SUMMARY

The IT Solution Delivery Manager serves as the primary connection between business units and the technology organization. You support relationships with functional leadership, translate business goals into actionable technology roadmaps, and move initiatives seamlessly from ideation through business case funding, requirements definition, technical delivery, and end-user adoption.

This is a individual contributor role. While you will not manage a direct team or departmental budget, you will heavily influence both by building executive trust, presenting persuasive investment cases, and driving cross-functional delivery accountability without formal authority.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

- Serve as the point of contact between the business and IT; build relationships deep enough that you're pulled into planning conversations before a request is ever filed.

- Develop a working understanding of how the business operates (e.g., processes, pressures, metrics, and constraints) and use that to identify where technology will and won't move the needle.

- Build the business case for proposed initiatives: problem definition, options, cost, expected benefit, and risk.

- Elicit and document business requirements to a standard that delivery teams can build against, such as process flows, use cases, acceptance criteria, and clear articulation of what is out of scope.

- Manage assigned projects end to end, scope, plan, risk, dependencies, stakeholder communication, and delivery against committed dates.

- Partner with architecture, engineering, security, and vendor teams to shape solutions; evaluate build-versus-buy options and participate in vendor selection.

- Establish delivery governance checkpoints and milestone tracking to ensure solution designs align with technical standards, security policies, and performance goals.

- Lead operational readiness strategies, change enablement, and go-live transitions to ensure business teams are fully trained and systems transition cleanly into support.

- Drive adoption after go-live. Track whether the promised benefits were realized and report honestly when they weren't.

QUALIFICATIONS

- 8+ years of experience spanning business analysis, project or program management, and business-facing technology delivery roles.

- Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders without formal authority. Have a track record of getting initiatives funded and prioritized on the strength of the case you made.

- Strong requirements discipline. You can run a workshop with people who disagree with each other and come out with documentation everyone si
