## Description (the employer's text)

Orion Innovation is a premier, award-winning, global business and technology services firm. Orion delivers game-changing business transformation and product development rooted in digital strategy, experience design, and engineering, with a unique combination of agility, scale, and maturity. We work with a wide range of clients across many industries including financial services, professional services, telecommunications and media, consumer products, automotive, industrial automation, professional sports and entertainment, life sciences, ecommerce, and education.

### Project Overview

The role will focus on overseeing program and portfolio management activities within the delivery department, ensuring efficient IT service delivery and resource management. This is a strategic role requiring deep expertise in financial analysis, resource optimization, and multi-project coordination to align with organizational goals.

### Key Responsibilities

Program & Portfolio Delivery Leadership

- Own end-to-end delivery of a large, multi-workstream technical program, acting as the single point of accountability for scope, schedule, quality, and outcomes.
- Run the client engagement as a portfolio, managing multiple concurrent projects and workstreams with consistent governance, reporting, and prioritization.
- Apply disciplined scope and change management across all workstreams, ensuring changes are assessed, approved, and reflected in schedule, budget, and staffing before execution.
- Establish and run program governance, including steering committees, status reporting, RAID logs, and escalation paths, so delivery stays on time and on budget.
Technical Delivery Oversight

- This is a senior delivery management role, not a hands-on technical development or engineering role: success depends on the ability to lead, direct, and manage highly technical scope through the technical team.
- Provide technical delivery direction across server migrations, cloud transformation, AI-enabled legacy modernization, and DevOps initiatives, translating client business goals into a deliverable technical roadmap for the technical team to execute.
- Partner with architects and engineering leads to validate solution approach, sequencing, and risk, staying conversant enough in the technology to challenge and de-risk delivery plans.
- Ensure agile, DevOps, CI/CD, and cloud operating practices are applied consistently across teams and aligned to client standards.
Financial Management & Profitability

- Own the program budget: build and manage the financial plan, track actuals against forecast, and report margin and profitability at the account and project level.
- Manage commercial levers, including rate cards, utilization, staffing mix, and scope changes, to protect and grow account profitability while delivering client value.
- Present financial and delivery performance to internal leadership and client stakeholders with clear, data-backed narratives.
Resource & Portfolio Management

- Own hands-on resource management for the allocated project team, including staffing plans, role coverage, capacity, and utilization across the portfolio.
- Balance resourcing across concurrent projects, anticipating gaps and surges, and adjusting the staffing plan as scope and priorities shift.
- Manage the performance, growth, and day-to-day direction of the delivery team assigned to the account.
Global Team & Internal Collaboration

- Lead and align delivery teams across India, the US, and other global delivery centers, building one cohesive team with consistent working norms and clear handoffs across time zones.
- Partner with internal shared services and Centers of Excellence to bring in the right specialist capability, such as cloud, data, security, AI, and quality engineering, at the right time.
- Build a delivery model that blends onshore client presence with global delivery scale, without compromising quality or responsiveness.
Client & Stakeholder Relationship Management

- Serve as the day-to-day senior client contact and trusted advisor, building relationships with client program sponsors, IT leadership, and business stakeholders.
