About the Role:

This is a senior leader who keeps delivery on track, clients confident, and teams at their best while driving meaningful change someone who reads an engagement clearly, gets ahead of problems before they surface, and acts decisively to course correct and guide clients forward.

Delivery Excellence and Strategy:

• • Own engagement delivery — accountable for execution of contractual obligations, delivery quality across all workstreams, and an excellent client experience from kickoff through completion

  • Ideate with clients on how to progress and solution the engagement — running value stream mapping, identifying bottlenecks and opportunities, and co-creating the delivery approach with client stakeholders rather than simply executing whats handed to you

  • Build and maintain strong client relationships at the senior stakeholder level — own the day-to-day relationship, anticipate what clients need, and make sure they always know where things stand

  • Validate SOWs, resource forecasts, and invoicing accuracy

  • Identify opportunities for client expansion and support the sales team in positioning Liatrio for long-term partnership

Team Leadership and Development:

• • Accountable for the morale, well-being, and performance of 1-2 work-streams of 4-8 team members ranging from Engineer to Principal Engineers

  • Provide weekly 1:1s, real-time feedback, and formal monthly and bi-annual reviews — focused on real growth, not just assessment
