Senior Delivery Manager, GenAI & Agentic Systems

About the role

Grid Dynamics' AI Practice is growing and is looking for a Senior Delivery Manager for GenAI and Agentic Systems. You will work with long-standing enterprise clients and new accounts on agentic and multi-agent systems, data and AI platforms, and Physical AI. This is a full-cycle role: you take the delivery side of a pursuit from first estimate to signed SOW, then run the project yourself through discovery, delivery and closure.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the delivery side of high-value pursuits from intake to signed SOW, shaping scope and engagement model, building estimates and team plans, and flagging feasibility and delivery risks early.
• Help set up the core team for each new pursuit (architect, tech lead and delivery manager) with engineering and staffing leads.
• Lead won projects from discovery and start-up to completion, owning the plan, scope, change control, risks, budget, margin, team and client relationship.
• Represent the practice in project governance, including kick-offs, discovery and architecture reviews, steering committees and phase-gate risk reviews.
• Contribute to the practice's delivery standards for AI and data projects.

Required profile

• 8+ years in delivery management, including leading several data, ML or LLM-based projects end to end and being accountable for more than one project or workstream at a time.
• Presales experience shaping scope, delivery approach, estimates and team plans for proposals and SOWs with sales and architects, and defending them with the client.
• Experience running fixed-price or deliverable-based engagements, including discovery phases, change control, delivery risk and margin.
• Experience running steering committees and handling escalations with client directors and VPs.
• Experience leading distributed teams across time zones, including staffing new teams and coaching other managers.
• A track record of introducing a delivery standard across several projects or teams and showing its impact with project data.

Nice to have

• Hands-on use of AI-assisted engineering practices, such as agentic coding or an AI-enabled SDLC.
• Delivery of large data platform projects, such as migration or modernisation on Databricks or Snowflake.
• Projects in industrial, robotics or simulation settings.
• A prior portfolio or practice-level role covering delivery governance, cross-project risk management or coaching a pool of delivery managers.

What we offer

• Opportunity to work on bleeding-edge projects with a highly motivated and dedicated team.
• Competitive salary and flexible schedule.
• Benefits package including medical insurance and sports.
• Corporate social events and professional development opportunities.
• Well-equipped office.
