About the Technical Delivery Lead
The Technical Delivery Lead role is part of our staffing unit and will be embedded on a client site working directly with their project teams. This role will be responsible for driving end-to-end delivery across a complex, composable digital ecosystem spanning Ecommerce, Martech, and Enterprise IT. You will sit at the intersection of strategy, execution, and technical leadership—ensuring that cross-functional teams deliver scalable, high-quality solutions aligned to business outcomes. You will play a critical role in driving cross-functional execution across our Sitecore, Product Information Management (likely Salsify or Akeneo), Meta/Google, Salesforce Data Cloud and Marketing Cloud, and partnership with IT around Azure/ADF/Hyperscale workstreams.
We’re specifically looking for someone with strong technical depth, hybrid on-site availability (in-office M-W, remote Th-F), and the ability to elevate coordination across Ecommerce, Martech, and supporting IT teams. You will partner closely with Product, Engineering, Architecture, Marketing, and IT to orchestrate delivery across multiple platforms and vendors. While a lot of the work will be focusing primarily on execution, leadership, technical strategy, and cross-team alignment, you will also need deep technical knowledge to be successful.
