Sr IT Delivery Manager

Blend is seeking a Senior Delivery Manager to lead complex, high-impact projects that blend AI, data engineering, and cloud technology. You will own project success from conception through delivery—managing timelines, stakeholder expectations, budgets, and cross-functional teams to transform our clients' most ambitious initiatives into measurable business impact.

This is a role for someone who thrives in technical complexity, communicates with clarity under pressure, and leads with both strategic vision and operational rigor.

• Project Lifecycle Leadership: Own scope, schedule, budget, and quality from RFP through delivery.
• Financial Stewardship: Track actuals against committed budgets in RFP and SOW; identify and communicate variances to sponsors and stakeholders.
• Project Planning & Execution: Build comprehensive project plans, manage Jira boards, Azure DevOps, or Smartsheets; decompose work into clear, trackable stories.
• Resource Management: Allocate and optimize team capacity; advocate for the people and skills needed to succeed.
• Stakeholder Alignment: Conduct requirements workshops, translate business needs into technical stories, manage expectations, and keep all parties aligned.
• Technical Partnership: Work alongside engineers, data scientists, and architects; understand technical feasibility and design trade-offs.
