follow-on opportunities to Sales and account leadership. You do not own a sales quota or book of business.\n\nFollow firm delivery processes, standards, and templates, and suggest practical improvements from the work.\n\nRequirements and stakeholder management\nPartner with clients to understand business challenges and turn them into clear, deliverable requirements.\n\nFacilitate requirements and planning sessions, and make sure acceptance criteria are agreed and documented.\n\nWork with technical teams to confirm that solutions match the agreed scope, timeline, and quality bar.\n\nReview deliverables against acceptance criteria and flag quality, timeline, or adoption gaps to the technical lead.\n\nQualifications\nRequired\n5-8 years of professional experience.\n\nAt least 3-5 of those years as a project or delivery manager on client engagements.\n\nConsulting or professional-services background strongly preferred. In-house project management alone is not the target profile.\n\nProven success running more than one engagement at a time without dropping the fundamentals: estimation, planning, budgeting, RAID, status, and stakeholder alignment.\n\nStrong command of delivery fundamentals: estimation, planning, budgeting, resource coordination, and risk management.\n\nExperience tracking project financials (budget vs. forecast, margin, utilization) on the accounts you own.\n\nWorking fluency with common project management tools and frameworks - for example Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, Jira, Monday.com, or comparable planning and tracking tools - and comfort with Agile, waterfall, and hybrid delivery.\n\nAI fluent: regular, practical use of AI tools to draft status, summarize meetings, organize project documentation, and prepare stakeholder updates. You remain accountable for accuracy. Specific model or vendor experience is not required.\n\nExcellent organization and time management; able to prioritize across competing demands.\n\nClear verbal and written communication, including status and issue communication with client managers and occasional executives.\n\nProactive, self-directed, and effective in a fully remote environment.\n\nAuthorized to work in the United States.\n\nWilling and able to travel up to 15%.\n\nPreferred\nProject management certification (PMP or equivalent). Not a gate.\n\nExperience delivering work in a data, analytics, or technology professional-services setting. Tool-level analytics skills are not required.\n\nFamiliarity with professional-services operations (staffing requests, utilization, work-in-progress, and change orders).\n\nWhat this role is not\nNot a junior coordinator role and not a senior practice lead.\n\nNot a people-manager role. You coordinate contributors on assigned projects; you do not own hiring, coaching, or a reporting team.\n\nNot a technical or analytics individual-contributor role. You do not need Tableau, Power BI, SQL, or other analytics tools.\n\nNot a quota-carrying sales or account-growth role.\n\nSuccess in the first six months\nTake ownership of an assigned portfolio and run it with clean plans, RAID logs, status, and financial tracking.\n\nKeep clients informed so surprises are rare and escalations happen early.\n\nWork cleanly with delivery, sales, and technical leads using the firm’s existing tools and templates.\n\nUse AI tools as a default part of how you prepare project artifacts, without handing off judgment.\n\nData Meaning is an equal opportunity employer.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5914,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T02:51:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/data-meaning-delivery-manager-data-meaning","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/data-meaning-delivery-manager-data-meaning.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T01:10:22Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1424,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2933310},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2933310"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdata-meaning-delivery-manager-data-meaning"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdata-meaning-delivery-manager-data-meaning"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdata-meaning-delivery-manager-data-meaning"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/data-meaning-delivery-manager-data-meaning\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdata-meaning-delivery-manager-data-meaning"}]}
